Amoral Right.png

It might seem quaint that one should consider morality in a post-modern world, and even more so in the context of politics. Indeed, the post-modern sensibility suggests that morality, just like so many other things in that world view, is a relative concept. So pervasive is this concept of relativity, that today, it is not just radicals and progressives who embrace it, but even so called right-leaning conservatives. No longer does the “right” in America champion Christian virtue and morality, instead, many of them embrace a sort of isolationist hedonism, so barely divorced from their sworn enemies on the left as to make them practically brothers in arms. Without fail, this new conservatism will sunder beneath the pressing of reality, and any who adhere to its tenants must repent and embrace Christian virtue, lest they plummet to the depths with this despicable world view.

Doomed to rewind: Threads (1984)

My newest video entry to my movie review series takes a look at the seminal nuclear war drama, Threads, directed by Mick Jackson for the BBC. This movie is lauded as the most poignant and terrifying depiction of global nuclear conflict ever put to film. In my review, I discuss the effectiveness of its narrative, and I compare and contrast the film with its American counterpart, "The Day After".
