The film is so sad. The opening theme just makes you feel everything more. The song ends like “no matter what”. In a nuclear war nobody survives. No matter what we’ll all die if it happens. He captured it perfectly. Us humans can be terrifying on our inventions.
R.I.P. Raymond Briggs... Thank you for being a part of my life growing up with such great stories as When The Wind Blows which I read or watched. This classic, powerful yet touching animation, featuring the late. great John Mills and Peggy Ashcroft, is so overlooked on TV. It may not be the cheeriest of his work, such as The Snowman or Father Christmas (which will always bring happy memories of my Mom's smiley face watching them with her), but it certainly is my favourite. ❤ xxxxxxxxxx
So long child, I'm on my way And after all is done, after all is done Don't be down, it's all in the past Though you may be afraid So long child, it's awful dark And I've never felt the sun I dread to think of when When the wind blows When the wind blows When the wind blows When the wind blows Life burns a savage wound, angry and wrong Trusting a twisted word, you'll run, run away You'll take him home You'll spit and taunt him But they won't believe you No matter what you'll say So long child, it's awful dark I never felt the sun I dread to think of when When the wind blows When the wind blows When the wind blows When the wind blows
I'VE KNOW THE LYRICS FOR YEARS WATCHED THE MOVIE WHEN I WAS A CHILD RIP JOHN MILLS PEGGY ASHCROFT AND DAVID BOWIE ❤️🦋🌈 ALL THERE LEGENDS I LOVE THE WAY RAY BRIGGS MADE THIS ANIMATED FILM SO SAD TO SEE THE LOVELY PEOPLE NOT UNDERSTANDING AND THINKING A CUP OF TEA WAS ALL FINE BLESS THEM ❤️❤️🦋🦋🌈🌈
I REMEMBER WATCHING THIS WHEN I WAS A CHILD AND IT'S ALL COMING TRUE I ALWAYS WONDERED WHAT WHEN THE WIND BLOWS MEANT I NOW KNOW RIP DAVID BOWIE ❤️🦋🌈 SLEEP WELL 🌈🦋❤️
nooo, russia wouldent dare throw a nuclear missile anwhere but in he 1980s it was a real threat. there is a british film they filmed and were going to show in the event of a nuclear missile being aimed a england called proect and survive also wach a british film called threads about a nuclear blast aimed at leeds.
Used to watch this with my granny , about 8-11 , understood it at the time but not fully, nothing has changed really, the government could give these directions tomorrow and 99% would follow them and melt with the masses, still a great film 🎥
@@salemcrow5078 yeah 👍 and I doubt it would be one nuke these days the retaliation button would be getting hit in response so there would be no hiding place from them

R.I.P Raymond Briggs. This story brought me into something I'm interested in and learning about, nuclear war and the world wars. Because of this story scaring the heck out of me I know what do if I get caught in the explosion or what to do.
I'm not afraid, it's what we grew up with? Get a door and build a shelter so their are no body's in the streets? Lied to then lied to now, nothings changed
@@rjjcms1 It's better than that, normally sirens are wailing across town *_over 30 minutes_* beforehand if I am generous and phone up the emergency services. They are very swift and all roads are closed off before the fart takes place. Sometimes I just don't bother phoning them up, though, and all hell breaks loose!
But what is with the Americans bombs, or them of France or britains, there from Pakistan, India and China, oh and North Cordanzuges bombs, there have them too and no logic thought state would give his nukes one other or destroy them all

Wait he died? Jesus Christ i didn't even know
@@TheAllSeeingEye2468 Sadly yes,a few months ago. RIP Raymond Briggs - and David Bowie.
Ethel & Ernest is another gem if you haven't seen it......
David Bowie: more powerful than the greatest possible blast yield. RIP
an almost forgotten Bowie masterpiece
So long child, I'm on my way
And after all is done, after all is done
Don't be down, it's all in the past
Though you may be afraid
So long child, it's awful dark
And I've never felt the sun
I dread to think of when
When the wind blows
When the wind blows
When the wind blows
When the wind blows
Life burns a savage wound, angry and wrong
Trusting a twisted word, you'll run, run away
You'll take him home
You'll spit and taunt him
But they won't believe you
No matter what you'll say
So long child, it's awful dark
I never felt the sun
I dread to think of when
When the wind blows
When the wind blows
When the wind blows

Isn't it "spin a tall tale" rather than "spit and taunt him"?
Watching this movie, should be something for politicians...and to feel it
WE all know they care,why would they, we'll never know the real truth, and I honestly think they don't know either
I saw this film back then, absolutely worth seeing, the title song by David, another masterpiece

@@dealgood aimed at Sheffield
@@dealgoodThreads was the film. It was about a nuclear attack hitting Sheffield and it came out in about 1984.
Bombs are expensive.
@@rjjcms1 The economic fall out of the eighties did them all in anyway.
😂
I miss my Sheffield family.
"Pull my finger "

Honestly, what really would there be to do? Whether you followed them or not, if the missile goes off, your fate is almost all but sealed.
@@salemcrow5078 yeah 👍 and I doubt it would be one nuke these days the retaliation button would be getting hit in response so there would be no hiding place from them
0:37 ✊😔 I play this song in the memory of my late great-grandmother. May God grant her a place in Heaven
The nuke must've also melted the boy's snowman.
please don't tell me those two are interconnected...
Dark 😂
😂😂😂
We'll meet again, dont know where, don't know when, but i know we'll meet again, some sunny day.
R.I.P Raymond Briggs
2022, and again we are afraid of it. (ger)
I wonder if it ever went away.
True
We'll always be afraid of it although in hindsight, leaders on both sides were more sensible back then.
The world could use a reset, imho
The technology could never be uninvented,unfortunately.
Lyrics:
So long child, I'm on my way
And after all is done, after all is done
Don't be down, it's all in the past
Though you may be afraid
So long child, it's awful dark
And I've never felt the sun
I daren't to think of when
When the wind blows
When the wind blows
When the wind blows
When the wind blows
Life burns a savage wound, angry and wrong
Trusting a twisted word, you'll run, run away
You'll take him home
You'll spit and taunt him
But they won't believe you
No matter what you'll say
So long child, it's awful dark
I never felt the sun
I daren't to think of when
When the wind blows
When the wind blows
When the wind blows
When the wind blows
Thank you very much for including the lyrics here for us! ☺

There is a David Bowie look alike who does a tribute show every week in a bar near me and never sings this.
Have you put a request (if you can) for him to sign this?
This song feels kinda upbeat for a movie like this.
This is one powerful movie and powerful song
Fantastic song and great to see a HQ version of the video.
This movie is super hard to find…

Thanks for uploading this masterpiece.
Nice and sad movie
Love bowie. He was at the introduction of "The Snowman" too
The cake will be burnt has a whole darker meaning now 😔
One of the saddest animated features made. Joins films such as Grave of the Fireflies, Barefoot Gen, and Plague Dogs.
As a Clone Trooper, thanks. Qui Gon Jin and Count Duku the Jedi Diplomats, sent Mr here.
Me not mr.
I'm not afraid, it's what we grew up with? Get a door and build a shelter so their are no body's in the streets? Lied to then lied to now, nothings changed

😭😭😭😭
The cake was burnt
🙏🏻🎶🎼💔
It probably wasn't the best idea for me to watch this movie and threads in the same day
The wind blows whenever I eat a load of lentils, beans and brussel sprouts!
Does it come with a four minute warning?
@@rjjcms1 It's better than that, normally sirens are wailing across town *_over 30 minutes_* beforehand if I am generous and phone up the emergency services.

Im ever when the Wind Blow
📻🎶
I'm not a fan of David Bowie, and I'm not even crazy about this song, but it worked well for the intro of this movie.
i like this video. ukraine has the chance to make it! to end what has to end!
But what is with the Americans bombs, or them of France or britains, there from Pakistan, India and China, oh and North Cordanzuges bombs, there have them too and no logic thought state would give his nukes one other or destroy them all
2023 Germany
Actually is more likely 2022 Russia since they started the War in Ukraine over a year ago.
AND THEN CAME MR. PUTIN...
I see why they casted bowie in zoolander he makes music scary and beautiful like Jack stabur
I thought this song would be more slow and somber. Huh, guess not then.
Capitulate the audience whilst nuclear missile exercise
😭😭 wie der Blödsinn duck and cover
Least tense cold war propaganda :
Propaganda for what country?
THIS and Two Tribes ...
So long child, I'm on my way
And after all is done, after all is done
Don't be down, it's all in the past
Though you may be afraid
So long child, it's awful dark
And I've never felt the sun
I daren't to think of when
When the wind blows
When the wind blows
When the wind blows
When the wind blows
Life burns a savage wound, angry and wrong
Trusting a twisted word, you'll run, run away
You'll take him home
You'll spit and taunt him
But they won't believe you
No matter what you'll say
So long child, it's awful dark
I never felt the sun
I daren't to think of when
When the wind blows
When the wind blows
When the wind blows
When the wind blows
