For eight years, from 1981 until 1989, the United States had one of the greatest Presidents running the nation; Ronald Reagan. Of course, the media hated him. Of course, subsequent politicians and their media sycophants have rewrote the narrative, turning the amazing decade into one of “racism”, inequality, and a trampling of rights. What a crock of ********.
It was no such thing.
You can tell simply by looking at pop culture from that time.
If everyone was sad, unhappy, unemployed and suffering, the pop culture would reflect it. Just like pop culture reflected World War II, and the 1950’s. Pop culture is a far superior barometer of the health of a nation than the nonsense spewed out from mainstream media. For if you listen to the mainstream media narrative, the United States today is completely unified and angry against Donald Trump. The media has us believing that Antifa and the BLM are “grassroots” organizations that spring up organically. They try to give the impression that it’s just normal everyday folks that hide behind the black masks. Don’t believe them or their narrative, as it is not an accurate reflection of American society today.
This is my tribute to the decade of Ronald Reagan.
This is my tribute to the years from 1981 until 1989. If you, the reader, DON’T want to hear what actually happened during this time from someone who experienced it, you can leave. You can read the politically correct revised narrative; one that is saturating the history books, and one that is repeatedly proclaimed over and over by the progressive mainstream media. Go ahead. That is your reality. Suck it up. Absorb the *******. Read the narrative. Heck, you need boots to traverse the sludge.
I guess

It's also a very long post. You are not going to have a tribute to Ronald Reagan in two paragraphs, you know, short-memory millennial style like AXOS.
The article describes movies made during the 1980's and makes the argument that these movies were a reflection of that time. The movies were fun, and great because the mood of the nation was positive and upbeat.
Many movies are covered, from "Better off Dead", through "Real Genius" and through to "Doctor Detroit".
“rewrote”?
You’re about to get E-beat up for linking to a blog.
Someone sound the main score to E.T. please.

I believe most movies reflect more of what the producers think the public will buy rather than being a standalone morality or cultural statement.
The English language is dying.
Just like politicians...
I love this guy.
But patriotic films like Top Gun and Red Dawn took the real proud pulse of Reagan's America.
