If Christopher Nolan “Oppenheimer” taught us how the bomb came about, and then his brother showed us Jonathan Nolan What is the world like now after the bomb? However, “Fallout” depicts a fictional scenario that millions of fans of the video game series of the same name have known since 1997. First things first: you don't have to be a gaming expert to get into this series.
It begins on October 23, 2077. Or better: the world as we know it ends here. It was the day of the Great War, a nuclear war between the two superpowers, America and China. A small portion of humanity retreated to so-called radiation-protected vaults, and individual small-scale communities formed here. Some things were developed more technologically, but culturally we were stuck in the 1950s. Writer and director Nolan particularly likes to use this particular joke from the Fallout games, which provides an opportunity to satirize the nuclear beliefs of the time. For example, pop and country music are splattered with blood and dust in slow motion, making extreme violence, at least in one scene, more alienating and somewhat bearable.
