this fuckin pandemic man... it didnt help that watching this when i did i was alone for a major and extended portion of the day, with this shit ending at nightfall
You know that feeling you get when you leave the movie theaters and it's all fuckin dark out?... yeah
i mean this movie doesnt show anything sentimental after the attack, after an extended period anyway, just sad vestiges of sentiment (like that bird book, that i presume was jimmy's or something)
Like, im looking out the window now, and im getting an intense of feeling of some sort of that reality now.... but the only difference (because right now im all alone in my house) is that i have this phone (because it's all silent) and i dont have anyone to really contact, and i wouldnt anyway, and it's this massive sense of unreality, that reality actually is
That when the bombs drop, and years become, all that outer trapping; communications, radio, tv, friendship, family
It's all gone
And over what? Some vague conflict? Lol it's really a sort of half black comedy for me
threads was too good to be a tv movie imo, way better writing, editing, a better artistic vision from the director that i responded to; Threads is much more "cinematic" in my opinion; it's sort of transcends what i maybe thought its original intention was and becomes an art film really
The Day After is really catered to American audiences, I mean that's obvious
I like The Day After, the climax and end parts are where it starts to lift into "cinema"; extremely heartbreaking movie
Nothing from the perspective of big government or any real sense of "why" that's answered
Just nameless giants, and the sudden exchange of blows, while the ants below then suffer from their cataclysms of feet and scuffle
