Best political satire period

Rating: 10/10 (15 October 2006)

This movie was an excellent satire on the political times of the 60s, focusing on the Cold War aspect. This movie touches upon many different aspects of the problems of the Cold War, from the urge to use an atomic bomb, country to country hostility, as well as the whole espionage area of trying to find out what your opponent was doing before they could attack. Except Kubrick manages to do it all with such class and hilarity and Sellers delivers arguably some of his best performances (especially of the German Scientist Dr. Strangelove). George C. Scott is a good addition as the fiery soldier who just wants to end the "commies before its too late", he bounces off of the other communist characters in the film quite well. The jokes are all very well placed and a majority of them are subtle sexual innuendos that I am surprised got by some of the censors back in the 60s. Overall, a movie all movie fans need to see.
