Threads (BBC - 1984)

[J.T.B.]

When that movie played on PBS I thought my 15 year-old mind would be up to it, but it was not. As the bombing became imminent, one of the text information screens said one of the top priority targets was the steel industry. There was a steel plant just a few miles from my home. After the city was directly hit, I couldn't watch any more. I forced myself to turn back a couple of times, but what was going on was too disturbing and I had to stop. I have thought of watching it again over the years but never have.

The scene that takes place in the hospital being the worst of them all. I can't even look or listen to it, it's so horrific.
