The Atomic Cafe

I've never really been one for documentaries and non-fiction stories but this was manipulated in such a creative way, I almost forgot it was even a documentary. The end of the film really leaves a lasting impact on the viewer. I found it quite funny when the film flipped between the shots of what actually happens when a nuclear bomb goes off compared to the propaganda the government feeds to the public. The house that was shown by the government to the house that was blown apart really made the film's message clear. The shots of the people diving under desks and doing the "turtle" were fascinating to watch. They practiced it so much and did it so well... if only they wouldn't all die if the bomb actually went off...
