It's Groundhog Day today, and what is his prediction for the winter weather this year? Oh, wait, I live in Florida, I don't care. It's also the Super Bowl today which I am watching right now.
Speaking of the Big Game, I watched The War Game to review here. It's not about a game at all, but about the devastation and panic that comes from nuclear war. Sorry, but no matter hard hard you try, a bunch of sand bags piled up against your house, it is not going to help against a nuclear bomb.
The main concern is all the deaths, injuries, and illnesses that arise from these weapons. Also, there would be a lack of food and resources, and most of the land would be rendered useless by the radiation. Soon, the land will collapse into anarchy. The film is presented as if it's a real-life documentary, as if everything is really happening. Most of the film is all scare tactics, which makes me wonder, what is the purpose of this film? Simply to scare citizens? I don't know. It's fairly graphic for a film from the 1960's. What makes this film scary is the stark realism of everything that happens, there's no dramatization of anything. I will give this film a 6/10.
