Red Dawn (2012)
Rubbish
North Korea (pop 24 million GDP $45 billion) invades America (pop 310 million GDP $15 trillion and the planets most heavily armed nation by a mile) Unless it's a comedy then the basic premise of a movie must have at least toenail in reality this doesn't even have that. It's like my country the UK being invaded by Malta. It's just not going to happen.
This is just playing on US paranoia and obsession with guns whipped up by the Koch brothers to further their political aims. It's drivel do not watch it. I'm sure the people who appeared in it are hoping the damage to their reputations and careers will be limited as soon as it goes to video because the Razzies are going to be all over it.
The Fighting Seabees (1944)
WW2 Propaganda Nonsense
Like all these ww2 propaganda films it was rubbish. Full of overblown heroics and racist name calling. I see lots of reviews saying movies like this were a product of their time. Well so were the propaganda movies the Nazis and the Japanese were putting out but I don't see anyone say what good films they were. Propaganda isn't just to bolster moral it's also supposed to engender hatred and demonize the enemy. It's OK to kill them because they are hateful and inhuman. Their soldiers don't have loved ones like ours they're just meat bags who deserve to die. We have wars today but nobody in their right mind would try to portray them as movies like this one and others of it's ilk does. People are far too sophisticated to buy this "war is glorious" rubbish. If it proves anything it's that people back then must have been pretty gullible to buy such nonsense as the true face of war.
