True. Watching that movie was a mistake. I just felt bad the entire time. Just felt like absolute ass. There is something to be said about art that just makes you feel awful the entire time.
I thought the picture Threads painted was silly at the later parts. After the nuclear war, the next generation loses grammar and ability to speak coherent sentences?
Just because it is gritty, doesn't mean it is realistic. WW1 and WW2 both managed to be horrifying in unanticipated ways.
IMO not. Large-enough scale nuclear war would indicate to me a colossal failure as a species. It might be best to leave behind the fellow apes for good.
...don't. This movie was horror on an existential level, and left me with a firm conviction that surviving a nuclear war would be the worst of all outcomes.
