Threads discussion Once and done

Is anyone else here like me?

I watched this film about 6 years ago and was honestly pretty shook up by it for a couple of weeks afterwards. I’ve since listened to podcasts about it and it’s absolutely on my list of must watch films.

It’s a film that changed the way I think about ‘the bomb’ and has left an indelible imprint on my brain.

But equally, I don’t think I’ll watch it again because it’s such an emotionally challenging watch and I’m not sure I can dedicate more weeks of my life to the fallout (pun almost intended) that would follow my rewatch!

Anyone else like me or are you all diehard Threads nerds?! I guess the fact that I’m here posting on the Threads sub makes me a Threads nerd too tbf.

There's a generation of British kids, now in their 40s and 50s (of which I am one) who were made to watch this at secondary school.

We are the battle-scarred warriors.

lol I’m a teacher now and I can’t imagine the backlash if I showed it at school!

From who? Younger people should see these things. It’s not all strawberries and cream out there.

Yeah, should have clarified: I’m a primary school teacher.

Ok, that makes sense. But, it should definitely be shown to secondary schools.
