Completely Unique

Rating: 10/10 (5 April 2017)

On one hand, I'd say that this is the sort of film that could only have been made in the 50s or the 60s. It has that atmosphere with some cold war tension and that sort of audience. The time period was very unique and had a wide range of movies of different styles and was an era of change in the film industry.
On the other hand, I'd say that this movie was of its time. With its quick camera motions, 360 degree turns and unique film-making style (by acclaimed director Stanley Kramer), this is without doubt almost an 80s or 90s film in directorial aspects.
The two most powerful things that the film had in hand were its fantastic performances by Spencer Tracy (and others whose names I cannot remember), and the message of the film (which is almost a twist in itself).
Overall, it's a masterpiece and nothing short of that. One of the best films I have ever seen.
