Review of Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) by Joey F — 19 Oct 2015
I cannot think of a better satire than this. 50 years later, it still feels timely, not so much as a comment on the irrationality of mutual assured destruction and the Cold War mentality, but as a critique of the attitudes behind it that are still with us today. It's a film I never tire of. It's broad comic strokes nerver fail to entertain, and it contains so many subtleties that I still finmd new things in it after at least half a dizen viewings.
"General Turgidson! When you instituted the human reliability tests, you assured me there was no possibility of such a thing ever occurring!".
"Well, I, uh, don't think it's quite fair to condemn a whole program because of a single slip-up, sir.".
