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

In the movie "Paths of Glory", Kubrick already showed how masterfully he can depict what happens in the army. The subject matter, which he took seriously in an older film, this time he decided to approach satirically and chose the book by Peter George, which he adapted into one of the most successful films in terms of audience reception. It is a very harsh satire on the Cold War and on what could happen if one person went mad in the right place, or simply decided to take matters into their own hands. Kubrick repeated his collaboration with Peter Sellers, this time in a triple role, demonstrating his strength as an actor because each of his roles is completely different. It's not just him. George C. Scott and Sterling Hayden are also great. Kubrick's precision in the scenes, especially those involving airplanes, comes as no surprise. Undoubtedly Kubrick's funniest film and actually the only one primarily considered as a comedy. (07/04/2014)

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.

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)

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. (02/07/2012)

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)
