Review title: ...
Product review: The plot and characters in Red Dawn are far more complex and subtle ... The fall of the U.S. federal government is not the result of a simple invasion, but a combination of political and military actions over many years. Yes, guns are used (on both sides) but the resulting carnage is also explored and questioned by characters on both sides. The ambiguous feelings of the Cuban (Nicaraguan?) officer towards his teenage enemies in the hills are a masterful twist in the plot. Yes, there is violence, but it is never glorified.The movie poses a rather simple question: how important is freedom to American citizens? For some, the answer is to give in and accept the occupation. The invaders even set up reeducation camps to help them in their transformation. But the main characters decide to fight for their liberty, and the final scenes are as dramatic as any you'll see on film.The technical quality of the DVD could be better, but it's at least equal to my old VHS version.
