May 16, 2022
WHO' S BETTER?
Ricardo Borja Dalisay (Ang Probinsyano)
Ricardo
B. Dalisay legally
named Ricardo De Leon or Cardo De Leon, or
simply known as Cardo Dalisay, is
the main protagonist of 2015 longest running action crime drama Philippine
television series, FPJ's Ang
Probinsyano. He is the twin brother of the no longer
alive Ador De Leon,
who serves as a minor protagonist until he was shot and killed by a corrupt
policeman Joaquin Tuazon in
the fourth episode before Cardo was the main protagonist of entire series.
The twins were separated
from each other due to Cardo having a sickness and he had to be moved to
another country. Their lives suffered a big turn when Ador was
killed during a human-trafficking operation by Joaquin Tuazon.
Later on in his career he tackled more cases to find the culprit. He even
becomes a traffic enforcer, a SAF trooper, and a member of the Task Force Agila.
He is portrayed by Coco Martin who also played Juan Dela Cruz in the television series of the same name. Teen Cardo was played by
Nash Aguas and and young Cardo was played by Filipino child actor, Izzy
Canillo.
John James Rambo (Rambo Film Series)
"You know what
you are. What you're made of. War is in your blood. Don't fight it. You didn't
kill for your country. You killed for yourself. God's never gonna make that go
away. When you're pushed, killing's as easy as breathing."
―John Rambo
John James Rambo is the main protagonist of the Rambo film series and David Morell's novel First Blood. A former Vietnam veteran
and highly skilled Green Beret, Rambo returned from the war as a decorated, but
disturbed hero. He is filled with self-loathing and hates killing, but is
willing to use his skills to protect those close to him. This is the general
plot line of the four First Blood sequels. The main character of the series, Rambo appears in
all the films. The only character to come close to this is Sam Trautman, his mentor and commander in Vietnam.
Although Rambo
appears to be a butch action stereotype, the character of John Rambo is
actually a broken and emotional man. He has witnessed all of his friends die,
was not loved as a child, faced unbearable terrors in Vietnam, returned to a
country that rejected him, then was seduced back into combat where he killed
hundreds more people before finally being left alone and miserable, unable to
forgive himself for what he has done. At one point, Rambo stated that he had
wasted his life fighting for things he thought he believed in. By the end of
the series, Rambo hates himself and has lost his faith in humanity, God and the
concept that things will get better for the world, due in no small part because
of the horrors of war he experienced. Rambo did get better at the end of the
series when he returned home, but he is no doubt plagued by nightmares from
his post-traumatic stress disorder. The character has more emotional depth than
most people would think based on what popular culture has depicted Rambo as,
and Sylvester Stallone's performance has been widely acclaimed.
The character was nominated for American Film Institute's list 100 Years… 100
Heroes and Villains.
Rambo's covert missions behind enemy lines were also quite accurate to real Vietnamese War tactics. The way the character fights, is in some details (such as weapons and modus operandi) based on soldiers that fought anti-guerrilla warfare during the Vietnam war.
DIFFERENCES
Cardo
is a well spirited policeman who despises criminals and has a short temper
unlike his brother Ador.
He
often scared criminals and even picked up fights with some fellow policemen
that he had to be transfered to the Highway Patrol Group. He learned his lesson
after he got back to the CIDG.
He is
also seen as bloodthirsty and misguided in some occasions. After the arrest of
his granduncle Delfin in
a framed-up charges, he turned out completely unhappy, devastated, and lost his
coolness and patience.
