Threads (1984) –– the most realistic portrayal of war escalation, political lies, government incompetence and the lives of people just after nuclear fallout; what follows: radiation burn, ash, food shortage, vomit, rubble, slow-death and hopelessness. An anti-nuclear film.
The most disturbing consequence of such a tragic scenario is what unfolds at a soul level: the unchecked mortality of individuals without the functioning institution of an overarching government to inflict capital punishment, to enforce "civility" — everyone becomes their own masters, with no definition of depravity or immorality. There are no crimes, but brute power.
If such a scenario were to unfold in our current times, where the living generations are simply floating existentially over hollowed moral foundations, lost with self-centred thinking — debauched acts will reign supreme.
Abstract concepts of: fairness, justice, compassion, equality, safety — will only find meaning in the act of physiological survival. That's all these words will amount to.
