What Is The Best Film You Never Want To See Again?

17. If The Day After, a weak hollywoodization that fell very far short

of depicting what a major nuclear war would inflict on the world, had that big an effect on Reagan, I have two reactions.

One. His conception of and whole frame of reference for the world was more rooted in the unreality, the thin artifice of movies than we knew. And we knew at the time it was bad.

And two. Too bad Reagan didn't see Threads, then. If The Day After affected him that much, Threads would have had us living in a nuclear weapons-free world by 1988.
