Red Dawn Movie Trailer (2012)

(youtube) Movie description: A city in Washington state awakens to the surreal sight of foreign paratroopers dropping from the sky - shockingly, the U.S. has been invaded and their hometown is the initial target. Quickly and without warning, the citizens find themselves prisoners and their town under enemy occupation. Determined to fight back, a group of young patriots seek refuge in the surrounding woods, training and reorganizing themselves into a guerilla group of fighters. Taking inspiration from their high school mascot, they call themselves the Wolverines, banding together to protect one another, liberate their town from its captors, and take back their freedom.

Making him a Marine undercuts the whole goddamn movie. The whole point was that it was a group of highschool students whose only experience had been some hunting and trapping in the surrounding area. Way to miss the point Hollywood. Fuck this movie.

And it's scheduled for release on Thanksgiving, the holiday that celebrates their arrival in the Native American's home.

If memory serves, in the original they also had the help of professional potter and dancer, Mr. Patrick Swayze.>> ^BagOTricks:

I think you could make a movie like this seriously and it would be REALLY good because of this idea. However I don't think this is that movie, but I want that movie to be made. Perhaps when we actually have this happen to us.

Just imagine a movie with a character who's the Govenor of the state who's trying to make deals with the North Koreans to keep everything running at least a bit, getting water and food to his people. Imagine what sort of Game of Thrones crap he has to deal with all the time, that would be awesome to see. Imagine the boots on the ground guys (Thor) and their racism and dirty tactics that sometimes kill some of their countrymen in the process. I'd want to see this movie if it would be done RIGHT. Showing the ugliness of war and the reality of a country (or part of one) in occupation. Watch the story of the public as they waste away, dealing with getting food and going through checkpoints. Watch the "Freedom Fighters" and their struggle and significant loses. In my opinion you could only do it in a Game of Thrones sort of way...there can be no heros. Also it would have to be a TV series, it wouldn't work as a movie unless you had one compelling story in the middle of this backdrop.

Look at all those terrorists, wreaking havoc with inferior weapons and improvised explosive devices. Why won't they just let those friendly soldiers bring freedom to their country? So what if a few of their friends and family die during the freedom bringing. Obviously they were just unavoidable collateral damage and acceptable losses considering the greater good.
