"Threads"

The name of the movie, "Threads," in my opion, it trasmits the threads of family generation realtionship and love realationship which represent through the main actress name "Ruth".
Ruth fall in love with her boyfreind before the war and she was pregnant during the War period which is danger for her baby but she try to protect her blood. Therefore, I think she is the good example to show the meaning of a word "Threads".

Images from the film "threads"

"A glass milk bottle quickly melting beneath the intense thermal radiation of a nuclear blast, a young woman forced to dine on freshly killed mutton, a burned and scarred man joylessly playing a handheld video game in an attempt to escape the horror around him, a huddled group of youths watching a damaged educational videotape years after the collapse of civilization, looters being apprehended and subjected to firing squads. This is a film that forces you to reconsider the comforts of this world that you are probably taking for granted."

cheers,

'Threads' clip

the most powerful moment in this scene, honestly, is when the woman covers her mouth and pisses her pants. Thats quite literally what most people would do, because we are animals and when such a dreadful, miserable terrifying death is about to befall not only you but the whole world you love, rationality..all things that make us human, cease to function, all you can do, is go into shock and piss your pants.

War is Over
