Red Dawn

Red Dawn is a 2028 future action film based on the 1984 film and 2012 remake of the same name. It's a reimagined Red Dawn involving a crossover between two video games Doki Doki Literature Club Plus which was released in 2021 and Friday Night Funkin which was released in 2020. The film centers a Resistance group stopping the Monikan (Japanese) invasion which took place in San Diego. This movie is inspired by the video game Homefront, a video game about North Korea reuniting with South Korea, annexing Southeast Asia, parts of Oceania and then invading the west coast and midwest part of the USA.

Plot
An introductory montage shows the European Union suffering from an economic crisis and a weaker NATO Alliance dealing with a powerful imperial Monikan Empire (Japan) ruled by a 29 year old Monika and a ultranationalist-dominated Russia. A worse crisis hits USA worser than the Great Depression and makes the USA weaker.

U.S. Marine Jed Eckert is home on leave in San Diego, California. He reunites with his father, San Diego Police Segarent Tom Eckert, and his brother Matt who is a football player, as well as his childhood friend now girlfriend Toni Walsh, and her friend Erica Martin, Matt's Girlfriend. When it was Saturday in the morning Jed and Matt drove their truck to go to Cars and Coffee in Rancho Santa Fe, a census-designated place in San Diego County but first they get gas near there before going to the place. When they got there they met a man who has aLambo, they have a conversation about his car and everything else. Suddenly their conversation was interrupted and they look up in the sky shocked to see swarms of Monikan paratroopers and transport aircraft. Jed Eckert and Matt ran to go back to their truck while the guy went back to his Lambo but he ended up getting shot when he went inside by a paratrooper. Their father tells them to flee to the cabin while he helps the townspeople.

In Downtown San Diego Monikan soliders impose order after a hasty occupation. Captain Itami instructs the Imperial Soliders to find a place to put their tanks and army vehicles that they stolen from USA.

Before they went to the cabin they visited

They are joined there by Robert Kitner, Daryl Jenkins, Danny Jackson, siblings Dan and Jimmy Morris, characters from the video game Friday Night Funkin who are actually real Boyfriend and Girlfriend who are couples and Senpai who is now there friend after he forgave them after the rap battle and he got revived after he was destroyed and later Toni; Erica was captured by the Monikans. Tensions build as teens try to surrender to the invaders or resist, with Senpai betraying their position. Monikan soldiers under the command of Captain Itami bring Sergeant Eckert and the mayor out to convince the group to surrender; while the Mayor convinces the boys to surrender, Itami kills Segarant Eckert because he refused to cooperate and encouraged them to resist.

Later, Jed tells everyone they are going to fight and the others agreed to join him, calling themselves "Wolverines" just like their school mascot. After acquiring weapons, establishing a base in a huge abandoned mine, putting beds there, and being trained by Jed, the Wolverines begin a series of guerrilla attacks against soldiers and collaborators, including Senpai. As Matt manages to free Erica from her imprisonment, he jeopardizes the mission resulting in Jimmy's death.

They stole a van in Downtown and drove there to go to Carlsbad another city in San Diego County. They saw the whole city with a lot of soldiers gaurding but not as much as San Diego. They arrived at weird place there that was new. They saw a lying pit where dead bodies are being dumped. They are shocked and when they started shooting and kill all the soliders there. After killing them and blowing up their tanks with anti tank grenades they hide in the pit so the Monikan soldiers don't see them.

When the soliders arrived with their helicopter they saw their fellow soliders killed and tried to look for the Wolverines but they didn't get to find them so they went back to their helicopter and left.

Jed tells them to get out of the corpse and they drove the van back to their base but they stopped at a store filling the van trunk with Coca Cola, etc. After they leave the store they drove again to go to the base. When they arrived back and they went inside Jed tells everyone if everyone is okay and they told him yes but Girlfriend's feet were hurting from high heels and Boyfriend had to massage her feet. As he removes her heels she put her feet on his lap and began to rub her feet. After Boyfriend rubbed her feet he gets some water and soap to wash her feet.

Boyfriend carried Girlfriend to a bed so she can lay down and as Boyfriend took off his sneakers and went on the bed lying down Girl put her feet on his back as a foot rest.

Trivia

 * The word “red” on Red Dawn 2028 is associated with imperialism and communism.


 * The film was originally going to be called “Green Dawn” but the actor/screenwriter Christian Reyes' uncle said having a different name will confuse people and stealing.


 * The actor/screenwriter Christian suggest that Monika should be to be played by a Japanese actress who is 5’7” because he claims Monika’s official height is 5’7” and he argues that in order to make it into realism Monika has to be pure Japanese.
