As timeless as war itselfOne of Dark Comedy's finest gems from an unsuspecting source. Easily Peter Sellers' best role, and a evidence of Kubrik's great versatility..CipsodusScore: 5/5

GeniusThis is an amazing movie with a combination of great acting, directing and a hilariously genius script. When Kubrick started to make the movie it was supposed to be a drama but as the script and filming developed it was inevitable to see the dark humor in this story and make it into one of the greatest dark comedies ever..OGGeo129Score: 5/5

Way to go 2_Face!Way to go 2_Face! I'm 14 too, and I love classic films. This is one of my all-time favorite movies, and one of Kubrick's best (Kubrick being my favorite director). Peter Sellers is not one of the best actors, but he was amazing in the movie! This is possibly the best black comedy ever filmed, right up there with M*A*S*H and Fargo. 1964 was a time of huge concern, in terms of nuclear warfare, and it was genius for Kubrick to send out this love note to the public mocking the situation! There are so many memorable and classic moments in this film. A must-see for anybody who likes this style of dark absurdist satire or Stanley Kubrick..DoggydookyScore: 5/5

Witty and Insightful!!!Stanley Kubrick’s 1964 black and white film was comical, witty, creating an insightful satire addressing the Cold War at the time. The movie was based on the book, “Red Alert” by Peter George. The plot really begins when General Ripper, the Air Force base commander orders his B-52 bombers, who are on routine airborne alert, to use nuclear bombs on the Soviet Union. It’s also important to keep in mind that General Ripper was extremely paranoid of communism, and so it is not a surprise to find that this was not allowed. The President of the US gathers his members to try and discuss the problem. While on one hand General Turgidson sees this as an opportunity, the President wants to remain peaceful and tries to warn the Russian Premiere of the attack. When the Russian Premiere picks up drunk, he leaks information that they have a so-called “doomsday device” that could virtually destroy the entire world if activated, with no way to turn it off. Throughout the rest of the movie it involves trying to get the recall code to contact Major Kong, the captain of the last plane remaining, from General Ripper before the target is hit and could possible destroy all plant and animal life on earth. The style of the film was very enjoyable. If you’ve ever studyied the Cold War, you can really have an understanding of what’s going on in the film. Even someone who didn’t know much on the subject could still find humor in the pilots reading porn magazines and the drunk Russian Premiere. You can make dramatized connections to the Cold War and the characters and objects of the film. General Ripper, who had an obsessive fear of communists and was always talking about “bodily fluids”, could be representative of people who also shared the same fear. The doomsday device is also exaggerated, as being said to destroy the entire world, but it really gets the message across at the dangers of the war. Even today we still have enough nuclear bombs that you could say we have a doomsday device. Another director’s choice that was interesting is how the viewer could never hear the other side of the conversation. So when they were relaying messages back and forth you only got one side of the story. This makes it hard for the viewer to ever know what exactly the information is, and what’s true and what’s not, which is probably something people within the Pentagon had to deal with at the time. The film wasn’t intended to be historically accurate, but it strangely had quite direct connections to real life events. The movie is centered on these nuclear weapons, which is one of the “races” the USSR and USA competed in. It especially highlighted the fear that came with that race. It really showed how fear prevented war. Ironically if the doomsday machine had been announced publically earlier, it would have ensued fear, and no attack would have taken place. This is clear when Dr. Strangelove says, “…but the whole point of the doomsday machine is lost if you keep it a secret.” It also showed the almost self-destructive nature that war can cause. By the height of the movie there was fighting going on within the Pentagon, there was a suicide, and Americans fighting Americans. Overall the movie although fictional, was a surprisingly insightful, producing a satirical film that even Daniel Ellsberg, the man who leaked the Pentagon papers, said, “That was a documentary!”.OrangepeelzScore: 5/5

Had to buy this after inauguration...when I saw Cheney in the wheelchair. Yes, many others thought the same thing - Cheney/Dr. Strangelove. An eerie echo and time to revisit this masterpiece of dark humor. May we be past the age of the nuclear maniacs..NYDaveScore: 5/5
