What an excellent film. Everyone should own the DVD or (if you're in the science fiction type future and YouTube is still here....the latest format of this film)
What a great existence, living under the threat of nuclear attack. At least, in the days of swords and shields and horseback attacks, you could just hide up some hill somewhere...
What annoys me is that people these days are so ignorant about the real threat a nuclear apocalypse was, the world was literally on the crumbling cliff edge of total destruction...but avoided it. Just.
This is brilliantly terrifying and I'd forgotten how powerful a scene it was. In actual fact, it's the finale that's the most affecting, but the entire canon of nuclear attack scare films in the early to mid eighties were the very real nightmare that I and others of my generation grew up with. To know, when you're eight and with absolute certainty, that if WWIII kicked off you'd be dead inside of half an hour is some kind of way to grow up.
I read the photo-novel and did not see the hurricane of fire and gamma radiation that swept the earth barren. The panels were blank for 2 pgs and the borders shimmered, and then the ramshackle bomb shelter came back into focus.....
Maybe the aftereffects: The radiation sickness they were suffering, and their naive stupidity in the face of it all. There is no indication as to whether anybody survived. We are just left to guess.
Nobody ever got super-powers from an A-bomb blast, or had super-powered offspring.
@EmmetEarwax You're right of course. But I meant the actual moment where the bomb landed. Do you think that the double set of blank pages was better (since that leaves more to the imagination), or the sequence seen here?
It's also a bit odd how they seem to remember WWII with such rose-tinted glasses. You'd think that it would be the sort of thing you'd want to try and forget really...
When I saw the Twin Towers burning like torches my reactions were totally inappropiate (Prof. --- will have to move his class to another room to avoid his sttudents being distracted by this sight) (I wonder how much it will cost to fix these two skyscrapers after this damage). Reason: I have NEVER faced anything of such magnitude.
The Bloggs to the end thought the missing people were at the front dealing with the enemy. They were most probably cooked alive & skeletonized ! Naive to the end !
The film doesn't say whether civilization -or man- or life survived this war.
Also don't expect a crop of X-Men to appear in the next generation. Just monsters and cripples until the genetic genepool is cleaned up by the cruel but efficient Natural Selection. Also people who are fatally sick from the radiation, who just can't face life as hunter-gatherers in salt marshes after being pampered and cuddled by luxury....will die out.
You cant watch this and not be affected. jokes aside, the reality of such a thing happening is too great a price...despite what you might think of this crazy, stupid and fascinating world.
I think Man has become a bit too clever for his own good
Well, for those who claim I hadn't seen the movie, it was at least 2 years since I watched When the Wind Blows & I got some pertinent facts wrong. What I clearly recall all too vividly is the way this couple were trying so hard to come to grips with their failing health. This film didn't get to me because it scared me, but the overwhelming sadness & depressing situation.
Having watched this film online, I can assure you that, just because it's a cartoon, doesn't mean that it will be like along the lines of "Bugs Bunny Goes Berserk & Pushes the Nuke-Button". It's a very disturbing look at a naive couple who think that nuclear war didn't happen. Because of that, they can't fathom why they keep getting sicker & sicker. Bombs did go off, but the couple just carry on despite the deadly radiation. Grave Of the Fireflies is in cartoon form & is just horrible.
@nd03ltz Depends on how close they were to the blast. Anything near ground zero would definitely be flattened. There would be severe damage for a mile or two at least.
Leaders who choose to “defend” their nations with nuclear weapons must face the fact that nuclear war is suicidal and not an option if their citizens are to survive. Suicide is not a defense.
@lewisner Because of YouTube's strange way it handles comment responses, I'm really not sure what comment you're responding to.
But suffice to say, the Tsar Bomba was a publicity stunt, and nothing like that would actually be used in nuclear war. The Tsar Bomba's yeald was about 50 Megatons, while Soviet ICBMs tended to have a yeald between 0.5 and 5 megatons.
@kvn8907 Somebody commented that the couple should be safe because they were distant from the bomb but you replied that would not because the radius of destruction was greater. At Hiroshima I think a circle of 5 miles was destroyed and I believe in "Threads" Sheffield was hit by 2 x 20 Megaton bombs so probaly 30 miles away you'd be pretty much screwed.
@lewisner Then you probably missed the point. It doesn't matter how powerful the bomb is. A cherry bomb is still powerful if it goes off in your hand. It matters how distant you are from the bomb's explosion whether or not you'll get hurt.
In short, the blogs survived because a sufficiently powerful/weak nuclear bomb hit a sufficiently long enough distance away that their windows blew out but their house wasn't blown away.
How thick are you? Nazis never had access to nuclear weapons. They were created after their defeat. 1945, The atom bomb, Hiroshima, Nagaski, Japan. Any of that sounding familar? or did you drop out of history class?
You also apparntly don't know how nuclear weapons works. A bomb hiting a majour city would take out the surronding countryside too. Nuclear weapons arn't small flash bangs you know
@Adammarketis Well I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO fucking sorry Adammarketis. I am obviously very thick. thank you for your very intelligent input and I will mark you down in my "intelligent people to go to who know everything there is to know about everything" list. Yeah I dropped out of history class, just to answer your question. And yep, you're right again! :) I did not know how a nuclear bomb works! But now I know thanks to my good old buddy Adammarketis! :) Thanks bro! Really appreciate it man! xxx
@Adammarketis Also, there's no need to be a dick to everyone who asks a question or gets something wrong. Try to be a bit more happier, a bit more positive, get what I mean? Notice how I wasn't a dick in my reply? Yeah, try to be nicer to people, will make you feel better and them feel better. Not that I got down about your reply or the way you said it, but it might have been someone else who would take offence to that. Anyways. Learn to fucking spell and use grammar correctly you fucking cunt
@SonyLiteR Nah, Madagascar sucks, and someone will probably give it a bomb too for good measure. It IS a good place to go, on the other hand, in case of pandemics. Or so I hear.
@qwertasdcfghjklmo24z I meant make a new one, but I checked your user page, and though you only have one upload, you have over 700 favorates, so I'm not sure if you'd want to start a new list on a new username.
Then again, I have 380 favorites, and I pretty much only look at them when showing some to a friend, and then, I usually only look at the most recent 20 anyway, so you might not be losing anything by starting a new list. And you could always add your old username to your favorites bar.
@Dave54600 Because Fornost is close, and that's what was nuked. Obviously, if these two strange-looking hobbits were hit dead-on, they'd be instantly incinerated. It is only their distance from the blast zone that allows them to have a few more days of sweet life.
I think it's ironic. In the 80's people were constantly worried about nuclear war and in the 90's they felt the threat had mainly passed whilst in truth it was probably closer in the 90's than any other time as an weak nuclear state is far more dangerous than a fairly strong one.
That's just the 2-5 over pressure psi? The real dust from the bomb carried by the upper winds really does the damage to flesh. See my webby listed under my profile for the details.
To many people saying, the couples followed the rules, they didn't and this caused their downfall. 1. Doors was suppose to be closed, they removed most. 2. The lean-to was suppose to be at a 60 degree angle, he didn't check. 3. He said you're suppose to stay in it for 14 days, later on, he said he misread it, it only said to stay for 4 days. He also misread all the directions such as keeping water close, keep unneeded items, etc.
Now let's put the nuclear explosion bit together with some unfitting music such as The Entertainer, Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life, or Don't You Wish Your Girlfriend Was Hot Like Me.
I saw this when it came out originally at the cinema in 1986 and it scared me then as it does now. Very close to the book this was film almost identical too it. The Day After was nuclear sopa opera and Threads just totally depressing while this is just heart braking.
But i think after they went to the oven, they must eat normal food. Like spagettes lasange and like that. Then they can eat the diserve in a good mind and die to the radiation :) God bless by: Jesus
She is the typical controlling woman - burnt her darn cake and had to blow up the whole world so she can maintain her cake-lovelynishish - still the husband wasn't complaining with that sly manouvere. Don't fear the fear folks :)xxx
When a nuclear missile is coming, Mrs. Bloggs wouldn't want to put up her laundry, to be exposed to all that dust and riff-raff. What do you think she is, stupid? ;-)
All that terrible energy unleashed from atoms and yet they want to mess with a supercollider at the end of the month! Man should not mess with things he doesnt understand!
The fission bomb is the uncontrolled chain reaction of trillions of atoms of plutonium. The supercollider is the controlled magnetic acceleration of a few atoms to near-light speed to cause them to collide, break apart, and study the effects.
Man should not criticise that which he doesn't understand.
I think the great thing about this video is that you never actually see the sterotypical bomb hit or mushroom cloud, just the terrible effects of the explosion.
@hotelmario510 yeah, I find all the cars crashing into each other and the train still racing along, then to be blown off the tracks into the lake while that awful heat blast and blinding light is still happening horrible, as you imagine what the drivers of the vehicles are thinking in their last moments. All the old 80s Transits and other BL oldies, and the Deltic smashing into each other while the terrible new threat anniliates them is awful, a striking contrast between modern and old.
What an excellent film. Everyone should own the DVD or (if you're in the science fiction type future and YouTube is still here....the latest format of this film)

I think it's ironic. In the 80's people were constantly worried about nuclear war and in the 90's they felt the threat had mainly passed whilst in truth it was probably closer in the 90's than any other time as an weak nuclear state is far more dangerous than a fairly strong one.

Mind blowing film of the mid 80's.

so now we know, rock music was a major threatening force in 1986... there's a musical narrative going on in this video. fascinating

500mph winds of fire don't seem like so much fun anymore, especially the people in the cars being incinirated...

That's just the 2-5 over pressure psi? The real dust from the bomb carried by the upper winds really does the damage to flesh. See my webby listed under my profile for the details.

To many people saying, the couples followed the rules, they didn't and this caused their downfall. 1. Doors was suppose to be closed, they removed most. 2. The lean-to was suppose to be at a 60 degree angle, he didn't check. 3. He said you're suppose to stay in it for 14 days, later on, he said he misread it, it only said to stay for 4 days. He also misread all the directions such as keeping water close, keep unneeded items, etc.

Now let's put the nuclear explosion bit together with some unfitting music such as The Entertainer, Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life, or Don't You Wish Your Girlfriend Was Hot Like Me.

I saw this when it came out originally at the cinema in 1986 and it scared me then as it does now. Very close to the book this was film almost identical too it. The Day After was nuclear sopa opera and Threads just totally depressing while this is just heart braking.
thelearner60 1 year ago
@thelearner60 Its also funny, which means its not as depressing as threads.
That also makes it a lot more emotional though....

True true.
I can imagine them going to the oven after the explosion, and protected, the cake is perfectly fine.
Then they die of radiation poisoning.
kvn8907 1 year ago
@kvn8907 True true.
But i think after they went to the oven, they must eat normal food. Like spagettes lasange and like that. Then they can eat the diserve in a good mind and die to the radiation :) God bless by: Jesus

All that terrible energy unleashed from atoms and yet they want to mess with a supercollider at the end of the month! Man should not mess with things he doesnt understand!
jbird0168 2 years ago
The fission bomb is the uncontrolled chain reaction of trillions of atoms of plutonium. The supercollider is the controlled magnetic acceleration of a few atoms to near-light speed to cause them to collide, break apart, and study the effects.
Man should not criticise that which he doesn't understand.

I think the great thing about this video is that you never actually see the sterotypical bomb hit or mushroom cloud, just the terrible effects of the explosion.
hotelmario510 2 years ago 2
@hotelmario510 yeah, I find all the cars crashing into each other and the train still racing along, then to be blown off the tracks into the lake while that awful heat blast and blinding light is still happening horrible, as you imagine what the drivers of the vehicles are thinking in their last moments. All the old 80s Transits and other BL oldies, and the Deltic smashing into each other while the terrible new threat anniliates them is awful, a striking contrast between modern and old.
