They really dont take the nuclear destruction very seriously. Like when the entire house is destroyed the guy just gets up and is like "Ill make us a spot of tea" like everything is all right, then the wife is all like "Oh we could have some nice curtains for the summer" While looking at a wasteland through a destroyed window.

[/QUOTE] ...but what is there really to look to after that? After the end.
They were so close... I only hope I do better in thier situation
This was a really great watch.
That was really good. It got pretty darn grim towards the end.
Iron Maiden has a song based on this on its last album. Its awesome. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHg9PJc1Nds[/media]
[QUOTE=BigSmokeDawg;36597880]That was really good. It got pretty darn grim towards the end.[/QUOTE] It was grim from the start. They didn't stand a chance from the beginning. It just shows you how hopeless a nuclear war would be for all of us.

That was really fucking eerie.
I was hoping they would live. Great movie though.
This movie is fantastic. It shows to people that there is more than just the initial force, heat, and light. Something a lot of people forget: Fallout. Residual radiation. I felt incredibly uneasy watching this movie.

It's a film about a nuclear war, but the nuclear war itself takes a whole of maybe five minutes, a few minutes into the film. The majority of the film is about people trying to survive the nuclear fallout. Honestly, was one of the few movies to make me feel really uncomfortable watching. Mostly the scenes with the people suffering from severe radiation poisoning. Even though the effects weren't that great, even for an 80s film, it was still really disturbing. It's also an insanely grim film.
"Did you see any fallout falling out, dear?" My sides.

it was really grim but some moments were like "how fucking stupid is this couple?" what the water isnt running? the power is out?, the telephones are out? what the TV doesnt work?
I remember watching this movie, and thinking about it every now and then. I remember dreaming about it a couple days ago, and I was very paranoid that I was doing the wrong thing when hiding from the fallout in that dream.
The cake will be burned! A nuclear bomb is about to go off and she still worries about working in the kitchen, thats my kinda woman.
That was dark as fuck. I had my fingers crossed for them the whole while. :(
[QUOTE=codemaster85;36612097]it was really grim but some moments were like "how fucking stupid is this couple?" what the water isnt running? the power is out?, the telephones are out? what the TV doesnt work?[/QUOTE] They're a senile old couple, they don't know any better.
[QUOTE=Tommeh!;36616700]That was dark as fuck. I had my fingers crossed for them the whole while. :([/QUOTE] I waited for something positive to happen, really sad. The moment they go outside the "shelter", how could they forget that there was radiation outside? It just blows my mind.
[QUOTE=milkandcooki;36617571]They're a senile old couple, they don't know any better.[/QUOTE] They aren't senile, they're naive. They don't think it's much different from the bombings in the second world war and don't understand the effects of radiation or sheer scale of the damage. They think everything's a bit broken but it's alright because somebody is going to come and help them some time soon. And then they crawl into their body bags to die. Their naivety is even visually represented by their looking like giant babies.
[QUOTE=codemaster85;36612097]it was really grim but some moments were like "how fucking stupid is this couple?" what the water isnt running? the power is out?, the telephones are out? what the TV doesnt work?[/QUOTE] The whole film is basically making the point that the Government wasn't doing enough to inform it's citizens of the real dangers.
I still don't fully understand why they went out of their shelter in the first place, can someone explain? I'm probably missing something really obvious lol
Eerie. Like, REALLY Eerie.

I'm only 7 minutes in and already its like a spitting image of my grandparents :(
