Review of Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) by Ryan M — 20 Aug 2014
I cant believe I forgot to write a review for Dr. Strangelove. I mean, its Kubrick For God Sakes! But, I guess I can review it well I can, Its a satire that takes place at war that takes place in Three different places at the same time:
1. Peter Sellers plays some sort of General. He is that screw up kind of character who has to fight some enemies. There is a joke about a Coca-Cola machine not working which is hilarious.
2. Slim PIckens plays "King Kong" who is a pilot with a bunch of nukes in his plane. James Earl Jones also stars in this part where he is in the plane also. In one scene, King Kong rides a nuke that is falling and he explodes with it. Its genius.
3. The Best and most Shocking Part. The President and A Ex-Nazi Dr. Strangelove try to figure out where the doomsday device is and who has it. I will not ruin anything about the ending of the movie, but I will say there is a funny scene where one of them are getting into a fight and one of the people in the room says "Gentlemen, There is No Fighting In The War Room.".
Its a great black and white satire on war that was a risky move back when the cuba missle crisis was on going. Kubrick's Strangelove is a movie that should not be missed for movie buffs.
96/100 A.
