First Blood | Soundtrack Suite (Jerry Goldsmith)

[@jamesmonroe7903]

It’s already been 16 years since the passing of Jerry Goldsmith in 2004 and he’s still very much missed in the film industry and movie fans everywhere!🌈

[@SoundtrackFred]

In 1982 Sylvester Stallone received world wide recognition as action-hero John Rambo, but "First Blood" is surprisingly not one of the typical Hollywood action spectacles of the time. Of course it had action and violence to a degree, but watching it for the first time one is especially stunned by the movie's emotional ending, without having a supervillain die in a spectacular way (well, does the movie has a real villain, anyway?), leaving the audience behind - feeling and thinking... The music by Jerry Goldsmith is the cherry on the cake. The movie starts with Rambo walking down the street to the cue "Home Coming", which illuminates the (character's) emotional background. The incidental music is used carefully (the complete music used in the movie runs only about 45 minutes) and just where needed to support suspense, action and in first place emotional scenes. Because of copyright reasons the well known song "It's A Long Road" (performed by Dan Hill) couldn't be included here, however Goldsmith's unused but striking isntrumental for the end credits can. Enjoy!

The movie ending is different from the book. There John Rambo dies.

[@dingorex]

Isn't it called by composers "shoe leather music" for character to just walk from A to B and have the music accentuate the internal life of the character(s) on screen? Jerry did this type of composition better than any other.

[@justinsanders2705]

Thank you for posting this instrumental masterpiece.

[@nicholasbarrett2204]

The instrumental is better anyways.

[@trevormoses5061]

Sheriff Teasle is the real villain, not Rambo. The end credits song features lyrics by South African born writer Hal Shaper.

[@garybryant1501]

The first film is a completely different beast to the rest of them and the music shows the emotional confusion which lurks in the narrative

[@MWM1978]

Cus it was based on a Novel depicting a Veteran suffering PTSD which this movie portrayed, especially the end scene where Rambo breaks down finally. So it had a good source material, the rest was just hollywood making Rambo another action stud for money.

[@oldskoolmacboy]

I Love first Blood but I can't watch the others. Little known fact Kirk Douglas was going to play Trautman but pulled out at the last minute

[@FreddyChristian]

True.

[@johnprudent3216]

Agreed. I always thought to myself that, as much as I like may enjoy them, the sequels kind of diminish the classic status of First Blood. They're also the reason why people tend to forget Stallone was and can still be a great dramatic actor in the right circumstance.

[@misterlexx2721]

BS ! Rambo First Blood Part 2 was a world wide hit that made millions. First Blood will always be special to me because of the premise of that film. Rambo 2 brought entertainment, testosterone for all heterosexual red blooded males . It showed the super soldier in action!

[@matteoromenghi]

Masterpiece by Jerry Goldsmith.

[@matteoromenghi]

With Police Story.

[@biancabarbasgrimiao301]

Jerry Goldsmith presents the human being John Rambo: lost, sad, tired and lonely. Wonderful.

[@johncaudill9782]

There are moments in this score that are some of the best in Jerry's career. I love this soundtrack dearly. Thank you Soundtrack Fred!

[@williamjhughes9460]

Great Memories of plying the Soundtrack LP on my mother's Record Deck. She would always tell me off for having the volume to high for for the bits of music that go quiet and then loud again in the Forrest. One of my all time favorite Soundtracks and I'm now 53. The 80s were just the best for Movies and their soundtracks 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎬😎

[@roli8]

Main Title: Full of harmony. I love it so much and the rest of the score is quiet magical! Jerry Goldsmith is pure Gold…🙏

[@andrewgordon235]

The french horn is an instrument I really miss in modern cinema. You heard it in a lot of movies and TV shows made before the 90's then it went away. We need it back along with full orchestra's.

[@FLAC2023]

Incredible movie... never get tired of watching it

[@shahidlatif6230]

My favourite movie soundtrack of all time

[@Mrpastry909]

I notice Rambo popping up in a lot of conservative memes "back in my day, Rambo was our hero and we taught boys not to be sissies" or "who wants the draft back? Raise your hand" It's ironic, because Rambo (at least the first movie) does not glorify action and violence; the entire movie depicts the tragedy of war and abandoning people whose only skill is violence.

[@TripleCCC05]

My favorite Goldsmith score, next to Hoosiers. Thank you so much!

[@filmmaker4181]

Listen to lonely are the brave score by goldsmith its good.

[@ashleysaunders9947]

First blood is one of the greatest movie's ever made. Stallones depiction of a troubled veteren is superlative 😊 thanks for upload.

Thank you fred you're so good.

Master piece

[@byronstauvollerkesler9583]

QUIENES NO NOS HEMOS EMOCIONADO. CUANDO TODO ESTA MAL, CUANDO NUESTRA PROPIA FAMILIA O FAMILIARES TE DEJAN A UN LADO SÓLO. Y SÓLO TENIENDO FÉ, FUERZA INTERNA COMENZAMOS A ENTENDER QUE DEBERÁS ARREGLARTELAS AUN CUANDO INCLUSO, DEBAS DORMIR A LA INTEMPERIE, TAPADO CON ALGÚN PLÁSTICO PARA CUBRIR LAS LÁGRIMAS QUE NUESTRO AMADO PADRE DIOS DERRAMA POR VER LA PRUEBA QUE TIENES EN ESE MOMENTO. BENDICIONES A CADA MUJER Y HOMBRE. QUE DEBE LUCHAR SÓLO CONTRA PREJUICIOS, DISCRIMINACIÓN, Y LA MALVADA MALDAD DE GENTE MALA.

[@TB1M1]

When i get bored with the kind of Zimmer sound always look up Goldsmith, always pushing the envelope.

[@munirdaowd2269]

جيري جولد سميث رجل مُبدع منذ ثلاثين سنه وانا استمع لهذه الموسيقي التي اشعر فيها بالفخر

[@edrooney1967]

A defining action movie for the era and to this day one of the more politically charged pieces of hollywood entertainment. The raw and outdoorsy design was followed by strong acting, Laszlo's earthy cinematography and Goldsmith's superb blend of orchestral aggressiveness and melody. One of my favourites in genre movies and adventure/thriller scores. Nice complation.

[@thething1377]

Great soundtrack, Great Movie, Great actors …!!! Rambo ❤❤❤❤❤

[@paolologroio299]

Colonna sonora stupenda!!

[@rolandh4947]

Wow!!! Fantastic score by Maestro Jerry Goldsmith. That is real music from a class AAA-composer and not like the holy synthi-shit from Zimmer and Co.

[@morlock2086]

Thank you Fred. Your suites are one of the reasons I always look forward to Fridays. This one does not disappoint. Goldsmith is always good. I look forward to dissecting (in a good way) today's submission.

[@SoundtrackFred]

Your comments are always a treat, Morlock! Thank you very much, I am very happy you like it!

[@iceomistar4302]

This movie had too much mindless violence for me but the music by the maestro more than made up for it.

[@willarthur6000]

Perhaps. But i think it's important to note that only one person died in the movie, and Rambo didn't really kill him.

[@ashishseth214]

John Rambo big Rambo

[@Halil.mi.o]

he just wanted to eat

[@victorroy5031]

Adam driver as Rambo? Kurt Russell as Teasel ? Personally I think a Tarantino remake that stays faithful to the book would be amazing , a one and done film , with an entirely different Rambo and Teasel , no wounding the officers , and Troutman doing what he has to do , even though his heart doesn't want to

[@mooville32]

Would be nice if they still use this score for it but yeah will they have the balls to make it literally faithful to the book?

[@luismariagiles3915]

Scott Glenn as Trautman!

[@Bradgilliswhammyman]

Rambo is a completely different movie from the sequels. The book ends with the death of Rambo and is a story about a soldier with tightly corseted PTSD that is finally given full expression by the end of the film. The action scenes drive the narrative but are not the focus of the movie.
