Threads… ”they’ve done it!”
Discussion
Threads will be shown on BBC 4 on October 9th at 10:15. A film that terrified many & will likely do the same next month. It’s a tough watch & I vividly remember watching it at school in the 1980’s. I’m originally from Doncaster so not far from where the film is set. In fact the first explosion seen in the film is an attack on RAF Finningley which is only a few miles from my old house so it would’ve been over for me pretty quickly. The attack scene is brutal, dogs barking, kids crying & screaming & sirens.
It's a severely depressing film!
As an aside, I said to a friend recently they are ramping up the nuclear fiction (Oppenheimer) and now with Threads again, we are bang on in line for some made up nuclear scenario to be fed to us within the next year. These shows are put out for a reason, it's pure programming and propaganda.

Who's feeding us this narrative, and to what purpose?As an aside, I said to a friend recently they are ramping up the nuclear fiction (Oppenheimer) and now with Threads again, we are bang on in line for some made up nuclear scenario to be fed to us within the next year.

Being born in the 70's I was just the right age when this film was shown to be terrified of nuclear war for the rest of my childhood. Then, a few years later and just in case I was beginning to grow out of this 'phase of fear' and discover girls, they decided to launch the AIDS fear campaign as a double whammy!!
If Threads was a massive punch to the face, AIDS adverts were an awesome low punch to the belly.

"Who" is a big question, probably unanswerable. "What purpose" is very easy, fear and control. It worked brilliantly in the past, present and will in the future. Bookmark this thread, come back in a years time and let's reevaluate. There has never been verifiable nuclear event, yet we all are scared of it, over 3 generations. That's impressive psycholigical workGassing Station | TV, Film, Streaming & Radio | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
