a new European review

Rating: 10/10 (7 December 2007)

OK. I saw this movie ten- twelve times in my life. I bought maybe four or five copies in my almost 30-years-old life, because I used to borrow this movie often, to friends or to some girls that I thought they were interested to Kubrick. every time I spended my money good, and I am coming from an Italian region known for its "difficult to spend money" a kinda of Scottish-Italian situation. but I think that even the worst money keeper in the world could not resist to buy a copy of this movie. black and white, Peter Sellers covering three parts, doc Strangelove, the President of USA and an English soldier with honor and truth. the atomic bomb is the excuse to make a movie, a funny movie, a quote of brothers Marx lifestyle, everything, even the worst word in the world, war, is a joke. the movie before the release, was based on a non-funny book. but Kubrick is our father and brother, he did never hide is feeling, and I agree with him when fools generals and lieutenant over, stupid people with dangerous toys. this movie is pure entertainment, and is talking about human being, a kind of fortune teller that knew already the power of destruction that live in our mind. peace on earth use to write the general Ripper, played by that extraordinary actor who worked even in The Killing of Kubrick.there was an extraordinary noir, but strangelove is more than a movie. Is the voices of a director that did understand in the past how we stopped to learn and love the bomb. this one is one of that movie that I am gonna bring with me when I will live on a desert island
