After a nuclear fallout we would have a generation of retards growing up; come to think of it, that's actually what we have now. Except they won't die in radiation cancer anytime soon.
so if this happens the world will literally be taken over by retards and deformed people! thats why it wouldn't be the fittest who survival and we "evolve" we would "de-evolve"

The scene with the children on hard wooden benches among piles of filth and debris, watching a battered old 1980s VHS recording of "words and pictures" ..... That really takes me back to my childhood..... Happy memories!
@northerbrewer I disagree: you say "a lot of technology can be salvaged" but EMP will wipe out most electric-reliant items e.g. cars, TVs, computers. Any surviving cars will soon run out of fuel, any battery-powered items will soon run out. No mains electricity, gas, sewage or running water. Most people dead and survivers cold, hungry, sick with radiation. Forget technology and head for the most remote place you can find then return to stone-age survival skills.
@northerbrewer If I existed in the stone-age I would not be using a computer to communicate with you over the internet right now. However, I do have a great respect for my stone-age ancestors whose skills allowed them to survive over thousands of generations in ice-age conditions where most modern people would not survive a few hours. They lived without polluting the Planet or making it ugly with urban sprawl. Our ancestors respected nature.
@northerbrewer I never said I'm an "expert in stone-age survival" I have great interest in stone-age Europe and yes, I have camped in woods and fished in rivers etc. I also love traditional archery and I'm good at it. I have fired rifles years ago as a teenager at weekend army cadets. But now British gun laws are so strict that here only farmers legally own guns.
@cadwalauni Our ancestors did not respect nature, our ancestors had less of a grasp of nature than we do but our ancestors given the opportunity gradually built up a society that looked after it's own and created great technologies that allowed for better standards of life. The planet doesn't care if we pollute it though we should care if we pollute it and that's why we work to reduce our use of carbon that's why we need nuclear fusion or Liquid fluoride thorium reactors.
@ronocko Our ancestors did respect nature, they relied on it for their survival. In fact they worshipped it (nature religion). Humans would not exist if nature had not created us, we are entirely from nature. Science gives us a better understanding of nature but also allows us to do far more damage to the Planet and therefore ourselves. Over-population is the biggest threat now and technology IS NOT the answer - you dont cure an infestation of rats by giving the rats more food.
@cadwalauni If our ancestors respected nature why did they create modern society? You're talking as if they're any different to us, I'd argue the biggest threat is a religious nut countries like Iran or Israel having nuclear capability trying to bring about their "prophesied" apocalypse. Over population is only a problem in 3rd world countries where they can't sustain what they already have and where women are literally still having children from the age of 16 because they know nothing else.
@ronocko You say over-population is "only" a problem in 3rd world countries, clearly you are choosing to ignore the demographic holocaust now being inflicted upon Western Europe. Many demographic experts now believe that White people will be a minority in Western Europe within 30 years; THIS IS the worst threat facing us today.
@cadwalauni Inflicted? People can breed with whoever they choose to breed with so what if white skin colour isn't as prominant as other that's just how genetics work recessive and dominant genes etc.. what does it matter? If you want to choose to only breed with white people you can but you can't force eugenics nor should anyone want to. And don't confuse that as if I'm saying throw away all of our culture and assimilate into theirs. We have recessive genes oh well that's evolution.
@ronocko Why then do biologists and geneticists who work in the field of bio-diversity, environmental protection and conservation try so desperatly hard to preserve the unique gene-pools of indigenous species?... We, as indigenous Europeans have a unique genetic heritage and the most envied physical natural beauty of any race on Earth. This must be preserved and defended: race-mixing destroys what evolution took 10000s of years to create.
@cadwalauni You're hardly indigenous European. The word race really has no meaning anymore it's more apt to use haplogroups. You are of African descent. Even more so look into your past you're probably Roman rather than Celtic, You know who the Romans mixed with etc.. etc..? Race mixing created you as did migration into already inhabited lands. Most envied natural beauty? Most people think of English women as crooked yellow teethed essex girls of Americans as fat or greesey trailer trash.
@ronocko Is that the best you can do?... regergitate the anti-Euroic social-marxist propaganda and sheer laughable fantasy that the mass-media has forced down your throat all these years. My ancestors have lived in Europe for 40,000 years, before that they lived in the region of the Caucuses for even longer. In fact all human species are directly decended from the dryopiths (dryopithecus) the earliest dryopith remains were found in Europe. If the evil of race-mixing had been going on for as long
@cadwalauni Cont... as you suppose then the races that naturally exist today would never have had the chance to evolve. And for you to suggest that "race has no meaning" merely shows you utter stupidity.... If "race has no meaning" then laws against racism are based on non-existence and are therefore invalid.... Clearly you are mentally disabled and in need of some very strong psychiatric medication. Or you are just incredibly brain-washed and totally ignorant
@cadwalauni You are correct, but you're waisting your time trying to educate fools like @ronocko You cannot cure these sheep of decades of mass-media brain-washing within the space of a few comment boxes. Let these white sheep flock to their own genocide in the multicultural abattoir. Only Whites who reject race-mixing deserve to be saved.
@5thcenturyad Waisting? Yeah lets keep these genius white people around who just argue on youtube about how inferior everyone else is while being shit scared to say anything in public because you'd be raped like the bitch you are. Your daughter will have her lips around the cock of a black man or an Asian hey maybe even a Muslim and love it.
And that makes you upset doesn't it, despite the fact it shouldn't because you just want to control other peoples lives because of your own warped mind.
@ronocko My daughter hates blacks a hell of a lot more than I do. .... You ARE arguing on youtube..... I do speak about these issues in public.... And if you want to live in a society where people get rapped for expressing their political oppinions in public then go and live in africa you pathetic shit. Obviously you have a fetish for sucking dicks so go forefill it you disgusting perverted shit.
@5thcenturyad Hilarious. You indoctrinated your child with hate for other humans based on something arbitrary like colour of skin and you're proud. I didn't say I want people to get raped at all what I said was you would never spread this hateful message in front of 6,2 Tyrone in a public place on your own because you're scared. I don't have a fetish for sucking cock but if I did so what? Youre allowed to have what ever political ideals you choose but its people like you who want to be primitive
@ronocko P.S. Send another stupid reply if you want but it will just be deleted unread, you are unworthy of life so I wont bother reading any more of you bullshit. Just take my advice and just kill yourself you pathetic idiot.
@cadwalauni Race exists as a human construct if you had any idea about haplogroups as I keep trying to tell you then you would realize why race is not an effective term race is based on phenotypes, haplogroups are based on genotypes.
It's just gotten to the point where you are spamming hilarious conspiracy theorist bull shit you pulled from a paranoid and delusional website clearly not your own original thoughts (your original thought was probably fucking darkies!!) Get help.
@ronocko "own thoughts" as every musician has musical influences, so every politician has political influences. And what a pathetic cowardly hypocrite to accuse others of being "paranoid" or "scared" who are prepared to speak up for their race or if necessary risk their own lives for it. Clearly youre just a pathetic frightened coward making baseless immature remarks from behind the safty of a computer. If it ever comes to race-war (and I hope not) it will not be a fist fight between thugs on
@cadwalauni It must really bother you that early cro-magnon mixed with neanderthals, all this fear of destroying your precious pure gene pool? What you say is complete drivel and you've literally just resulted to ad hominem instead of refuting what I'm saying.
You are the one who needs some serious medical attention your whole argument is "UR JUST BRAIN WASHED MARXIST LEFTIST PROPOGANDAIST MASS MEDIA FANBOY" - Throw out more hot words with no meaning please. Look up haplogroups.
@ronocko Cont.... the street. The people you will most fear are those with a knowledge of explosives and a willingness to use them. There is a lot of information available on that subject, I have read much of it, however, I have no intention of using it, but others have. I also have no intention of reading any more of youre drivell you sad deluded frightened little coward, so as 5th century said " your replies will be deleted unread" though that may not stop u, the mad often talk to themselves.
@cadwalauni The hell of it is, it doesn't have to be that way. We don't HAVE to lose our electronics to EMP.
Technology industries already know a number of methods to build EMP/radiation resistance right into the design of electronics. Bipolar integrated circuits, Magnetoresistive RAM, building chips and hardware on insulating substrates rather than semiconductor wafers.
The broken English annoys me. It wouldn't be that way, because they'd learn from their parents/people arround them. I doubt people in medieval times spoke like that despite being illiterate.
@PopeBarley I think they're mentally retarded due to the effects of radiations in the womb and at a young age. They would have lacked required special care and eventually resulted in something similar to what we observe.
@PopeBarley Ruth and a lot of the survivors of the nuclear war seem really quiet and don't talk much; there's one guy who commented earlier saying that it's probably due to PTSD, and I'm inclined to agree. Even Bob and Ruth spoke in brief, short sentences when they were together.
That's probably a big reason why the kids can't speak English well; they don't have enough exposure to its proper use.
@JackRussellTerrier2 Whoever the old woman was before the war she is certainly a good person years after it, helping those children with food and shelter and helping them learn a skill making clothes. And "gizza" obviously means "give me that". But what else did he say? It sounded like "coney" Can any one here translate????
@5thcenturyad Yes true, but I was wondering that b/c she was probably considerably younger than she looked (eg Ruth,) possibly in her 40's, & 2 have survived would've needed certain survival skills at the time which increases th likelihood she was homeless b4 the attack. She also probably works for the national recovery department, which seems 2b fairly organized.
I think coney describes european rabbits & their pelts.
The skeletons obviously r a metaphor 4 death, all those kids had known.
@JackRussellTerrier2 I really like your theory about her being homeless before the war thus having the skills to survive after it. But Im not convinced she works for a national government department. I live in Britain, the island is far too big for a single government to survive years after amagedon. Britain won independence in 407-410 ad. Before the end of the 5th century it had split into about 30 independent nations. The Darkage after a nuclear war will be far darker than post-Roman Britain.
@5thcenturyad Coney is just an old word for rabbit. The film makers have given the children an archaic dialect to enhance the back to mediaeval times atmosphere, but in reality, there 's no reason for that. Why would the adults communicate with the kids in old language, they wouldn't know it anyway,just as you don't know 'coney' and it couldn't spontaneously arise.
The first time that I saw this movie, I didn't understand that the kids were speaking some caveman-talk. As a dumb American, I simply thought that's how British people spoke. I can't understand those northern accents anyway... :-\
At the risk of sounding glib, if YOU were Ruth, would you not just kill yourself? With your world blitzed beyond all recognition, what's your motivation to survive or bring up a child in such a wretched environment?
Less radiation and more a massive lack of any educational facilities. Pretty much everyone in the country is suffering from PTSD and the education of the young simply isn't an important priority compared to food or rebuilding things.
yes, but the young would still be taught by their parents how to speak, my original comment was that mental impairment would cause them speak in the manner that was shown in the film, which I think is a valid scenario.
What I meant was, PTSD and means that the parents aren't really gonna be speaking to the kids so they're not gonna be able to pick up on the English language that way. The only other way for them to learn consists of a single outdated and nearly illegible video. Mental impairment isn't quite plausible at this stage, as the amount of fallout makes a full-on stillbirth (much like the one she has at the end) far more likely than relatively minor mental impairment.
@HypaSonicDeathMonkey They still wouldn't pick up words like 'coney.' These are archaic dialect words, like you might find among gypsies or deep in Cumbria. There'd be no call for these words to make a comeback. They might have a simple vocab but it'd still be that of 80's Britain. Luckily, the 80s fashions don't make it through the holocaust so there's always a silver lining.
@littleniyah A higher proportion of people would have survived in rural areas, where people would be using dialect. It would probably be easier to teach kids dialect with no reading and writing, and notice how older women seem to be looking after the kids, they'd have grown up with dialect words. A lot has changed. This was made in the 80s; even some of the language of the townies is very regional.
@ZemplinTemplar "Ironic contrasts"........Do you mean the billboard with the angelic blond baby contrasts with the grim depressing overall tone of the film?
Meanwhile down under....a brutalised ex cop and his dog are hurtling down a highway in a souped up MFP pursuit special, pursued by leather tribal clad bikers!
Not to mention, even a small scale exchange of nucleae weapons (100 or so ICBM's) has been projected to cause a permanent change in the worlds climate (increasing global temperarures by a few degrees depending on location. That's only 100 nukes. Even today, the US and Russia have several thousand ICBM's operational. The potential damage to the biosphere extends beyond sheer devastation and radiation.
@GWBreck how come that hasn't happened with the thousands of nuclear bomb tests that've been carried out over the years? (is it a matter of location?)
@coyellots of people died of cancers after tourist watching hbomb tests in Nevada desertLas Vegas including John Wayne. and no one mentions the South Pacific Islanders downwind of Bikini who died after tests there, rather quickly,no one told them not to taste the ash not to mention the thyroid cancers and birth defects from villages near Chernobyl in France, veterans are still suing the government for cancers and physical defects caused by their proximity to nuclear testing in North Africa...
@GWBreck i mean more of a really-depressing nuclear holocaust threads-esque kindof shift! like... one where we'd all be going "fuck i have cancer and my baby is an octopus"
point taken none the less, i'm sure there has been an effect
(though i'm not convinced that the world overall has suffered)
@coyel Never said that the world has suffered, and you have to realize that that sentiment is largely based upon speculation, as a nuclear exchange of large scale has never occurred to study (and during the nuclear testings, they never tested for effects on the environment. Or perhaps they did, and sequestered the results from the public eye).
All those people whonsay that they'll just move to another country should read up on nuclear weapons. The fallout travels thousands of miles. It in turn can be caught in the jetstream and be dispersed over a much larger area of the Earth. A large scale engagement could potentially severely impact countires not directly involved.
Only if you born in washington DC On or after the year 2277. The game says the bombs dropped in 2077 and that vault 101 was shut for 200years (sans the exit of one small scout team, entry of one doctor, Exit of doctor and soon doctors protage child.
This part portrays not only the breakdown of language but also that death is accepted without grief as Jane shows no emotion at Ruth's passing despite this being her mother and even appears uncomfortable at her mother holding her hand. No doubt parental attentiveness has been largely destroyed.
As for Johnny B. Goode - just before you hear it in this clip, Jane staggers past her father's gutted car. No doubt someone has pulled the cassette player out of the car with the cassette intact and ap
@miktech71 It's more likely that the song is being played from a 78rpm record on a mechanical gramophone, the nuclear blast knocked out the car's ignition, I doubt the cassette player would have survived.
Where are the morons thinking "hey if that happens to me and my town ill just gather so many bottlecaps i can get and hide underground until everything passes and i can buy a gun to hunt giant roaches"?
If Interplay or Bethesda would saw this before making their games all the franchise would be scarier, deeper and less sci-fied than Silent Hill.
Jeeze.... I know life sucks, but it's been 8-10 years now. Are you just going to be sad about what happened forever and not even chat with your fellow students and co-workers?
@hotelmario510 Yeah, and the fact that Ruth has a Gateway Foodmarkets bag. Gateway used to be a former brand name for Somerfields today. Their slogan back then was slightly different but still grimly perfect for this scenario of carrying rats: Good Food Made Easy. Fucking hell. :<
At the same time as all this, in the far off Australian outback, a former cop dressed in black leather and steel is hurtling down a highway pursuing by tribal bikers...
@IEatManure ..... I laughed.. for the first time well watching this movie, I laughed. THANK YOU! god Damn it I needed that. Something to lighten the mood.... Ok back to this Horrific yet Stirringly gripping film....
@YumexxxChan Of course. You can still buy surplus ammo from the WWII era...guns stay in service and so do bullets, as long as you take a bit of care with 'em.
@electrogeek77 ...heh,heh....a dose of sarcasm and irony gets you upset! surly dude! the world turned into a dump pit with NO WELFARE ...hey! just like YANKS did to their own country!
How were they able to get the VCR and TV to work, TEN YEARS after the fact with NO electricity?? How ironic is it that the presenters are talking about skeletons, a fact I'm sure the post-war children are familiar with :/ Has that old woman memorised the video off by heart with her mouthing?
And why is it I can't think of the BBC series Words and Pictures without being reminded of NUCLEAR WAR!?! AAAAAAGGH!!
i do wonder if 13 years later, life would be quite so silent and joyless. Essentially, everyone would be mediaeval peasants again. That was a grim life, but they still had their festivals and weddings. Even in Auschwitz, some ppl found reasons for joy. Ppl are adaptable, and those who'd never known the world before, don't se why they wouldn't find ways to laugh.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I have a question...I've posted my opinion a couple of times here and every time I make some commentary on American politics, Republicans get all threatened and start chewing my ass about Bush or Reagan? I'm talking about the picture as a whole. I was also referring to Clinton and Obama. So you guys who feel all threatened and offended by my opinion, go to a Dr. & get the stick outcha ass!
@stelllabloo I saw that you started bashing one guy for being a "Reagan fan" just because he mentioned Reagan and Gorbachev.
You jump to conclusions too easily, and most of your comments on this movie are little more than sneering, rudely sarcastic comments about your own country (every time you mention the U.S. it's always in a sarcastic tone).
Do you believe only Republicans would get annoyed by your behavior?
After a nuclear fallout we would have a generation of retards growing up; come to think of it, that's actually what we have now. Except they won't die in radiation cancer anytime soon.

My ancestors have lived in Europe for 40,000 years, before that they lived in the region of the Caucuses for even longer. In fact all human species are directly decended from the dryopiths (dryopithecus) the earliest dryopith remains were found in Europe. If the evil of race-mixing had been going on for as long

@cadwalauni Cont... as you suppose then the races that naturally exist today would never have had the chance to evolve. And for you to suggest that "race has no meaning" merely shows you utter stupidity.... If "race has no meaning" then laws against racism are based on non-existence and are therefore invalid.... Clearly you are mentally disabled and in need of some very strong psychiatric medication. Or you are just incredibly brain-washed and totally ignorant

@PopeBarley Ruth and a lot of the survivors of the nuclear war seem really quiet and don't talk much; there's one guy who commented earlier saying that it's probably due to PTSD, and I'm inclined to agree. Even Bob and Ruth spoke in brief, short sentences when they were together.
That's probably a big reason why the kids can't speak English well; they don't have enough exposure to its proper use.

@JackRussellTerrier2 Whoever the old woman was before the war she is certainly a good person years after it, helping those children with food and shelter and helping them learn a skill making clothes. And "gizza" obviously means "give me that". But what else did he say? It sounded like "coney" Can any one here translate????
5thcenturyad 5 months ago
@5thcenturyad Yes true, but I was wondering that b/c she was probably considerably younger than she looked (eg Ruth,) possibly in her 40's, & 2 have survived would've needed certain survival skills at the time which increases th likelihood she was homeless b4 the attack. She also probably works for the national recovery department, which seems 2b fairly organized.
I think coney describes european rabbits & their pelts.
The skeletons obviously r a metaphor 4 death, all those kids had known.
JackRussellTerrier2 5 months ago
@JackRussellTerrier2 I really like your theory about her being homeless before the war thus having the skills to survive after it. But Im not convinced she works for a national government department. I live in Britain, the island is far too big for a single government to survive years after amagedon. Britain won independence in 407-410 ad. Before the end of the 5th century it had split into about 30 independent nations. The Darkage after a nuclear war will be far darker than post-Roman Britain.
5thcenturyad 4 months ago
@5thcenturyad Coney is just an old word for rabbit. The film makers have given the children an archaic dialect to enhance the back to mediaeval times atmosphere, but in reality, there 's no reason for that. Why would the adults communicate with the kids in old language, they wouldn't know it anyway,just as you don't know 'coney' and it couldn't spontaneously arise.

yes, but the young would still be taught by their parents how to speak, my original comment was that mental impairment would cause them speak in the manner that was shown in the film, which I think is a valid scenario.
boxers7x5 5 months ago
@boxers7x5
What I meant was, PTSD and means that the parents aren't really gonna be speaking to the kids so they're not gonna be able to pick up on the English language that way. The only other way for them to learn consists of a single outdated and nearly illegible video. Mental impairment isn't quite plausible at this stage, as the amount of fallout makes a full-on stillbirth (much like the one she has at the end) far more likely than relatively minor mental impairment.
HypaSonicDeathMonkey 5 months ago
@HypaSonicDeathMonkey They still wouldn't pick up words like 'coney.' These are archaic dialect words, like you might find among gypsies or deep in Cumbria. There'd be no call for these words to make a comeback. They might have a simple vocab but it'd still be that of 80's Britain. Luckily, the 80s fashions don't make it through the holocaust so there's always a silver lining.
littleniyah 1 month ago
@littleniyah A higher proportion of people would have survived in rural areas, where people would be using dialect. It would probably be easier to teach kids dialect with no reading and writing, and notice how older women seem to be looking after the kids, they'd have grown up with dialect words. A lot has changed. This was made in the 80s; even some of the language of the townies is very regional.

@coyel Never said that the world has suffered, and you have to realize that that sentiment is largely based upon speculation, as a nuclear exchange of large scale has never occurred to study (and during the nuclear testings, they never tested for effects on the environment. Or perhaps they did, and sequestered the results from the public eye).

All those people whonsay that they'll just move to another country should read up on nuclear weapons. The fallout travels thousands of miles.
