Rhys R It's the greatest movie I've ever seen! I've been looking for a movie like this. In fact I've watched it 2 times already. So I would recommend this movie to others! Even though it is a little sad, but it is a legend of a movie! Defiantly a hall of fame movie and song for sure! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/25 Full Review Joseph C Honestly, it was okay. Not as good as Threads or the day after, but it was okay. The British accents make me laugh my ass off with how over the top they are especially the 'Get back here you stupid b**** and get in the shelter!' After that its depressing as one would expect Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/28/24 Full Review Audience Member This movie is as powerful as it is sad, with a clear message, "Stop wars before they begin". The animation is gorgeous with a timely and simple feel to it, and the characters are the embodiment of trust and generations of it. This movie begins with the scene of the military assembling, which is almost never good, and a song with seemingly upbeat lyrics that become darker as the song progresses, mirroring the movie. Then we meet the couple, an elderly pair with a strong bond, Hilda "Ducks" Bloggs, and Jim Bloggs. Jim has a strong sense of trust in his government and is seemingly stuck in "Old timey" war, unknowing that atomic war looms ahead, and is far worse. Both him and Ducks are strong believers of the government's power and in it's ability to help them. Although this movie is meant to portray the couple as incredibly naive, it's hard to believe that Jim, who is well versed and educated in war, is unbeknownst of the danger. Perhaps he didn't want to worry Ducks with the possibilities that awaited them. The bombing scene was incredibly hard hitting, seeing the peaceful countryside that was seen before being destroyed and ruined by the power of man. This movie was an amazing watch, even though I'm no critic, I would recommend this movie for anyone. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/24/24 Full Review Carlos I Devastating animated flick about an elderly couple trying to survive during the fallout of a nuclear attack. Their hope and optimism as they try to maneuver through their new reality, using archaic survival methods is both touching and gut -wrenching. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/13/24 Full Review Anderson O Another sad adaptation. When the wind blows start beatifully when their is Hope and optimism of the Allies teamed with England winning the WWII for this couple, and as the results of the effects of radiation Atomic Bomb dropping, their unity stays with them in their final days. When the wind blows is power story of love and perseverance through hard trials and the results of warfare if your country was affected. A unique must see for its time. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/07/24 Full Review Teddy B Raymond Brigg's masterful story is flawlessly adapted with the immortal voices of Peggy Ashcroft and John Mills. Beyond a great film; an absolutely essential watch in every sense of the word. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/09/24 Full Review Read all reviews
