I Finally Believe (includes a spoiler)

Rating: 8/10 (23 July 2016)

My favorite Kubrick film.
I was born the year this movie came out, I think I saw parts of it in my teenage years, and could not understand it. I saw it again later in my 20's, and still did not understand. I suppose I am not the sharpest cheese in the "Fridge". Seen it 3x since, today being the last. All I can say is after 52 years, I finally get it.
Peter Sellers and the writers are brilliant, George C. Scott, Slim, and all actors are perfectly executed. The movie to me for years was absurd, I always figured it was some inept way to make people look foolish. Well, people are foolish and as absurd as the movie may seem, it portrays just how silly we can be and I would never put it past humans to "not" let something like this happen.
Spoiler follows: BRILLIANT, great movie, must watch several times, the war-room seance with George C. Scott explaining what is going on is absolutely hilarious, unreal yes, but plausible. And the "President" talking to Dimitri... LOVE it! My favorite line is when The Ambassador passes Comrade Dimitri off to the President and he warns him, "he might be drunk".
And when the Pres says to Dimitri, "Put everything you got to that sector, you cannot miss!" LOL
