    Old cold war story

    Old cold war story about the BS the government tells people . They were frightening times that people today have no conception. Watch - enjoy the story- ignore the dated animation- think about it.

  • A Book Everyone Should Read

    I've always associated Raymond Briggs with children's books, until a friend suggested I read "When The Wind Blows". I'm so pleased I acted on the advice because it truly is a book that gives one food for thought. It's illustrated in graphics with speech bubbles making it an easy read. Set in the cold war era, the plot revolves around an elderly couple living in an isolated country cottage. Neither of them are academically bright, he's happy doing jobs around the house and tending his garden, whilst his wife happily runs the household. When news of war with Russia and the imminent threat of nuclear attack raises it's ugly head, they both think it's going to be the same as WWII and don't worry too much,, telling themselves they got through the last war and they'll get through this one too. ...

  • loved this flim!

    i recommend this DVD 'when the wind blows'. from start to finish it was not only a great animated film ' it was also very sad.

  • Still relevant!

    Very touching account of an old couple who naively believe the stuff upper lip of coping with ww2 will see them through nuclear war. Although it looks a bit dated due to its age, it's still a relevant issue today. A remake of this should be made for today's generation!
