When the Wind Blows

When the Wind Blows is an animated 1986 British disaster film. It tells the story of a naive retired British couple who survive a nuclear war in their remote rural home.

You can watch it online here, but I can't figure out how to embed the video in this blog post.

Here's a lyric excerpt from the soundtrack:

There's a full time reservation
Made in a bar at the railway station,
And there's a story, a kind of fable,
On a card at the corner table.
On it is a message; been there some time.
It starts of, "The coffee tasted so fine"
It says, "One day, this may find you,
These few words may remind you.
We sat here together just to pass time;
You said how the coffee tasted so fine.

Of course, after a while there's no water for coffee. Survivors of a nuclear war may well not be the lucky ones. When I finished watching this movie I was reminded of the film Grave of the Fireflies, only that one featured children while this one features an elderly couple.

And this film was from 1986 remember. It's not like we haven't had plenty of time to learn.
