On one of these commercials, Monica, from Touched by an Angel, says, if you don t care, turn off the television, don t call, and turn your back on helpless children that need you and can only be helped if you call right now. Universal themes are all around us, including in this play Julius Caesar ...

The movie had “emerged as the single biggest mobilizing point for the antinuclear movement…regarded as a two hour commercial for disarmament” (66). “The Day After” had inspired a nationwide debate about the horrors of nuclear war and how to increase awareness (66). On November 20, 1983 “The Day After” premiered on network television that had opened the controversy of a nuclear threat (“The Day After” 2). “Our twentieth century is the century of fear…” the movie states referring to almost unavoidable nuclear devastation (2).
