What a dud...


I personally thought the movie was ridiculous in the way it dictated emotions to the viewer -- the sombre music, pretentious dialog and preposterous "diary entries" -- come on! This is one of the most manipulative (and inept at its own manipulativeness) movies ever made!

Dictated!?



Of course it did,the film was about a nuclear war through the eyes of a mother of a family and besides every film dictates emtion to some degree.

It's also a safe bet that if you are a parent and lose every single member of your family via a nuclear conflict you had no say in....you are going to feel very similer emtions to the woman in the film.

rysiek, you've lost your marbles! A wonderful film, and quite subtle at that.

Along with THE DAY AFTER and THREADS, one of the great anti-nuclear war pics.

There's more to movies than sex and explosions! Since this movie bored you, try watching some Bi-porn.

Somber music, dialog and such do not manipulate viewers who are getting into the characters-what they are feeling. You were obviously not doing that.
