Dr. Strangelove

Dr. Strangelove my seem like one of those old' movies. It may be, but it is an excellent old' movie. It is what's called a dark comedy'. Dark comedies take real life, serious situations and make them comical. It's actually a lot funnier than it sounds.
The movie Dr. Strangelove takes place at the height of the nuclear arms race between the United States of America and the united soviet soughvern republic (or U.S.S.R.). And is about how an Air Force general who goes paranoid delusional and sends B-2 nuclear bombers to attack the Russians without authorization from the president of the united states. Dr. Strangelove is this crippled German nuclear scientist that cannot control his right arm (this becomes more obvious towards the end of the movie) that is an advisor to the president of the United States.
There is a lot of Freudian psychology in this movie. For example, when the air force general talks about precious bodily fluids', and with cigars and cigarettes. All the generals smoke big cigars. And Dr. Strangelove always smokes little cigarettes, and talks about big bombs.
The story behind the name is that we as Americans have a strange love' for nuclear bombs, especially big' bombs. And having lots of them.

So now that this review is read, go and watch the movie and see that it is worth a rating of ten out of ten.
