    I had a chemistry/physics teacher in high school who was once an officer in the Air Force. Ask him one question about that time of his life and we would escape any lesson he had planned for the day because he loved to share his experiences in the military. One story that stuck with me, and he told this one a couple of years after The Day After was released...he was allowed to witness a nuclear bomb detonation test once. After being trained to wear the goggles, plus a face covering, inside a concrete bunker with just a small window to look out of, they were instructed to face the opposite direction of the blast. He took it one step further and placed his hand over the multiple layers of eye protection he already had on. He said the flash from the detonation was so bright...for a very brief second he could see the bones inside his hand!!

      @lockman004 2 года назад +57

      I had a former coworker tell me that he was in a fox hole / trench assigned to watch a nuclear bomb detonation from a "safe" distance. He said even with all the protective gear and his eyes shut he could see the skeleton of the man standing next to him. Sadly he eventually passed away from cancer but it's impossible to know if it was related to his exposure to radioactivity in the military.

The government itself even said that’s what it would look like: a blinding light, a flesh charring fire, THEN the actual blast would hit and turn you to ash. The ONLY inaccuracy was Sarah’s skeleton still intact for dramatic effect; her bones would be as good as gone too

      That's not even touching on the fact that the nuke looks fake as shit, and is ridiculously small for even the first nukes made. They, and everything else around should have been instantly vaporized, with no chance to "run" from anything.

      Dan Kelly if you're protected from, or far away not to be injured by the blast, you're safe from the prompt gamma emission. For anything above 3kt, the 5psi blast radius (enough to crush civilian building, and definetly kill anyone in the open) the distance at which you'll be killed from prompt neutron and gammas is less. So will all currently stockpiled weapons, prompt gammas and neutrons aren't a problem, unless you're in a tank or something.. In a tank, you'll survive over 10 psi, but the neutron flux will get you.

    • @alexphillips4663
      @alexphillips4663 8 лет назад +14

      Absolutely. I watched it when it was first aired on TV, and the chills still get me when I see it today. The scene where the woman in a rural Nebraska home is tidying the house in preparation for wedding guests' arrival when a bright glow comes through the window, and the audience can see that a missile is launching from its underground silo... she sees it and furiously increases her effort to make the bed. Her husband comes in and tells her they have to get to the shelter, but she pushes him away without saying a word... He attempts to grab her but she starts pounding on his chest, and he again tells her they have to go, now.
      She sobs and screams at the same time.
      I may have gotten some of this wrong as it is coming straight from my memory... but just the thought of it. It's a nice day; the weather is fine, everyone is healthy, just a normal, pleasant day... and every one of them knows it's all over. Done. They are all dead, essentially, and that's if they're the lucky ones that got to die quickly. All the hope that the powers that be would turn this around and not push the button are things of the past; mutually assured destruction is now a fact. Once those missiles they saw went up, it was over.
      Everything they grew up with, the country and culture they were a part of, all of the things that occupy our day-to-day lives like work, watching TV, and having weddings... it's all gone, even while everything still looks exactly the same as it ever was (now that the ICBM has faded from view).
      That, for me, was the most horrifying part of the movie-- watching the American missiles go up, knowing that all hope is lost and everyone's fate is sealed. More so than watching the detonation of the Soviet weapons (though that was a close second).
      I've never really been one to be scared by movies. The usual ones that everyone mentions as being the most scary (Exorcist, Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street, Alien, Children of the Corn, etc.) never did it for me... entertaining, at times, but not enough to really cause much of an emotional reaction. I was always too aware that it was a movie to feel anything myself.
      The Day After was different. It was fiction, of course, but it could have been real, in a way that none of the other movies could. Even though the Cold War is over now, thus putting TDA more into the group of can't happen movies (though nuclear war can still happen; it just won't be as portrayed), I still remember when the Cold War was real, so it will always be real to me.
      I wonder if a younger person who only knows about the Cold War from class in school would react the same way to this movie as those of us who lived it.

      I saw Threads once on You Tube before it became unavailable. Also commendable about Threads is it made the government out to be the (even more) brutal thing it actually would become.

      Jack M I disagree. Terminator 2's ending was perfect. It left things ambiguous and hopeful that the protagonists efforts had averted Judgement Day. The open ended nature of it allowed viewers to use their imagination and interpret their own fate of the human race.
      Then Terminator 3 came along and dick slapped us with a shitty and frankly insulting ending where humanity was boned anyway which only left it open to two more horrifyingly bad sequels.
      Terminator 3 can suck my taint! As far as I'm concerned, every movie after 2 aren't canon and are just shitty cash grabs made by directors with the mental intelligence of bad fanfic writers.

    "Threads" is one of the most disturbing films I have ever seen. Far worse than "The Day After". It too depicts life generations after the blast and is as grim as you might imagine. No electric, no water, no food supplies, everyone fending for themselves, having to grow food themselves on eradiated fields once looting takes anything left, as the children being born suffer from horrible mutations. It really makes you realise how much you take your mundane life for granted, and that just being able to walk into a supermarket to get whatever you want can be taken away in the blink of an eye if society collapses.

    The Day After, some of the footage was real.
    As part of my training as a 15E, Pershing Missile Crewman, I watched a short film entitled Effects Of A Nuclear Explosion. (Or something similar, it's been a while) The military built a town from various materials to see what type of buildings would hold up best when hit by the shock wave/hurricane force winds generated by a nuclear explosion. (forget it) I needed a security clearance and a PRP (Personnel Reliability Program) clearance to watch the film. I was definitely surprised to see parts of it on TV a few years later.

It was the an industrial centre (British steel) with Royal Air Force base in the region. It will show the build up and escalation of tension between the US and The Soviets with Great Britain sandwiched in the middle. It will show graffic scenes of devastation during and after the initial attack but unlike T. D.A . It will explore life 10 plus years later, post nuclear Britain .

Also some of the people killed in that movie where several miles away from blasts that weren't even that big, I know for a fact that is fake because I've seen the test footage with the soldiers in it and those guys were at least within a few miles of the blast area and none of them instantly evaporated.

      The mushroom clouds were created by injecting colored oil plumes into a tank of water (which accounts for the fact that the clouds are dark red, rather than a more realistic hue). The footage of the missiles being prepared for launch was real, but the people in charge of America's nuclear arsenal felt that real footage of an American nuclear explosion (implying detonation on Russian soil as a potential first strike) would be seen as upsetting the Russians (who were very much on edge in 1983). Also having the Russians strike first was great propaganda material.

    Threads! Still the scariest film ever, thanks mostly to a brilliantly believable script. "Jesus Christ, they've done it..."

    Terminator 2 was and still is regarded as the most accurate representation of The Bomb on film. If it isn't number one, that is a huge fail.

    • @slyguythreeonetwonine3172
      @slyguythreeonetwonine3172 6 лет назад +14

      The Book "The Sum of All Fears" has an entire chapter that details the process The Bomb undergoes during detonation. Plus a scene where first responders enter the scene and see the bodies still sitting in their seats. Good movie, great book, even better franchise, atleast as far as the books go.

      Wouldn't they have died within seconds being that close to the bomb rather than burning to death?

    • @swampwitch6133
      @swampwitch6133 6 лет назад +11

      If close enough to the blast yes they would be vaporized, they would actually be fortunate in the fact they wouldn't feel anything unlike those further from the blast radius that would be burnt and exposed to the radiation making for a slow painful death.

    One of the best Nuclear Attack films has to be When the Wind Blows, based on the comic book by Raymond Briggs the author that brought us The Snowman, it tells the story of pensioners James and Hilda Bloggs attempting to survive in rural Britain...definitely worth watching.

    "When The Wind Blows"
    It's a tragically realistic cartoon story which was meant to highlight the totally unrealistic and unhelpful advice which was being given out in civil nuclear defense leaflets at the time, and how people would almost certainly die if they followed just that advice... without even knowing why they were dying.
    Among the worst failure would be not mentioning that any rain which fell not long after an atomic bomb attack would almost certainly be laced with highly radioactive material from the fallout.

      I've often thought that the best place to be, in a city targeted by nukes, is at ground zero! It's over, quick, fast, and, compared to the "survivors" relatively painless. One brief flash of light and pain, and, it's all over, at least, for you!

    I remember "The Day After" vividly. At work the next day everyone was strangely silent. People talked about it quietly, if at all. I recall looking out my window after the airing, looking for reassurance that the world was still there. Today's generation, raised on multiple forms of media, has no idea of the scope of an event universally watched. It literally changed history. Nuclear disarmament started right after. Today's arsenals are a fraction of what they were then.
