This year marks the 40th anniversary of the iconic Cold War thriller "Red Dawn," a film by a Hollywood conservative that showcased patriotism, a love for the American military and warned of the dangers of gun control. Yet, it also taught the man behind the movie a deep lesson about the mentality of liberal Hollywood.
Amanda Milius, the daughter of the film’s director, spoke to Fox News Digital about the film’s 40th anniversary, its legacy, and what the movie revealed to her dad. Released in 1984, "Red Dawn" told the story of the Soviet Union invading America and fighting a conventional land battle within the USA. It starred some of the most popular actors of the day and has gone on to be regarded as a cultural touchstone of the Cold War era.

The vile, evil attackers of America’s heartland, God and everything Americans hold sacred did not come from the Soviet Union. Those fiends, hell bent on destroying our country and Constitution, came from Hollyweird.
Red Dawn and Diehard are two of my favorite “guilty pleasure” movies.
So, what did it teach the director? Fox news won’t let me read the article unless I turn off Adblock.
The remake sucked...thank God for Patrick Swayze.
RIP
Somebody obviously never watched the movie.
“The lesson that he told myself and my brothers … was Hollywood says all they care about is if the thing makes money, like they’ll, you know, support it,” she said. “Not true. That movie made a great deal of money and they were like, ‘You’re never getting your hands on a camera again until you calm down.’”
She added, “A lot of people claim that ‘Red Dawn’ is the reason that he never got to really finish his career in as prolific of a way as he should have because of its politics … It was not the kind of movie that Hollywood was interested in putting out at that moment.”
Re David Hogg....what an absolutely dumbass comment from an obviously Godless person.
Thanks.
Best Line in the movie: “Because we live Here!” Boom!, Mf’er!
Dang. That kill shot is as ugly as that dude playing women’s volleyball for San Jose State.
I miss the Swayzemonster.

Those were they days, back when the libs thought Russia was the good guys.
I read some article a few years ago, interesting.
Said the remake was written , specifically, to show the Chi Comms invading the USA. So the leftlsts Hollywood power types threw a fit. Made them change the plot and made the invaders..North Koreans or something?
Even though China is the only country in the world now with enough shipping, money and power to attempt it.
Shows the influence of Chinese communists in Hollywood.
It was Cuba, not Russia. Russia merely sent advisors and Wolverine hunters, not an invading army.
Some theaters in Europe wouldn’t show it.
