An Idea for Somebody in the Movies

Republicans love the movie Red Dawn, a movie/propaganda piece that portrays a group of young people who form some kind of resistance when the U.S. is invaded by the Russians. Has anybody in Hollywood thought of making a movie along this line that supports progressive/liberal values that liberals and progressive can rally behind? Maybe the invaders could be Putin like characters supported by Republican politicians and right wing American activists, with characters based on Trump, Pence and their administration as well as others based on people like Rush Limbaugh, Pat Robertson and other members of the conservative movement and the religious right. Just an idea.

A blockbuster of epic proportions.  A surefire hit.  A foolproof recipe for boffo box office.

This idea makes about as much sense as the Robin Hood remake Nottingham film treatment that was getting kicked around Hollywood a few years back that had the genius idea to make a revisionist version of the Robin Hood legend with an heroic Sheriff and a terrorist Robin Hood. 

You've never heard of this Nottingham film?  That's because it never got made, just like this stupid idea for a Red Dawn remake with dipshit leftist good guys will never get made.

1. Good idea. Red Dawn is very deeply important.

For millions in the heartland, Down to the bone, Go Wolverines!!!
Our Sovereignty is sacred, and very literally the Russians are coming.

Wake up righties, democrats and Democrats are NOT the enemy.
Vladimir is in your head, and he Putin bad information in.

I enjoyed the movie Red Dawn but I don't consider it to be very deeply important. 

Basing one's political beliefs on fiction story movie plots is a leftist attribute.

Getting started EARLY. BantheGOP approves!

A leftist version of Red Dawn would have the Wolverines replaced by the Rainbow Unicorns, wearing pink *****-hats, armed with dildos, and attacking churches.

Actually, the primitives appear to have never grasped the true meaning of Robin Hood.

One usually thinks of him robbing from the rich to give to the poor, which is sort of true.

One has to consider who the rich were in those days; it's pretty much the same today.

Robin Hood stole from those in governmental employment to give back to the poor.

... democrats and Democrats are NOT the enemy.

Modern-day liberalism (big gov't) is anti-freedom.

People are willing to fight and die for freedom. What liberals/democrats offer is not freedom. A country where modern-day liberalism rules is not a country worth picking up a weapon to defend, because it's slavery to the State. It's not freedom.

That's good.  H5 earned and issued.

I've never seen "Red Dawn", so I can't say I love or hate it. What I have observed, recently, is that with the exception of a very few uber-hyped crockumentaries, heavy-handed, pedantic, just-so-political-story movies have been mostly financial disasters. Clubbing people over the head doesn't win election votes, and clubbing people over the head doesn't sell theater tickets, pay-per-views, and DVDs.

The Op made me laugh so hard a little pee came out.

You go guys. Meantime, I'm going to the range.

Hollywood pukes out liberal propaganda films all the time already: Conservatives and businessmen are routinely portrayed as pure- evil monsters who love deliberately  destroying ecosystems and oppressing minorities for fun and profit, Christians are portrayed as either morons, prudes/ bigots, or psychopaths, and liberals are portrayed as straight- up saints.

IIRC, the first one had some typical "liberal" heroes. The mayor and his son that sold out the city and the Wolverines. Don't get much more accurate character portrayal.

Oh, this is just f'n brilliant.

Has anybody in Hollywood thought of making a movie along this line that supports progressive/liberal values that liberals and progressive can rally behind?

Act I, Scene I:

Russian T-14 Armata tanks roll into Boston's Back Bay and take up positions around the city.  Progressive resistance members gather their courage and gloriously shit all over the sides of the tanks, a tremendous victory that is celebrated back at the yurt with a lot of pot-smoking and self-flagellation over sexist use of proper pronouns.

Act I, Scene II:

Our protagonist, a gay, Muslim cross-dresser, spectacularly masturbates in direct defiance of the tanks, leading to tremendous cheers from the liberal activists right up until one of the Russians shoots his dick off.

Act I, Scene III:

Russians march through the streets of Chicago.  Progressive resistance members bravely give the soldiers down-twinkles and take pictures of one another doing so, which they then courageously post to instagram.  Another liberal victory!




Yes siree!  This will be a box office smash like never seen before.  Gone With The Wind will look like an indie film compared to this hit movie.

Mr Wood, you sir need an agent. This is box office gold, Jerry it's GOLD, GOLD.

Robin Hood stole from those in governmental employment to give back to the poor.

I thought Robin Hood stole from the tax collector, because the government (king and the sheriff) was taxing the working people too much.

By that meaning, Republicans who want to cut taxes would be more like Robin Hood than any democrat.

The most recent episode of APB was appallingly bad in this regard.

There was a liberal aspect to the original Red Dawn. It was embodied in the town mayor who stood by and watched his constituents executed/murdered by the Cubans and the Russians. He was a good liberal and understood that you have to break a lot of eggs in order to make an omelet.

[Duke Nukum]

What would the lefities fight with? White light? Pictures of their hands? No lefty is going to take up an evil NRA gun to defend their country. They don't even believe in countries!

[FiddyBeowulf]

I am going to point this out once again to our DUmmie friends, Barack Obama said Russia was not a great geo-political foe. The DUmmies need to stop being racists (for disagreeing with Obama) and let this obsession with Russia go.

My thoughts exactly.  H5s given.

Robin Hood stole from those in governmental employment to give back to the poor.

More precisely, he stole taxes from the crown in order to alleviate the too-heavy tax burden. Even kids who only know the story from the Disney movie know where the money he was stealing was coming from.

Not to mention, turned in his own kid.
