Atomic Cafe

One thing I really enjoyed about this movie was the humor. I think it so effctively made fun of the mindsets of the people during this time period. All the preperations they made for an atomic war and especially that whole "Duck and Cover" routine were so hilarious simply because the people of the time took it so seriously while we stand here laughing the the madness of their actions. I also highly doubt that if a nuclear war ever did occur that the casualties would be very great and that we would not simply have "evacuation procedures" and that we would not be able to save our people if an atomic bomb ever landed. This movie also exposes how power hungry the human race is and how crazy we can get in desperate times. We went on a crazy rampage and kept creating atomic bombs to outnumber those of the russians and went as far as to create the hydrogen bomb. There is no purpose for these bombs for everyone is well aware that the usage of these bombs would mean the end of the world. The purpose of them is purely for show and I don't see the purpose in them. Instead of both countries bluffing with using the bombs they should just have come to an aggreement where the decide to cieze the building of the bombs and put it to a standstill.
