SE's movie recommendation

[Psalm7]

I couldn't find the thread We were talking about this on so I put it here . I followed the Old Britt's suggestion and looked this one up .

 

[jontte]

is it good?

 

[Psalm7]

I don't know yet . I just got it in the mail . Supposed to be a TEOTWAWKI movie made before all the popular ones .

Depends on what you mean by "good" jontte. It's not a movie that you want to watch more than once. It's certainly not a feel-good movie, but one that makes you squirm watching people having to make gut wrenching life and death decisions in a EOTWAWKI scenario. I can tell you it made a huge lasting impression on me.

 

[jontte]

Doc,if it did that it's a good movie.

 

[Psalm7]

Good , well directed, actors did good , good screen play flash fowards and flash backs . Good story .
It has some harsh scenes in it . If My Wife watches it I'll have to skip through a couple parts .
And What Dr said .

Its not a Gung ho hero kills bad guy type movie its much more gritty , hunger, desperation, migration, panic, violent reaction, state trying to cover up and play down the crisis. Its dated and of course being British and of the 70s the " good guys" are ALWAY middle class just like in the even better SURVIVORS by Terry Nation (1970s version)

No Blade of Grass ( Death of grass), Doomwatch, Terry Nations Survivors , The UK TV version of Day of the Triffids plus other one off Dramas produced for the BBC in the early 70s are what got me in part into survivalism.

I thought you started when you were in the army mate? or at least because of what you were told there.
