The invaders in the remake are North Koreans, apparently. Because they've got plenty of boats and definitely wouldn't eat each other once they ran out of food two hours into their trip here

China protested and threatened to not allow distribution of the film in China.

The producers folded and ruined the whole fucking premise.

Should have just made it into a period piece set in the 80's and used the Soviets all over again. Fuckin pricks.

It's interesting to look at the American perspective in the 80s and how they overestimated the competence/abilities of Soviet Russia. For example, look at Rocky IV, where Drago trains with sophisticated technology. In reality, the Soviets were badly outclassed in terms of conventional weapons and other technologies, but nobody realized it until the Cold War ended.

Good movie at the time,
the problem with the new one is its impossible to watch it with out thinking about how hypocritical it is now. We invade and occupy foreign nations killing and bombing poor people all over the place to enrich military contractors and justify federal military funding. So it make being all heroic and idealistic about fighting "evil" foreign occupiers ring hollow.
Wish it weren't true but its the truth.

The CIA definitively knew the whole time what soviet military programs were costing the Russians. There are loads of field reports of the real situation of the common man in Russia and how far industry lagged behind the west. Someone along the chain of command must have thought it was better to not make this known and instead let people live in fear to keep that insane military budget coming.

Because they are easily accessible touchstones that feed into a larger culture. I would argue Red Dawn is one of these.

Watch it and imagine being a 12 year old boy who has known all his life that the Soviets have 5000 missiles pointed at the US and the world could end in 20 minutes. I'm not saying that's the truth or history, but it certainly was part of the culture of the mid 80s and Red Dawn captures it perfectly.

Did you play war with your friends in the woods when you were a kid? Red Dawn was like the ultimate expression of that.
