Review of Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) by Matt M — 31 Jan 2013
Another amazing Kubrick film that is once again quite distinctive but different from the rest. This one is one of the most bitingly satirical films ever made, as it deals in a hauntingly but almost light hearted way with the pressing nuclear and cold war issues.
In portraying the inevitable end of the world as the result of a misunderstanding, it attacks the incompetence of the military and the authoritarian bodies who hold the key to the destruction of the world in their hand and wave it around like a threat.
The final sequence with the introduction of Dr. Strangelove's plan of the final solution is the perfect summing up of the madness and poignancy of the rest of the film, which also counts on great performances by the great cast, including another great performance by Peter Sellers, who appears in top shape.
