You're quite good at turning me on.

Threads (1984)

The movie is about the prelude, enough to care about the characters, then aftermath of a small city in the UK after the Cold War turned hot and the uk was hit by nuclear bombs.

The ending is a woman in the post fallout countryside giving birth to a stillborn irradiated baby and then wailing into the camera as the movie ends.

Just a completely depressing movie about a still very on the table potential future.

Edit: I think that the baby was also the result of a rape

The lesson I took from this movie was that if nuclear war breaks out, the best situation to be in is to get instantly vaporized

Credit where it's due but Gallo went back and re-edited it making it a better film and Ebert acknowledged that.

Was the blowjob scene left in?

The best movie I've seen that I can't recommend to anyone is Lars von Trier's Antichrist. I gave it a watch without knowing anything about it because I was interested to see what came next after Dogme 95.

Compelling, beautiful, and a completely misanthropic shot of pure, hopeless depression for me. I'll never watch it again, and I think about watching it again at least once a month.

I didn't need to see it, and I don't think it did me much good either. It's a long stint of therapy with zero catharsis, and I'd already reached that conclusion about my own trauma. I've considered recommending it to people on the basis of it being a fantastic representation of the deepest, darkest state of mind I've experienced, but I don't want to hurt people like that either.

It's incredible, I learned nothing, I felt awful for at least 6 months after watching it, don't watch it, please. And at least not based on anything I've said about it.

The only time I've rewatched Antichrist was on election night 2020 because I figured it would give me less anxiety.
