This was amazing! There wasn't a single thing that could've made this film any better. I just wish, maybe in a few years, perhaps they could dub it into english, as the subtitles often distracted me from the great visuals, or sometimes the visuals would distract me from the subtitles. I plan to give it a second veiwing, so I can focus on just the visuals. I'm still blown away.
"Somebody told me when the bomb hits, everybody in a two mile radius will be instantly sublimated, but if you lay face down on the ground for some time, avoiding the residual ripples of heat, you might survive, permanently fucked up and twisted like you're always underwater refracted.
