Introduction Movies are not only entertaining, but are also educative. Moviemakers use movies to bring out varied themes, trends, concepts, and stereotypes that are prevalent in the society. The society ought to identify its shortcomings and correct them by watching movies, which are in most cases organized in a manner to expose the weaknesses and ills in the society. Among the themes, trends, concepts, and stereotypes included in most of the movies include globalization, social disorganization in the society, invasion-succession, and gentrification. This paper will look at globalization and social disorganization as some of the trends and themes evidenced in the Red Dawn Movie and The Red Tail documentary. Red Dawn Movie Plot summary The movie involves Matt, a former high school footballer and Jed, a war veteran. The two attempt to contain an American incursion by the North Korean soldiers. The soldiers capture Jed’s father together with Matt’s girlfriend, forcing Matt and Jed to flee to the mountains to escape from the kidnappers.
