7th August, 2023.
I have to confess, I am knackered.
I’ve had an early start, this morning.
I’ve got my weigh management meeting, today, so want to get there in good time.
I was also up, late.
Watching the 1984 film, Threads*†.
I didn’t do my usual review: as I felt I hadn’t the time.
But?
Threads is one hell of a piece.
Whether it’s still relevant? I don’t know.
Today, we’re killing ourselves slowly with climate change: rather being five minutes away from death from a nuclear attack.
Did it — and dramas like When the Wind Blows, or The Day After — make any difference? Persuade governments not to drop the bomb?
I don’t know.
Is it worrying?
Yes.
This is still a powerful piece that deserves watching.
One I think my nephew Jude wouldn’t necessarily enjoy: we’ve discussed it.
Threads is blunt, powerful … and will give you nightmares, especially if you’re pregnant …
