Being the adventures of an idiot in the war room...

Rating: 10/10 (9 December 2009)

Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room......is one of my favorite lines from this film. And there are many great other lines in it as well. I have seen Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb many times over the past years and it never gets old or: I have seen every Kubrick film many times over the past years and they never get old.
I feel that his films all go together, with his amazing style of film making, they all seem very similar. In Dr. Strangelove, he seems to really focus on the fact that it is in black and white. Setting up the lights just right to cause amazingly intense shadows. The way the light and dark is used against the actors faces, simply beautiful.
The fact that this is the only comedy he made is fitting. Who wants another drab dry drama about the cold war? Not Stanley, and he did it just right, mixing black comedy with the days global issues..how else could you get away with it.
I know I will be seeing this again over the years and will always look forward to it. Too bad Stanley is not with us any more, but for the films we have of his, he is with us every day.
