The Day After - 1983 [TV, ABC] - Nuclear Attack

This famous scene from the highly-controversial made for TV movie "The Day After" shows a nuclear attack on a major US City, in the midwest.

Yes, the special effects are cheesy.. It's interesting to note that the whole "X-RAY" effects are not only odd, but were cut from the recent airing on the Sci-Fi channel...!

"wow, shit nigger". Is that what they say in Brazil? Where you're from? "wow, shit nigger". NIGGER. Wow. Ha ha. I'm done here.

I'm not really sure what you're trying to say here. The Simpsons? Nuclear war is not as much of a threat today as it was in 1983, and this movie was not meant to say it was *gonna* happen. It was supposed to show- graphically- how bad it would be if it did. And how important it was to find a better solution to US-Soviet disagreements. I don't think the world's gonna end. When did you think I said that?

Jurassic You didn see the Simpson? The chapter when Springfield in a nuclear war case will be used as point to calibrate they missiles? Well here is your answer for South America. Just i hope someone kick the mother fucker swzeland, always neutral (LOL) I'm jocking come on guys stop whit paranoid A nuclear war? The end of world? 2012 dind't teaching something? Hollywood sometimes could be wrong. (lol)

Who in the fuck are you even trying to convince, anyway? I'm right. Plain and simple, I'm right. You're just pulling shit out of your ass, calling this movie and the entire Cold War a "lie" and nuclear war a "magical" fantasy. You must live in one hell of a cool dream world, my friend. Ah, you know what? I'm done. Go fuck yourself, you fucking Brazilian MENSA fella. You must think you're a motherfuckin genius.

[Jurassic0Al]

Fucking character limits. I don't even know why I'm wasting my keyboard on this. Okay. Yes, South America would not have been a target for Soviet or American ICBMs. Know why? Nothing either side cared about was DOWN there! And guess what? In "The Day After", millions of both Americans and Soviets are dead and dozens of cities don't exist anymore. The USA's and USSR's economies are in ruins. Good luck to South America, then, as the world economy collapses with the loss of its two biggest members.

[Jurassic0Al]

The ONLY thing you're right about, in the midst of all your bizarre fucking ramblings about how the Cold War never happened, the Soviets and Americans were friends the whole time and all the rest of that bullshit, is that South America would not have been a target. Yes. Congratu-fucking-lations, you finally got something right.

[Jurassic0Al]

The Soviet and American blocs HATED each other. They were NEVER friends and we are DAMN lucky a war like in "The Day After" never happened. We came close many times, and say whatever you like but a nuclear war between the Soviets and Americans would have killed millions. You and your fucking stupid "magical nuclear war". Tell me how it's magical. Go on. Tell me all about how its "magical". I just love that fucking Disney shit.

[Jurassic0Al]

Okay, you know what? I just read that bit about how you think being killed by a nuclear weapon is the same as dying from a conventional bomb. And about how nuclear weapons- some of which are specifically called "city busters" for their ability to wipe cities off the map- were not made to hit cities. Which is why Kansas City gets blown the fuck up in this movie, right? And Moscow- among many other places?
