Am I the only one who finds the whole thing so terrifying that they can’t bring themselves to watch a movie that shows it as realistically as possible?
I’ve heard about it. I’m sure it’s excellent, but I can’t.
I used to be able to do it. I used to watch all kinds of post-nuke and nuclear war movies in the 80s and 90s. I read John Hersey’s Hiroshima more than once. But I can’t do it anymore. It’s just too scary.

I have nightmares about nuclear war.
Don’t watch Barefoot Gen.
To anyone else, watch Barefoot Gen.
The mangaka had personal experience, and it shows.

Yeah, no point watching if you can’t absorb it in a meaningful way.
I’m so desensitized it almost feels academic.
Maybe I’m a coward who emotionally deflect reality, as if watching a strange object.
At least you choose to either see reality in the eye or to deflect your gaze, perhaps a more honest approach.
Well, we do all this reflexively anyway. So there might not be much of a point to dwell on it, sorry for getting philosophical on you.
