This certainly wasn’t a straightforward comedy. Don’t get me wrong, there was humor and not a little of it, but the main idea of the film was deadly serious, with a corresponding atmosphere. What blew my mind was how this film is still relevant even fifty-six years after its premiere. The Cold War is officially off the table, but all you need is one retard who manages to get hold of the briefcase with the red button, knocks back two shots of disinfectant every morning, and believes that the best argument is to yell loudly, and we’re in real trouble.

What can I say about Dr. Strangelove? It's a film by one of my favorite directors, starring one of my favorite actors in several roles, the subject matter is a satirical Cold War comedy, which is (what a coincidence) one of my favorite subjects... What, you haven't seen it yet? "I'm walking!"

A really friendly conversation with Dimitrij, a shining Peter Sellers, and bitingly typical Kubrick. Dr. Strangelove has exactly the type of humor that, when it hits, leaves both wrinkles from laughter and a sense of a perfectly clever film. Especially since it's not for everyone. But for me, even after fifty years since its creation, it remains an ageless bull's eye.

An excellent Kubrick satire that impresses especially with excellent performances and an imaginative script. Peter Sellers really shines in his roles, but I was most amused by George C. Scott as the paranoid anti-communist general. Things must have been pretty intense during the Cold War, but Kubrick makes fun of everything in a perfect way. You won't be rolling on the floor laughing, but its different perspective on the threat of war will make you think perhaps more effectively than any serious film.

A brilliant idea, masterfully brought to perfection, despite the bizarreness on the way. Now I finally understand the thousands of references found in American pop culture. Slim Pickens’ rodeo ride, the War Room. Truly an essential piece of cinematography. Peter Sellers excels, Sterling Hayden, ranting on with that cigar in his mouth, is the epitome of the military and George C. Scott steals almost all the scenes only and only for himself. Great.
