So, I was looking through the video store (Yes, we Aussies still have those), and I came across this movie "World War III". I had known it was a Franco-British cult classic on the right, so out of curiosity, I rented it. It was actually pretty decent, if overly right-wing. It basically follows the titular World War III in 1985 (the film was released in 1981), during different fronts in the war. I admit, the cause of the war is somewhat dubious to me. An incident in the Kongo leads to an ultra-left coup in the USSR, who decide to launch an attack on Western Europe (for some reason), and the UASR coming in to support them (again, for some reason). They decided not to drop any atomic bombs, because of the MAD doctrine. Despite the wonkiness of the premise, I did enjoy most of the film. It basically revolves around several fronts during this war. From a battleship in the Atlantic to a group of Brazilian soldiers fighting the CL, to, most prominently, a group of students at a college on the French-German border, who battle an assortment of Comintern soldiers as a partisan unit. It cuts between these different fronts, and emphasizes the various tactics they use during such a conflict. It ends, after the partisans unite local towns in the North of France, and repel the invasion with other partisans from Germany, and other fronts successfully repelling Comintern, with a brief nuclear exchange, where Birmingham in Britain, Minsk in the USSR, and Denver in the UASR are all destroyed by nuclear weapons, and a democratic counter-coup in the USSR and a new election brings in a new government in the UASR, both eventually suing for peace on the FBU's terms. Again, unabashedly right wing, but it does have some decent characterization, and does show how war has affected many of these people. Even the Comintern soldiers are portrayed sympathetically, showing some of them writing letters to their sweethearts or the like back home. So, has anyone else seen it? What do they think of it?
