Excellent movie. You don't see many anthology films recently. |

2nd episode was great the Russians come to terms with how serious the accident Very well done Real heroes risking there lives. One scene was eerie , at the hospital, they gathered all the firemen's clothes and dumped them in the basement They are still there to this day and it remains one on the most radioactive areas in the abandoned city.

| Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25011 | I was right about Ricky Jay looking like crap in Sneaky Pete. He died when it was half done and they had to write around him. He looked really awful. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

30min in. I think I discovered a new human emotion. You should watch the documentaries. Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |

Suicidal boredom? I haven't seen it yet, it's no good? From the reviews: It's boring - at no time does the viewer get involved, there never is a sense of danger or even urgency, just a cartoonish slide show of one of the most tragic events in recent history . Great production is absolutely destroyed by absurd behavior of most characters They're all British. This was an incident in the Ukraine. Why is everyone acting like they're in Britain? It pushes the show into absurdity. The script is mostly made up and a distortion of an important part of history, I have to warn people not to take this seriously. Absurd that they made everyone have a British accent. Ruined it for me. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

These people are dips#$%s. Pretty sure no English was spoken during the incident, either, but here we are. WGAS? It's s#$% in that all dramatic adaptations of reality are s#$%, so there's that. The Soviets are definitely a caricature that veers into absurdity, stuff like that. But I've seen probably every doc on this subject that's been made. Read bits here and there. Having a picture to go with all those words, even if dramatized and not based entirely on fact, just does something. I'm not watching a show, I'm watching a representation of real horrors that beggar my own belief. Never has something made me cover my face out of (fear?), but I just did it for an hour straight. Don't even want to breath in the photons that illuminated the fake image of that ash and dust. My reaction is very much based on the incident rather than the film. People f#$%ing melted, man. I vaguely remember reading quotes from a man who had been inside, speaking about one of his guys than went into the core to shut it down and save that corner of the world. I think my brain purged it; I can't remember a word, only that it was haunting on a level I couldn't handle. Ep 2 is on now. I can't type and cover my face at the same time. Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |

| petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | Compare how the Russians handled Chernobyl to how the Japanese have not dealt with Fukushima. The Japanese are handling that disaster like Hillary handled losing the election. lol I don't believe they have even located the core of three reactors. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2019/03/07/national/eight-years-triple-meltdown-fukushima-no-1s-water-woes-slow-recede/#.XNzd3I5KjIU The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury.
