New on my classic movie list, my mom and I watched On the Beach last night. I'm not going to review it yet because [livejournal.com profile] ravengirl discussed seeing some of the same movies at the same time and reviewing them, but I was dubious about the starting premise that everyone was wiped off the face of the earth during a nuclear war except for one town in Australia and some men in a submarine. So I went online and found some sites that said yes, some people even in the Northern Hemisphere would survive a global nuclear war, although I sincerely hope that people never have to validate that assumption. Then I read about Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Then I went to sleep and dreamed about nuclear war all night. When I got up, I made my bed, but decided to lie down on top of it "for another five minutes" -- and slept for another three hours. I have to get cracking on a bunch of stuff to do today.

Don't get me wrong -- the movie is still sad even if you don't buy the main premise, and also, even if people survived a nuclear war, life as we know it would be over for a long, long time.
