"When the wind blows"
« on: June 05, 2011, 10:18:15 PM »
Anybody remember this animated movie? It's about an old English couple who survive a nuclear bomb attack, but then (in complete ignorance) slowly succumb to radiation poisoning.
I don't even know how I ended up thinking about this movie, but it's truly excellent and wanted to see who else knows it.

Yep, Iron Maiden wrote a song about it on their last album (When the Wild Wind Blows), but the storyline is slightly different in the song.

I haven't watched the movie myself.

Never heard of it, but it sounds depressing as hell.

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

I take it that this isn't a Disney film then?

It is!

It's one of the scariest and most depressing things I've ever watched.

Definitely not a second-date movie. Unless it's a "shit, how do I get out of this?!" date.
