	The War Game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the 1980s The War Game was followed by such films as The Day After (US TV film, 1983) and Threads (BBC, 1984), the latter of which particularly evoked Peter Watkins' style and delivery.
		The War Game itself finally saw television transmission in the United Kingdom on BBC2 on July 31, 1985, as part of a special season of programming entitled After the Bomb (which was also Watkins's original working title for The War Game).
		The transmission was preceded by an introduction from Ludovic Kennedy [1].

	War Game, The
		Announcing the decision to hold back The War Game in 1965, the BBC explained that the film was too horrifying for the medium of broadcasting, expressing a particular concern for "children, the very old or the unbalanced."
		The British television audience was deprived of The War Game for two decades, until a moment in history ironically close to the events in Eastern Europe which canceled the particular Cold War scenario which underpins the film.

	The War Game Revisited
		Watkins prepared for The War Game by interviewing scientists, civil defense workers, doctors, artists, and the media for their estimates on the probable effect of nuclear war in Britain and a few thoughts on the dense silence emitted from official quarters on this important matter.
		The War Game was deemed "too horrific for the medium of broadcasting" by the director general of the BBC.
		That the BBC finally aired The War Game in 1985 was due in large measure to the huge anti-nuclear movement of mid-decade, which in turn was engendered by the bloody-minded military policies of Thatcher/Reagan.

	The War Game (1965)
		Despite the government's attempt to educate people about how to survive a nuclear war, the English public remain woefully ignorant and most precautionary measures prove simply too expensive for the average family.
		After viewing by executives, its grimly realistic, no-holds-barred portrayal of nuclear war was deemed too shocking for public viewing and it was banned.
		The events are given an even darker underlining by contrast during the early scenes with US and even Vatican lecturers insisting that the war should be thought about positively.

		The BBC read the script of ‘The War Game’, reluctantly agreed to give me a budget, but warned that the film might not be completed.
		To this day, the BBC formally deny that the banning of ‘The War Game’ was due to pressure by the government, but a review of now available documents reveals that there was (is) much more to this affair than was admitted publicly.
		Following their decision to ban ‘The War Game’, and despite - or perhaps because of - growing public outcry, the BBC organized a series of private screenings at the British Film Institute’s National Film Theatre during a week in February, 1966.

	notcoming.com \| The War Game
		Filmed and edited in the spring and summer of 1965, The War Game was originally scheduled to air on the sixth of August, to coincide with the twentieth anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima.
		The War Game in particular is an aggressively dialectical film, both in its endless variety of visual narrational modes (jarring cuts from flat studio-bound talking heads or graphics to handheld, vérité camerawork, freeze-frames and offscreen narration during harrowing recreations of the nuclear attack and its fall-out) and in its constant shifting of time and place.
		The War Game is coercive and propagandistic, but it is not didactic and does not attempt to force a single point of view upon its viewer.

		Hitherto, it had been assumed that the US could not go to war in one of the two great zones of Middle East crisis - Iraq and the Gulf - before it had at least calmed things down in the other, older and more explosive one, Palestine.
		The road to war on Iraq no longer lay through peace in Palestine; peace in Palestine lay through war on Baghdad.
		It was all set forth, in its most comprehensive, well-nigh megalomaniac form, by Norman Podhoretz, the neo-cons' veteran intellectual luminary, in the September 2002 issue of his magazine, Commentary.

		Blending fiction and fact to create a moving and startling vision of the personal as well as the public consequences of such an attack, Watkins exposes the inadequacy of the nation's Civil Defense programme and questions the philosophy of the nuclear deterrent.
