Love da bomb!

Rating: 4/10 (14 November 2005)

'Doctor Strangelove' is considered one of Kubrick's best films, and it's been referenced in many other documentaries and films. The best thing about this film is its dark humor. The film centers around politicians in the eve of a nuclear holocaust. The comments by some of the characters about nuclear war is crazy -- it's so insane and stupid that you cannot help but to laugh at some of the comments (ie: 'precious bodily fluids'). Even watching the cowboy riding on top of the nuclear warhead as it plummets to the Earth is hilarious, in a dark and disturbing way.
Some people probably won't 'get' this humor or understand it. As a film, it really is not that great. It's a pretty good and different view of nuclear war, which was controversial (hence its popularity), but it isn't a great film. It's just different.
