weird - very weird

One thing is certain: Stanley Kubrick's mind works in interesting ways. Dr. Strangelove is one of the strangest movies I have seen. I understand that it is a satire on the concept of nuclear war, but the characters he creates are so bizarre, you wonder if the satire is more of nuclear war or the stupidity of the people who control the buttons. Maybe it's both.
As far as performances go, Peter Sellers is quite good (in all of his roles), and the coke machine scene is one for the ages. Some people love this movie. I guess it's worth seeing so you can tell people you've seen it. But I wouldn't see it more than once.
