This movie is showing me that if nuclear war breaks out, it is acceptable to leave the grocery store with a full basket of unpaid-for-groceries
I had to abandon this movie for now. It's too traumatizing in the current climate.
@MargaretSefton@writing.exchange I was a teenager in the 80s. The threat of nuclear war was VERY real, and persistent. We lived across the Red River from Barksdale AFB, which was a SAC base. It was a known priority target for the Soviet Union.
Our family plan for when the missiles started flying (provided we had enough warning), was to get in our cars, drive across the bridge, and get as close as possible to Barksdale. Not for protection. It was so we could be - hopefully - vaporized.
@TheLastOfHisName Now that's what I call a plan! 
@MargaretSefton@writing.exchange It's supposed to be. This wasn't made for entertainment. It was made to send a message to world leaders.
Others in this vein:
- Countdown to Looking Glass
- The Day After
- Testament
Countdown to Looking Glass is my favorite, as it illustrates a possible chain of events that could touch off a nuclear conflict.
I think the Cold War kinda prepped me for these days we're facing. I know those feelings of dread. We're old friends, so to speak.
@TheLastOfHisName It just makes me too sad to watch such a realistic portrayal. One way or another, if it comes for us, it comes. I'll just wait.
@MargaretSefton@writing.exchange Love now. Be kind to others now. That's the best we can do.
@MargaretSefton
I watched this a few weeks back. Streuth. Great film in so many ways and I do not expect to rewatch it for a long time. It has been haunting me most days.
@wordsmith That's wild. What are the odds. Haunting is a good word for it. I have to leave it alone for now. 
@MargaretSefton that's about the Facebook version of Twitter?
@glauber Seems about right.
