Having seen Threads, I'm not sure surviving a nuclear war would even be desirable.
- ganSo 5y agoTrue. Watching that movie was a mistake. I just felt bad the entire time. Just felt like absolute ass. There is something to be said about art that just makes you feel awful the entire time.
- RGamma 5y agoIMO not. Large-enough scale nuclear war would indicate to me a colossal failure as a species. It might be best to leave behind the fellow apes for good. Will watch the movie.
- wing-_-nuts 5y ago...don't. This movie was horror on an existential level, and left me with a firm conviction that surviving a nuclear war would be the worst of all outcomes.
- RGamma 5y agoThe worst it could do is broaden my horizon. As long as it's fiction I don't mind, but thanks for your concern :)
- ramses0 5y ago"Failsafe" too. Old, black and white. Spooky. :-)
- echoradio 5y agoWatching “Threads” made me realize I want to be at ground zero if I’m ever in the vicinity of a target for a nuclear strike.
- aqsalose 5y agoI thought the picture Threads painted was silly at the later parts. After the nuclear war, the next generation loses grammar and ability to speak coherent sentences? Just because it is gritty, doesn't mean it is realistic. WW1 and WW2 both managed to be horrifying in unanticipated ways.
- shrimp_emoji 5y agoThat's more insane than having the war. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmMqMYgswsA&t=609s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmMqMYgswsA&t=609s
- thunkshift1 5y agoGenuinely the most terrifying/saddening movie I have ever seen. Imo that was one of the most effective anti nuclear content ever produced.
