Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

A chilling satire. An unforgettable triple role. It’s topical even today. And it’s primarily very funny and the satire precise. It doesn’t matter if you like the end result or not; one thing is certain. It’s gripping, if nothing else... And there can never be too many movies like this. A crying shame that Kubrick didn’t make more comedies; he certainly had a talent for them. (06/12/2004)

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!" (04/04/2010)

My fifth Kubrick. While I obviously don't remember the era and couldn't absorb the tense political atmosphere of the time from credible liberal sources, I did suffer through some of that education. And so you can’t help but notice with this work Kubrick is reflecting on the Cuban Missile Crisis, which was indeed the closest we came in the entire Cold War era to the outbreak of another global conflict. To make the whole film in a satirical and parodying spirit is probably the best thing Kubrick could have done, because it was the satirical approach that perfectly allowed him to point out the senselessness and lameness of the whole long conflict between East and West. The only thing that perhaps disappointed me a little was that the entire time the viewer only witnesses political events in the West. Some insight into the Kremlin and an "Eastern perspective" on the whole affair might have added to the overall experience. The question is how the East would have taken it at the time if someone parodied their high command. ;) (02/12/2011)

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. (30/04/2006)

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.
