A pretty funny political satire!

Rating: 8/10 (7 December 2016)

The Cold War was a period full of tensions, uncertainty, and the constant fear of an all-out nuclear war was on everyone's mind.
Stanley Kubrick's fearless vision, to make a satire out of a subject so relevant and serious at that period should be appreciated.
Yes, and guess what?
He made a film, so rich in well-rounded characters, sharp humor, and the underlying goofiness that stayed throughout its run-time. The film pokes fun at a lot of subjects, the US military, the Russians (called Commies), and it was a pretty ballsy move, in my opinion.
The cinematography was great, and all performances were excellent. A special mention should go to Sterling Haydon, who played General Jack D. Ripper, and Peter Sellers, who played three characters in the film, Dr Strangelove, The President, and Mandrate. Some sequences were shot really well, and I was pretty awestruck after watching them.
This is certainly not the best of Kubrick. The first act of the film was pretty slow paced and the film did pick up in the second and third acts, and it turned downright hilarious to watch!
