Re: RE: Re: Re: Query on Anti-Colonial Revolts



Actually the John (aka 'General') Milius' versions of Teddy Roosevelt's view
of colonial conflict in The 'Wind and the Lion' and 'Rough Riders' are
amusing as mass mystifications. (and of course the Soviet use of Cuban
mercenaries to invade Colorado in 'Red Dawn' helps signal that end of irony
stuff, given events at Columbine).

Their significance is a bit more about the Republicanism of Hollywood
production deals and unfortunately require quite a bit of ideological
reframing, but do say something about graduates of the USC film school.
