Review of Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) by Nate G — 12 Apr 2012
This film begins with little resembling a comedy, but builds into a very smart and at times very funny movie. I enjoyed the angles of the jokes more so than how funny they were. All of them were dead on for the era that this film was depicting.
The paranoia was so perfect and the way that every character was certifiably insane in their own way (some obviously more than others) was great. Dr. Strangelove, of course, also features trademark Kubrick cinematography as well which makes it even more enjoyable.
Peter Sellers' performance(s) were impressive as well and if I hadn't known better may not have even known it was him for all 3? roles. He was especially funny as the British officer, Mandrake.
Seeing this movie had been a long time coming for me, and I'm not sure what I expected, but it lived up to what I had hoped.
