Perfection

Rating: 10/10 (17 February 2001)

This film is great for so many reasons. First off, I still find people, who have seen the film, that don't believe Peter Sellers played three different roles. Second, put it in context. This is a comedy about nuclear holocaust released during the height of the Cold War! The world was afraid of "the bomb" and Kubrick and company make a joke about it. Third, "Gentlemen you can't fight in here, this is the war room!" Nuff said. And those are only a few of the reasons.
Obviously Peter Sellers is a genius, but sometimes lost is the brilliance of George C. Scott in this film.
Anyone interested in seeing black comedy/ satire done to perfection: check out Dr. Strangelove.
