Murphy's Law

Rating: 10/10 (24 July 2014)

Hailing as my favorite movie, Dr. Strangelove is the greatest dark satire to grace the silver screen. On par with any works of Kurt Vonnegut Jr., Dr. Strangelove lampoons the Cold War. With three great performances from Peter Sellers, George C. Scott playing a patriotic(and often zany) general, Slim Pickens giving his best John Wayne impersonation as a pilot, and Sterling Hayden being Sterling Hayden there are plenty of laughs to be had. Kubrick doesn't stop at satire, spanning slapstick, visual humor, sexual innuendos, political humor; Dr.Strangelove has a bit of everything. Stanley Kubrick forces us to laugh at the mutual destruction of our planet, and shows us that in the face of Dooms- Day anything that can go wrong will go wrong.
