Nazis, Soviets and Terrorists Are Old News – Hollywood Sees Chinese As New Big Bad

2009-10-07

On my favorite blog on all things geek, I recently read that one of the worst movies of all time, Red Dawn, is being remade. Horrors.

As the blog noted, "I honestly don’t know why they are remaking the movie, the original is a classic and it wasn’t because it was good." Hah.

Anyway, apparently Hollywood has moved on from demonizing the latest "bad" group, swarthy Middle Eastern types, to Chinese.

The movie envisions a future U.S. that is being occupied by a hostile foreign nation. Apparently in the remake, that nation will be China. Makes sense, if China seems like an alien, scary place.

Here is some artwork that is either in the movie itself or was prepared for PR purposes.

I guess this is an example of what our Chinese occupiers will use to indoctrinate us.

For non-U.S. or younger readers who have not had the "pleasure" of seeing the original Red Dawn, note that while I am disappointed in the China bashing here, I am absolutely outraged that they are remaking this piece of crap.
