response to the atomic cafe
Atomic Cafe was focused mainly on real old-time media and true interviews and film clips. ... Even the title, Atomic Cafe, is somewhat ironic. When one thinks of atomic war, fear is the initial emotion. On the other hand, a cafe is a place of relaxation, enjoyment, and social interaction. ... This may be a good way for the intended 1950s audience to become comfortable with the subject at hand but the director of Atomic Cafe used this clip as a humorously disdainful view for the modern audience to witness 1950s America and their views of the atomic bomb.
