Review of Command and Control (2016) by Jenna I — 20 Sep 2016
Harrowing documentary about all of the nukes that will inevitably destroy our country. What really struck me about this story of Damascus was the fact that this group of teenagers who were essentially in control of destroying the country at any given moment and were so prepared to press a button and destroy cities, fell apart and/or were scarred for life over their experience of seeing one or two friends die, and potentially having blown up their own cities.
It's telling about warfare and death in general, how easy it is to kill millions but hard to see one person die. Then there's also the faceless war-machine that won't even tell the Vice President what's happening.
... The whole incident just struck me as sad, all of these people seem stuck in time over this horrific event in their childhoods, and understandably so. The documentary itself is a fascinating look into a horrible event that could have been even worse.
Like being told the day you'll die by a psychic, you can't help but laugh and cry over what will most likely be our fate in the end.
