Here is something fun to lighten up your Sunday. Celeste and I thought it was time for a movie that is lighthearted and fun, but also has foreshadowings of what’s happening now. Blast From the Past (1999) stars Brendan Frasier and Alicia Silverstone. It begins in 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Calvin has built a secret fallout shelter because he’s sure the Soviets or U.S. will begin a nuclear war. Helen, his pregnant wife, has no idea he’s done this. On the night of President Kennedy’s speech about the life threatening situation, Calvin and Helen urge their party guests to go home while they go down into the shelter. Just as they are about to close themselves in, a plane crashes into their house. Thinking the war has started, Calvin sets the locks to open again in 35 years. A day or two later, Adam is born. When the locks open Adam gets to go out into the world for the very first time. And what an adventure he has. This story is about humans who endure hardship, and bring a little civility back into the modern world.
