My favorite part of Red Dawn is that it's implicitly supporting communists without realizing it. While the local rich and powerful support the occupation, the wolverine resistance cell fights the psychotic foreign occupying force to free their own people from oppression and random violence.

Like it was made straight out of Vietnam and the movie says "Okay, we were definitely the bad guys there, but like what if the tables were turned?" If you swapped America for Korea or Vietnam and Cuba with the US, the movies would basically be documentaries.
