Review of Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) by Nesbitt10 — 18 Dec 2012
Stanley Kurbrick's brillant satire on the cold war is widely considered one of the funniest movies in cinematic history. A lone general gone mad gives the green light launching an A-Bomb attack on Russia, and the President now (Sellers) must pull out all the stops to prevent this.
This dark comedy is shot entirely in black and white with terrific production design. Astutely, Kubrick focuses on the actual nuclear event in itself, thus removing the issues of foreign politics. The films message simply put its this; man is not at the mercey of machines,but it in fact it's just the opposite.
Petter Sellers is sensational playing several roles and the film has stood the test of time remaining undated.
