These nails r so hard to type with but here is your promised rant. Spoilers for Red Dawn 1984 below the cut
So first, there's plenty actors who were also in The Outsiders so there's a few parallels. Nner one is that Robert, played by Howell, killed Daryl, played by Darren Dalton. Which means Pony killed his brother....or Randy however u wanna view that. Number 2 is that Pony was friends with Johnny which means Johnny killed Pony in an alternate universe, bc Tommy played Robert.
Here's some parts that got me emotional. First was Toni's death, because she was begging Jed to kill her and she said 'i want it to be you' because she didn't wanna be killed by the Russians, or questioned by them. Another is when Robert broke down after finding out his dad was dead saying that he killed him because they took the guns and ammo, and the Russians killed his dad bc they noticed his products were gone, which meant he was aiding people. Another is where the Cornel died and Erica said she wouldn't love anybody ever again. Also when Jed looked at a picture of him and I think his parents after a game and cried. It wasn't really the fact that he cried, it was the whimpers he made, and the strangled noises as he tried to hide the fact that he finally broke. And another is when Jed and Mattie cried when they visited their dad in the camp. Continuing with Mattie and Jed....it completely broke me when Jed was carrying Matt's limp tired, dying body while trying to hold up his own dying body. And the fact that Jed carried Matt all that way, knowing they would both die... And when Jed said 'dad will be here soon, dad will be here soon'... holy fuck could have sobbed. And my mom brought up that Mattie never told Jed their dad was shot. So Jed might not have known. And the fact that Jed went all that way to the park so Matt could die where he had happy memories kills me. We all know Jed didn't care that he would die, he wanted Mattie to die in a place of happiness. And also how upset Erica got over Aardvark and the fact Cornel and Jed had to hold her down and then Cornel died after. Heart breaking. I think there's one more parallel but I cant remember.....fuck. Anyway. Also at the end after Jed picked up Mattie to carry him, there was one of the Cubans that was about to shoot him but the he just dropped his gun. He looked at his hands wondering why he was doing this and killing innocent people who just wanted to live in a world with out war. And Jeds pleading eyes and the Cuban held his gun up, 'please, let my brother and I die with no more pain than we're already in'. This movie was heart breaking....but at least the people died with their friends around them, and knowing they fought well and hard. Especially Jed and Mattie, they ended the battles in their territory. They ended the war almost. Who knows if it kept going after their deaths but yk. Literally could have cried. Also as I proof read this I teared up.
