As surprising as it sounds, Rambo does a decent job of portraying the level of violence and human rights abuses currently occurring in Burma.  A montage at the very beginning of the film of actual footage taken from inside Burma fills the screen with horrific images of peaceful protesters being shot at and people fleeing into the jungle with the Burmese military giving chase and opening fire.  The film realistically portrays violent actions committed by the Burmese military towards innocent people including rape, land mine usage, and massacring a village by rolling up to it and firing their tanks and guns at the people.  A favorite game played by the military in Rambo is to place mines in random places of a rice field and line prisoners up at one end and fire a gun causing them to run through the rice field.  While not verified, this game could conceivably be happening.
While Rambo is an extremely violent movie, the most graphically disturbing scenes are not caused by the actions of the title character, but are shown through the actions and abuses committed by the SPDC.  The relief workers who are captured and cause Rambo and a few mercenaries to begin the rescue effort are portrayed naively in the film.  Relief work is not typically done by a small, isolated group who operate independently, but rather real relief work is coordinated and executed far better than what is shown in Rambo.
The issues that Rambo brings awareness to may not inspire everyone who watches this film to participate in the democracy movement in Burma, but hopefully it will create an effect that causes people to understand the situation that is occurring in Burma. If Rambo motivates anyone to take action to the cause, then the film will have proven to be a successful Hollywood attempt to illustrate the crisis in Burma.
