Review of Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) by Bill M — 11 Dec 2014
50 years on, Kubrick's satire remains astonishingly dark and uncomfortably funny, it's apocalyptic comedy possibly more disturbing and scary now that we have baby faced psycho Kim Jong Un at the red button than it was in the midst of the atomic age.
Also Peter Sellers pulls off a tour de force of comedic genius in his three hilarious roles as a British sargent, the president of the united states and Dr Strangelove himself (who despite being the title character only has about five minutes of screen time) laugh as you likely will you'll still be somewhat disquieted by the terrifying concept of the, "lets hope it's not real", doomsday device and everything it entails.
But if it is to be, we'll meet again some sunny day.
