Here's' a gift share from the Atlantic where the author reflects on how film intersects with difficult topics like Nuclear war. I thought it was worth sharing and II'd be interested in what others thought about how film can be a conduit to explore current events and difficult topics

There’s a ton of these but I can’t remember any now. There was one called monolith but I don’t think it’s about radiation, some kind of meteor.

They used to use radioactive tubes in tvs, the military had to scrap them all when they found out what it actually was. I have some 🤫

That’s why their vision is so bad.

I agree with how the article acknowledges that film is a way to carry on a cultural conversation about difficult topics. Where many modern blockbusters use these threats as plot points - they can be used to teach a lesson or share wisdom.

I feel like there’s a science behind making blockbusters movies now, where they can only touch on certain points. It’s like they use a certain template and I’ve noticed, even at similar timeframes.

They even change the name of real substances, whereas in these they actually talk about them scientifically, there’s a lot of farfetched what ifs.

Annihilation is dope btw, It’s more about spores but still cool. It’s more about the in betweens of time and space.

I don’t think it will ever be possible to travel to outer space, the moon is 1 light second away, that’s about 2 days on a current shuttle, light year? Nah, meteors travel through space for billions of years sometimes before they crash.

I need some good nuke movies tho, not fallout. Book of Eli was cool.

Oh and the train one, it was Snowpiercer
