RIP, Patrick Swayze.
Red Dawn was a provocative movie, I thought about it for 3 days after seeing it. The ending scene made me realize how my Dad’s friends felt about fighting in WWII, and how no one else cares about it any more, it’s ancient history, that kinda stuff.
Not true, but understand your thought. The movie made an impression on me also.
7 Days In May was poignant for me. Had a relative working for the AEC.
Duck and Hide was pointless (owing to where I lived, multiple targeting - hard lesson to realize at 11 y/o)
Took from Red Dawn the need for internal resistance needed in order for our Constitution to survive.
Doubt the movie would have been 'believable' in an East coast large city environment (consider a large city becomes prison... logical, but absolutely NOT desirable)
“WWII, and how no one else cares about it any more, it’s ancient history, that kinda stuff.”
We’re living through Exactly the same Govt encroachment which caused WWII here in our own country.
