Red Dawn (1984) is the dumbest piece of american propaganda I've ever watched

Like, it's genuinely hilarious how blatantly hypocritical and illogical the message is, bordering on facist imagery.

• I always knew that the worst danger for world peace was the german greens party.
• The movie starts with such a bad history lesson I'd mistake it for making fun of americans being uneducated in a different movie
• the only black guy of course dies immediatly
• the communists somehow land with paratroopers despite lacking air superiority, and immediatly start killing random people, as one does during an invasion, because fuck actually conquering anything, we're here to fire RPGs at school busses
• the american helicopter displays the impressive strategy of shooting rockets at the also american town hall
• the kids are so american they somehow manage to bring enough bullets for an army, but not any water
• despite no native americans actually appearing in the movie, the protagonists still manage to be casually racist against them
• the communists are ultra-controlling and oppressive, but that never actually stops the protagonists from going anywhere and talking to anybody (because the enemy has to be strong and weak at once)
• the communists locking people in camps without trial is a source of horror (because americans would never profile people and lock them into camps)
• the protagonists commit a war crime, make up an excuse, and it never gets brought up again (realistic americans) - by the way, they've never heard of the geneva convention (this has to be a parody, right?)
• US officer confuses "great britain" and "england" despite great britain being one of their only allies in WW3
• 400 million dead chinese is the punchline for a joke, because nobody cares about dead chinese
• you'd think that sexually harassing girls would be another thing supposed to make me hate the communists, but no, the americans also do that
• despite obviously having a lot of aircraft, the communists only once (at the very end) actually use them against the protagonists, because otherwise it would be over after half an hour
• i could maybe care about the half-hearted anti-war messages if the writer hadn't written the whole script one-handed because he was so busy jerking it to the idea of dead russians
• tanks never have infantry support, because the soviets got their doctrine from a box of cereal
• protagonists get upset about the russians torturing prisoners in the same scene where they torture a prisoner themselves
• american girl utterly sieved by a helicopter-mounted MG somehow requires a mercy kill because her nigh-unlimited hitpoints do not allow her to die to anything below grenades
• protagonist gets shot because he desperately had to drop a one-liner before killing the antagonist
• communist is the only person in the movie to ever spare somebody, because apparently even in their own fantasy americans can't concieve of showing mercy

Its insane how much this movie made me hate americans. The utter arrogance and ignorance required to create this movie. How did trash like this get an even worse sequel? I almost wish Hollywood had burned in the fires of cuban aggression, because that would have spared the world this abomination.

All in all 6/10 movie, at least if you've drunk five beers beforehand.
