My favorite movie of all time

Rating: 10/10 (14 October 2005)

Though somewhat dated now, it captured the mindset of the times. Before there are stereotypes, there are often people that embodied the virtues and vices that the stereotypes represent. The Mad Scientist, the ineffective President, the creations of machines (both computer and in organizations) that get out of control were distilled in this movie by Mr. Kubrick and by Mr. Southern. The attitudes in the film represented a number of those what were closely held at the time.
Finally, it was considered an adult film, and one that did not contain nudity or explicit sexual content, or for that matter "the type of violence with red blood" that causes banning of movies in the US or overseas. Well, there is a bomb dropped, and some long shots of combat, but it was profoundly disturbing because in was very, very real at the time.
