Strikes an Emotional Nerve

Enthralling and entrancing, The Bomb combines archival nuclear test footage and Cold War propaganda films, set to modern electronic trip-hop by The Acid. The narration of traditional documentary is eschewed as the images are allowed to speak for themselves, unfiltered. The result strikes an awesome and terrifying emotional nerve, one that we have grown numb to in the wake of the Cold War, as one realizes the still present risk of a nuclear apocalypse through accident, proliferation, and escalation.

Moving and underrated

Wonderful ambient soundtrack contrasted by images of humanity's atomic chaos. Abstract, avant-garde and haunting, this film possibly says just as much through its evocative silences than adding narration could, leaving the viewer alone to ponder and soul search over many themes and ideas. Thoroughly gripping and enjoyable, refreshingly unique and experimental, "The Bomb" deserves much more acclaim than it seems to receive online. In a world where opinions are incessantly voiced, this work of art was a breath of fresh air.

A visual meditation of the implications of nuclear weapons

This is a great compilation of visual depictions of the power of the nuclear bomb, the outcomes of when it used to destroy life and archival footage about its use and destructiveness. Lest we forget the power of this weapon, this film serves as a cinematic reminder of the need to be responsible for what can destroy mankind in an instant should be it used carelessly, or if there is the need to ever use it all.

Few Additions...

I would've added at the end imagery of extremophile life: bacteria, tardigrades, insects, deep-sea volcanic vents. Then moved on to abandoned human places that nature has taken over, like the Pripyat region (Chernobyl incident).

Why? To show that life will go on even if humanity is stupid enough to erase itself from existence. We do not matter on such a scale, and nothing will cry for us after we are gone.

Also, would've liked to see death/injury rate on the animal testing.
