A masterpiece!

Rating: 10/10 (30 November 2012)

Very few have wanted to tell a story about the Cold War and have managed to portray the fear and tension of the time ... the director Stanley Kubrick, presents his masterpiece Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb ( 1964), which takes place in those years and has become a jewel of cinema.
A U.S. general gives the order to detonate a nuclear bomb against the USSR ... that's the story told in a linear fashion and which offers a look at nuclear holocaust during the Cold War.
The story is about how man designs a machine that can cause a huge disaster breaks out, but here is a machine in the service of man, because throughout the film we see the characters face the fact that they created nuclear bomb but must make the decision more consistent and fair: exploit, and cause hundreds of people die, or remove it, and forget all the conflict between the two countries.
It is a thriller and black comedy, because it presents a serious social situation and mocks her in a way that ends up being ironic, cynical and sarcastic, but at the same time is an intelligent humor because it blackmails the hearing to be laugh, but most of his comedy is based on showing characters who try to be serious but make mistakes, not meant to be funny.
Finally becomes an irreverent political satire which has a good script, because all the time tells and shows something new, its end is logical and surprising, it is credible because it is according to what has been developed along film. It has excellent performances, especially by Peter Sellers, who plays three characters in the three papers and does a good job. It's a film that, despite the controversy that became the year in which it was released, has been viewed and reviewed over the years because, as mentioned earlier, is a masterpiece, a cinematic gem.
