A Short Vision (1956) | BFI National Archive
Subscribe: http://bit.ly/subscribetotheBFI
This short animated film is Peter and Joan Foldes’ second and last film together. Its bleak subject – the end of the world caused by a nuclear apocalypse – reflects a widespread preoccupation in 50s Britain which would soon lead to the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND). The film is composed mostly of still drawings, creating a terrifying effect amplified by a sombre commentary spoken in the style of the Bible. The film had a very strong impact on audiences, in particular across the Atlantic, where it was shown on primetime television to millions of American viewers and reportedly produced one of the biggest reactions since Orson Welles’ ‘War of the Worlds’ broadcast in 1938. (Christophe Dupin)

Rated Z: No Coward Will Not be Adnitted
This can be hiroshima or nagasaki this bomb destroyed japan empire so they retreated
So…how many megatons was this weapon?
Well damn
Prepare for nuclear attack
Dropped from Enola, a city erased, threat of the future displayed
A power unheard of a power unseen
Flash out of nowhere, the sky is burning
At 8:16 AM Tokyo control realized something was wrong
Reports of explosions, destruction and pain
Air raid from hell city gone in a blaze
August in black, B-29s coming back
Prepare for nuclear attack
Warned but did not heed
Prepare for nuclear attack
Extermination
Strike back
Chose not to believe
Another nuclear attack
From the southeast came the second attack, threat of tomorrow unveiled
11:02 on the 9th of August
Over the valley, like ball lightning
The bomb detonates and the land turns to waste, barren for decades to come
The factories burning, the steelworks destroyed
Surrender your war else you’ll perish in flames
Second attack, B-29s turning back.
I will get nightmares of this
The flame depicts 666 at around 5:17. Most likely symbolism of a gross shortcoming and failure, also evil.
The music gives me chills especially the one at 2:16
me after I drop an atom splitting ratio:
The man melting away has always made me think of the face melted nazi in raiders of the lost ark! LOL. only thing is, his eyes didn’t explode.
Fear and death are panoramas of life and faith.
Sheesh. Here from instagram. Tough watch.
New Dark Souls trailer looking fire!
America is modern day Babylonia .aka demonic.
(do your research before u assume im wrong) Eagle represents zues btw aka jesus or satan. Greek gods/ roman gods are based off real life Nephilim pre-flood. Nephilim are fallen angels kids. Giants. God Ahayah flooded the Earth because they were destroying all life including themselves. Literal demonic monsters. Who also made dinosaurs they mixed reptilian and bird dna to make hybrids aka dinosaurs. A abomination to God. No God's creation. They did this just to piss him off. There demonic because of their seed of there fathers satan & his fallen angels.
(do your research before u assume im wrong)
All religions & holidays are pagun btw & demonic. They all worship satan & his fallen angels. No religion or holidays are in the bible. Its man made. And except Isreal gods chosen ppl. 12 tribes of Isreal. Joacbs 12 sons. Hebrew Israelites. Everybody but Isreal are gentiles aka satanist. Believe it or not. And Isreal are not in Isreal today their in & around America. The negros, Mexicans. Jamaicans, Cubans, Hawaiians & etc…. dark skinned ppl are God's Chosen ppl. Lose sheep of Isreal. Not african or black. Its Israelites. Dark skinned. Its Joacb vs esau. And esau are the Europeans. Aka romans, Ebomites. ✡️ Jews in eroupe are romans. The real Jews r in America the Hebrew Israelites.
■jews in Europe took our land and insalved us and made us forget our names and forced us to follow their religions & pagun gods aka Fallen angels. They forced black slaves demonic religion.
Demonic & satanic
Now i have become death, the destroyer of worlds.

a tell of US Nuclear bomb destroying everything ….
This shit made me hate that I'm a part of the human race!
The Hiroshima Bomb was dropped at 8:15 AM. The Nagasaki bomb was dropped somewhat around 11am. Is this video based on factual evidence? Cus I’m sure both bombs didn’t happened at midnight
No less than Hitler's Genocide of the Jews.
They got that goofy ahh 1999 Music
The US and partners in terror knew well how the bomb fire, made eyes explode and all life disappear, just because they did it twice in Japan.
when you roast your friends in a cod lobby:
Why was this important short given an X certificate in the UK for Adults Only ( no one under 16 admitted ) How educational it could have been for 14 to 15 year olds in 1956!!! And the censors gave ' On the Beach ' ( really disturbing ) with an A certificate ( children admitted with adults. )
That goofy ahh music tho
This is like a warning what will happen when the aliens stop the experiment with us
“When it flew over the mountains, the leopard looked up, and the dear darted free from the tearing claws, and they both hid in fear. When it flew over the fields, the owl looked up, and the rat ran free from the clutching claws, and they both hid in fear.”
That's what this part is reminding me of an upcoming video I'm making.! (at 3:45)
this is nightmare fuel
Amazing, yet I'm quite happy I didn't see this as a kid. Nightmares would have been intense.
