Dr. Strangelove

Rating: 6/10 (15 December 2009)

I thought that this was a very funny and ironic movie. And yet there was really a scary underside to it, especially in the time it was released. The best part yet was that of George C. Scott who I had only seen as Patton and Scrooge. He played a great comic part, but very straight faced. I liked how it had a sort of pseudo documentary feel, especially with the soldiers in the aircraft and the them music of the Halls of Montezuma played every time they were in the plane. It was ironic that the war room was shaped like a mushroom cloud. Although at times I thought the movie slowed down a little too much and took too long to get to the story. I loved the alternative title!
