On September 11th, I thought it would be appropriate to share with you one of the movies from my brain vault.

This is a hard one.

Based on Raymond Briggs’ novel (Briggs of The Snowman and Father Christmas), the movie turns immediately animated in the same style as the Snowman, and deals with everyday Jim and everyday Hilda in everyday rural England dealing with everyday….nuclear war.

Not quite as everyday as expected.

I will tell you right now, this movie is not a children’s movie. It is an animated movie showing two adults living through a nuclear bomb drop on rural England. It’s heartbreaking. I always get that horrible lump in my throat. You know the one.

Even still, I recommend you see this movie. I wish that everyone would be required to see this. It is hard, but beautiful. This movie makes my heart hurt. But then again, good movies do.

Please make time to watch this.
