Editorial Reviews

Rarely does nihilistic humor bubble up so relentlessly as in Stanley Kubrick's 1964 masterpiece of political satire, Dr. Strangelove. The tale begins when Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden), a United States general who is as obsessed with the spread of communism as he is with the dangers of fluoridation, dispatches a flock of B-52's into Russia, putting the world inexorably on a path toward self-annihilation. Kubrick's early training as a photographer is evident, especially in his bold sense of visual composition. The film's cartoonish characters grease the scathing commentary on cold war buffoonery. George C. Scott blows hard as a posturing hawk of the Pentagon. Peter Sellers plays three characters, among them the bizarre title character -- a former Nazi war criminal turned White House consultant. And of course, there's Slim Pickens's cowboy kamikaze, who rides a missile rodeo style, whooping and hollering into oblivion. Monica McIntyre, Barnes & Noble

Dr.Strangeloveby Anonymous

April 15, 2008: The film Dr. Strangelove is about a nuclear war. The nuclear war took place during the Cold War period. This movie shows how the government of the United States and the Soviet Union are trying to create a war filled with hatred and pure destruction. The film also goes to show how the scientists and the generals are creating weapons that can be used in this war. The Soviets also created a specific weapon, which will destroy the world if they should be attacked. When my professor first put this film on and I saw how the film was completely in black and white, my first thoughts were “this movie is going to be so boring.” I honestly began to think that I was going to be falling asleep throughout the film, but I was wrong. The film kept me on my toes throughout the entire film and had my full attention during the entire movie. I did not think a movie about war could ever be portrayed in a comical way. It also seemed strange to me that a war film, which is so horrifying was turned into a good comical movie. Not a lot of movies are able to take such a deadly serious subject and position it with comedy. This movie turned war into a laughing matter, but it wasn’t in a bad way. As soon as the movie began, I could not stop laughing. I definitely think I could watch this movie on various occasions and honestly enjoy it each time without getting bored or tired of it. The movie is filled with so many funny parts that I can't even begin to mention them all. There were also many good parts in the movie and I don’t think I could pick out a favorite. From the scene in the “war room” and in the bomber plane there are many unforgettable scenes. The actors are also what made this movie fun and easy to watch. The characters were all great, everything was just excellent. I can honestly say I don’t have one bad comment about this movie. The humor was outstanding as well as the acting and I enjoyed it fully. I don’t think this movie will never feel outdated or too “old fashioned” to watch. Forty years from now, I think this movie will be hilarious and just as good as it is now. The movie gives an excellent insight about the absurdities of war and politics.

The Greatest Black Comedy of All Timeby Anonymous

January 28, 2008: I first saw Dr. Strangelove in the local movie theater when it was released in 1964. I was eight years old, and I thought I didn't understand what was going on, because I didn't think grownups made movies like this. Since then I've come to realize that Dr. Strangelove is the greatest black comedy of all time, lampooning the paranoid anti-Communism and the repressed sexuality of America of 1950s and early 1960s. But strangly enough, the film also pays admiring tribute to the SAC bombers and crewmen that it satirizes. It also has one of the great iconic moments in all of cinema history, when Slim Pickens rides down the H-bomb like a rodeo bull.
