[Movies] So I just watched Threads...

[Deleted]

I don't really know the point of this thread, but I really have to get it out.

Seriously, that is probably the most disturbing movie I've ever seen. Not only because of the excellent choreography (or however it's spelt), but also because that would probably be the outcome if a nuclear war ever happened.

Now, luckely there's not a huge risk of that happening, seeing how North Korea is pretty much the only one who seems to want war in this world and their nuclear missiles are, well, pathetic.

Still, I just have this fascination for World War 3, nuclear apocalypses and everything but... wow, after watching this I will probably just lay off with those for a while. Threads is fucking horrifying.

I've never seen the movie, and don't have a particular desire to, but I agree the topic is really rather disturbing. There's good reason that upon seeing the first nuclear weapon tested J. Robert Oppenheimer's reaction was to recall the words of the Bhagavad Gita, "I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."

Anyone condoning the use of nuclear weapons really needs to watch this, easily one of the most thought provoking movies I have seen, Thanks OP for suggesting it.
