It might just be the most important comedy ever made

Rating: 10/10 (26 July 2005)

Back when this was made, as we all already know, the world was in fear over the idea that a new war could start and end man kind as we know it.
I think that making this film was a very intelligent thing to do. Not only does it present the problem of war and says that something should be done to solve the problem before it is to late, but it also turns war into a joke to help ease everyones fears. The film in a nut shell makes war look ridicules, which in reality it very well is, but making it look this way makes it seem less likely that it will actually happen. This film might have put some people's fears to rest because of just how absurd it all is, but then again it does have a lot of truth to it. It would have raised a lot of awareness to.
You see, I didn't live back then so I can only speculate on the kind of impact this film had, but no doubt it was ground braking and it might just be one of the most important films that there is.
As for how good the actual film is, well, like I said I did not live in that time, but none of the humor was lost on me. I laughed my head off threw out the film.
"My Fuer! I can walk!"
Oh my God what a great line!
The only thing that bugged me was how suddenly it ended. I had gotten so into it that I didn't want to see it end. I don't think it tops Clock Work Orange because that is far more intelligent and visually stunning, but by God this was a hoot! Smart, witty, provocative, and well all around a great show.
10 out of 10!
