Watched Threads over several nights this week. My God, how awful. I don’t think I’ve even seen anything so bleak in my life. Just watching it and not having anyone to hope for get invested in because you just know they don’t have a chance. If it ever comes to this, I think I’d rather die in the blast than face that future.

Really well made and probably one of the most impactful pieces of film I’ve ever seen.

I wrote some haikus in response…

---

Nothing left to hope,

No passion for those in need,

Only pause then death.

---

That this thing happens,

As the humdrum life goes on,

Staggers all that see.

---

The cloud rises up,

A herald of our sad end,

Envy for the dead.

---

Caught up in fire,

Supine humanity’s end,

Tragedy for all.

---

Cheers for reading, have a cheery weekend.
