For those who understand British humor

Rating: 3/10 (9 February 2011)

To me, "Dr. Strangelove" is a British comedy masquerading as an American movie. It's sexual innuendo, mockery of political and military leadership, and attempts to play tragic situations for laughs are all characteristics of British humor, as seen in this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_humour
I doubt that much of the American audience really understood the movie and that it was most appreciated by critics who were familiar with British humor. Also, the movie's politics could be described as anti-anti-Communist, showing anti-Commuists as just as dangerous, if not moreso, than Communists. God bless.
