Title: Very Grim
Review: I saw this film for the first time recently and I think it is definitely more potently graphic than its American counterpart "The Day After". It is also much more pessimistic. In the American film, people were helping each other after the nuclear holocaust, but in this film, everyone is out for himself only. There is no compassion, empathy, caring or sharing - the U.K. turns immediately into a cruel, medieval, dog-eat-dog society. It is often difficult to find good things to say about humanity, but I don't believe all people will lose their hearts & souls over a nuclear war. There will always be some good people in this world- no matter what sort of calamity happens.This film features a nuclear exchange between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R after the latter moves into Iran. It was really sort of chilling to see Iran involved in this considering what is going on in Iran in 2006. Let's hope the makers of the film were not prescient on this matter!
