Tapology Talks: Movies

I went back all the way to the 20th page and didn't see anyone who started a thread about movies. If there is one, just let this thread sink away into the abyss of thread history, but if not, this is something we can talk about. We've got one for every sport, music, and TV shows. So I figured might as well.

This movie will stick with you forever.  The realism isn't just something you can brush off.

How did you get to know Threads?

I think I stumbled across a video essay on it on yt, and obviously that got me really interested. actually watching it for myself, it was everything I thought it would be and more. I honestly think Threads is a whole different beast because, in my opinion, it makes even the most harrowing movies, Come and See for example, seem innocent. it's just so unapologetically bleak and honest, and that's why I hold it in such high regard 

working class hardship ...

inner city pressure

the betrayal of normal life  

prepare for the worst 

acceptance of the innevitable

Good description.

Testament is also a good one.  It is more about drama, though.

I also enjoyed Miracle Mile.  That's good for a one time viewing.
