Lesson In Life For starters let me say every review here is correct. This movie will keep you up at night, not like Freddy or Jason, but out of fear & depression. I seen this movie 2 years ago & I own it on DVD, but this is a "view it once & you will never forget it" movie. This movie needs to be played at house of congress, every fast talking politician, president, needs to see this movie I think. I know this movie scared the crap out of me & I'm 38 years old. I too grew up in the 80's with a fear of nuclear war & I seen The Day After, let me tell you, Threads makes The Day After look like a Disney toon. I am American & live in USA & the same way this is in Uk, this can happen here, location don't mean a thing when you got big war hungry people in office & people who think using nukes would benefit the current cause. I for one, hope this will never be a reality, but if it is I hope I go fast, I hate to think of eating rats lol.
