I’m not sure I catch the intent of your pictures.

Provide some narrative please.

(What/Why/When)

I thought those were the early poster renderings for Obama’s reelection campaign.

Yeah...
But in original movie, ChiComs were the ones that at the end help US against Russians?

Wander if RUSSIANS are in re-make to help US against ChiComs?

If so...
Than Obama is preparind the public in US for alliance with Russia...

"Wander if RUSSIANS are in re-make to help US against ChiComs?"

More likely, Mohammedans.

Do the kids in the remake fight the invaders with their iPods and Twitter?

Interesting... As if we need a movie to know that the Chinese Government treats its people like slaves? That we need a movie to tell us that China is in control of a large portion of our economy, and has threatened a financial war a few years back (which it seems we are in the middle of right now)? As if we need a movie to know how many political prisoners the ChiComs execute on a daily basis, or how many elderly they rip from their homes to build new skyscrapers without paying the owners?

As if we need a movie to know that Communism is EVIL??? Oh, wait... Maybe we do need a movie for that last one because it does seem the younger generations are clueless — however, I don’t think Red Dawn - the remake, is going to do the job...

It figures that the Communists in Beijing would hate a movie like this. We know nothing of the sort would ever make it past the censors in THEIR government. At least folks here in America KNOW it’s a STORY - ENTERTAINMENT, and nothing more...

Also, I don’t see how those posters — unless they are made from fans who’ve caught clips of the movie already — say anything about the movie itself!

What I want to know is WHY MGM decided to remake this film, now? The original was just fine as it was.

That said:
GO WOLVERINES!!! KICK SOME COMMIE BUTT!

Interesting. All of the propaganda signage with Chicom markings on it says mostly the same stuff as you hear out of Democrats almost daily.

Yeah, I noticed that too... It will be very interesting to see how this movie was remade. The fact that the ChiComs are upset about it makes me want to see it now, when I was happy with my DVD copy of the original all this time...

They talk them to death. They watch Obama and Kerry speeches as training.

Maybe they just make all the ChiComs their ‘FaceBook Friends.’

Is Scientology a banned religion/cult in China?

Would be a fitting response by the Chinese authorities, someone should suggest this solution.

Hey China - here’s a thought - stop inspiring the filmmakers, rather than condemn the filmmakers after you’ve inpired them.

Interesting. I expected the bad guys this time around would be Tea Party activists. (White racists of course)

The photos appear to be shots from the “Red Dawn” remake...where the Chinese take over the USA.

The excerpts appear to reflect a story in which China's People's Liberation Army -- led by Korean-American actor Will Yun Lee as the chief baddie, Captain Lo -- invade the U.S., with a group of resisters fighting back.

Is this that Won Hung Lo guy?
