War Game

Humans have keen yet instinctual psyche with catastrophe whether natural or man-made. War Game successfully executed a worst case scenario film if a nuclear war attack happened in the United Kingdom from the Soviet Union. After the rise and fall of World War I and II, the filmmakers decided to research the reels of horrific war scenes, bombings, scientists predictions, and other resources. As a result, they pooled together a realistic scene of melting tragedy. I love the unfolding after affects from the time of the attack, the people, law enforcements, starvation, slow deaths, to the chemical wastes. Statistics, temporary solutions, anger, political strife, and frustration are all involved into state of hopelessness and desperation. One must practice on seamlessly use transitions and affect effects at its film making advantage. One can study these in films for a lifetime.

I play scenes in my mind at times when attacks resulting within and on U.S. borders from landmarks or an earthquake/tsunami on the West Coast. We already witnessed major catastrophes and without denial; we will face more in our history. Unfortunately, there will be a rise and fall of U.S. due to the histories of civilizations. The best stretch of imagination into reality if someone could beautifully yet ironically write and produce a realistic scene of our own demise. This film is a prime example of true destruction. As others chosen the journalism field, Walter Cronkite became a war correspondent and reported in the field.

I watched An Inconvenient Truth a few years ago. The same format was presented as in this archive film on how we can destroy our environment whether by our inventions or political struggles. Either way, we are screwed just as we are meant to die at some point.
