Strange and disturbing

Rating: 5/10 (25 May 2004)

One of the most interesting and disturbing movies of all time is Dr. Strangelove. Playing off the paranoia of the Americans and Soviets during the cold war this movie takes it to extremes. A crazed military general launches a nuclear bomb and no one else knows the password to stop it! If that bomb reaches the soviet union the world will self destruct. This is a very serious problem to the only three men who can stop the bomb and they are all played by the same man. Although the plot is very interesting, the froidian inuendos of the movie are quite disturbing. The crazed general is positive that the soviets are out to destroy the Americans by clorination. Then the general constantly smokes a cigar, while others smoke cigarettes. (Obviously obsessed with size) Then when a bomb is dropped a man is facing the camera with it inbetween his legs. This goes along with the concept of Froid that sex is a drive to every part of life. Overall I would not rate this movie very high...I will give it a 4 out of 10
