Dr STRANGElove

Rating: 7/10 (16 May 2010)

This movie has an excellent view into both Kubrick's humor and view of the world. The movie is about the paranoia and stupidity of both the US and the Soviet Union. They both try to prevent getting killed by the other, and eventivitably end up blowing each other up. This is the only funny nuclear holocaust film I've seen just by how the story is told and how the events keep getting more and more ridiculous. There is just one problem after another, more prejudice, more stupidity and more paranoia after the other. Peter Sellers does an amazing job at playing as three distinct characters. If you couldn't tell, he's the president of the United States, an British RAF officer, and the rather strange ex-Nazi German scientist; Dr. Strangelove. The special effects can be a little weird but you hardly notice, but appreciate it.
