Red Dawn (1984)

If nato dissolved and the US was invaded.

-----------------------------------------------

Despite how polarizing this movie was for America during the Cold War, it also explores a what if of how people can change during war time no matter how civil we act. To me I thought this was if "don't tread on me" was a movie. Great "what if" kind of movie.

Tony Scott’s Top Gun (1986)

John Milius’ Red Dawn (1984)

$12.00 [plus tax] to get in, movies start at 7(-ish).

“Along with the City of Durham, we have made major investments in the Carolina Theatre for the comfort and safety of our guests during our closure,” says Randy McKay, the Carolina Theatre’s President & CEO. “That includes tens of thousands of dollars in new state of the art HVAC upgrades from Global Plasma Solutions (GPS) that remove biohazards, pollen, and other contaminants to make our air as pure — and sometimes purer — than outdoor air.”  The theater has also earned a Global Biorisk Advisory Council® (GBAC) STAR™ accreditation for its cleaning practices to ensure that guests have a safe and enjoyable experience.  “Together, these cleaning practices and advanced air filtration make the Carolina Theatre one of the safest spaces to attend a film or live event in the region,” says McKay.  [source]

25 of 250: Favorite Films - Red Dawn

Not long ago, work colleagues and I got into a discussion about what our favorite films were. Given my categorical nature I could not resist writing down a list and, as a writing challenge, have decided to write 250 word reviews of my favorite 25 films of all-time. Note: these are my favorite films, not what I think are the best films of all time.

Directed by: John Milius

Written by: Kevin Reynolds and John Milius

Starring: Patrick Swazye, Lea Thomson, Charlie Sheen, Jennifer Grey, Powers Boothe

Year/Country: 1984, United States

The first film to be given a PG-13 rating, John Milius’s Red Dawn is at once a conservative fever dream and a sobering look at the cost of war. Set in 1984, a group of high school students escape the start of World War III after their Colorado town is taken over by Soviet paratroopers. Over the course of months, this group morphs into a guerilla group styling themselves as the “Wolverines” to take on their Russian and Cuban occupiers.

Yes, the movie is ridiculous. And yet Milius’s film is more than the sum of its parts. A large part of that is due to Milius’s eye for striking imagery (the opening with descending paratroopers is always startling) and that forces his characters to make awful choices. Case in point - at one point one of the Wolverines betrays the group and leads the Russians to their hideout. At this point, Swazye and company must make a choice: abandon their comrade or execute him for treason. The Wolverines choose the latter. It’s not unanimous. Swazye is asked by his distraught brother, “what’s the difference between them and us?” Swayze, his face contorted with rage and grief, growls, “we live here!”

No one will accuse Milius of being a romantic and he is to be applauded for not making a rah-rah film. It’s an absurd premise that was paranoid even in its day. Yet, because Milius takes this premise seriously we in turn take it seriously as well (to our own surprise).

stranger things, top gun, and red dawn

i made a longer post talking about how steve's brown leather jacket is definitely a parallel to patrick swayze's outfit in red dawn 1984, along with a lot of other costume parallels from red dawn, but i'm realizing that with the assortment of patches, it also looks a lot like tom cruise's jacket from top gun.

while i think that the red dawn connection has a lot more to say about his character, with him being the older brother/ leader character who is tasked with protecting a group of young high schoolers while their small town is under attack from an evil much greater than they can handle, i really like the callback to comparing steve to tom cruise

we see steve compared to him a lot in the earlier seasons, especially in relation to flirting with nancy, and we see that comparison brought back in full force here. robin notes that nancy still has a tom cruise poster in her room, and now steve is wearing a super similar jacket to top gun.

while the rekindling of their relationship seems a bit out of nowhere, especially with steve's conversation about growing and changing, i do like that through set dressing and costumes we get a bit more support for the storyline the duffers were trying to go for.

not sure i think steve and nancy is a fantastic relationship, but at least we get some cool parallels because of it. i ship nancy with an era of independence and i ship steve with happiness lol.

this is also my favorite season of outfits for steve, i think they've really perfected his look.

Another thing I’m noticing with Film RED is they use the word “dawn” a lot. 

At least in the english version. (yes I like the dub, sue me) 

They use it both in the sense of a sunrise and a verb (to dawn on something) 

One in particular really caught my eye, at the end when they’re waiting for everyone to return to their bodies, Shanks says “A new age is dawning soon”

They could have used any turn of phrase to say that but it felt like they used the word dawning very deliberately.

Several of Uta’s songs also mention the dawn.

At this point, if the D doesn’t stand for Dawn I’m gonna flip a table.

RED DAWN- 1984 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

World War 3 starts.....

Russia and Cuba send paratroopers to invade Colorado. A group of teenage friends hide out in the mountains. After seeing there friends and family killed they decide to morph into gorillas and battle the invading forces....

Fun action movie. However, it felt half an hour too long, in the middle of the movie when in the mountains, some of the fights seemed too similar. Still enjoyed the movie though.

Excellent cast. Jennifer Grey, Patrick Swayze. Charlie Sheen, Michael C Hall and more appear.

Directed by John Milius.
