A Wonderful satire from Kubrick!

Rating: 9/10 (27 December 2011)

First and foremost, let me mate note that Peter Sellers really shone in his role as the group captain, Lionell mandrake. This is a film that heavily mocks the cold war and the absurdity of the situation. For some viewers, the comedic side might not be clear until the end, as some of the humour derives from actors playing silly things straight. Peter Sellers was really good as President Merkin Muffley, and his phone call to the Russian leader is one of the funniest in history.
The routes of concerns in Dr Strangelove take place in logical facilities that soon escalate into absurdity. There was some subtle jokes, and some not so-subtle ones such as Petter Sellers character, Dr Strangelove, with an uncontrollable Nazi hand, and some other slapstick moments. It's got an iconic ending which in the end is lead to by the human assertion of power and gaps in logic. THis is a film well worthing multiple times - for I only fully understood some jokes, such as the true hilarity of a certain Russian's camera- the second time.
"You can't fight in here, this is the war room". A masterpiece, with the strenght of a serious drama with great irony, one of my favourite comedies.
