Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
A must watch, Kubrick showing why he’s regarded as one of the best ever, this is a masterpiece. The story is interesting and gripping, the performances are brilliant, every character is unique and full of life. When he rides the bomb... perfection.

The drums of apocalypse are beating, the cavernous sound in question expressed as one mighty clap upon General Turgidson's belly. Or every time I clickity-click over to one of the current four websites, I can probably piece together this screenplay in just a couple doomscrolls no problem

muito engraçado ver uma sátira de como americano é burro e cheio de conspiração feita por um americano
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
Dr. Strangelove is clever and darkly funny, with sharp satire and some great performances. However, the humor doesn't always land and at times feels a bit slow and dated. The story goes into too much detail for me, but overall, Dr. Strangelove is clever and unique, but not as entertaining for me as its reputation suggests.

Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room. I went into this film knowing nothing about it besides its classic status, which I believe was for the best. Knowing myself, if I had known this was a war film, I probably would’ve putt off watching this indefinitely. While it took me a second to settle in, I found it relatively easy to immerse myself in the militaristic landscape, which is something I often struggle to do. I haven’t seen enough movies about war to confidently say that this is the best, I can say that it’s my favorite. I don’t believe Kubrick shies away from discussing the devastation fighting on this scale involves, but the choice to focus more specifically on wartime paranoia made this a more interesting and entertaining watch for me. A 1964 satire of red scare ideologies is still relevant today? Who would’ve thought?? Tremendously funny and (yes) well-crafted. I’ll be thinking about the General T.J.’s final scene for the rest of my life.

A timeless masterpiece and satire at its purest

Auteurs: Stanley Kubrick Film #7: Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb Dr. Strangelove is a staple in Kubrick's film canon. Being as relevant as ever, this Cold War satire still stands the test of time, eerily mirroring some things that could possibly occur today. Kubrick's vision comes full force here, with Peter Sellers stealing the entire show. This is a film that makes you laugh out loud, especially with how ridiculous the plot is, but also makes you consider that things like this actually can happen, and while there's practically no chance of this ever occurring, it's still something that can happen. Dr. Strangelove is the beginning of Kubrick's better years, and it's certainly an amazing film to kick them off with.

I usually understand satire. I actually really enjoy reading satire. So when I saw that Dr. Strangelove was a satire, I was ecstatic! After finishing the film though, I felt a bit confused. After thinking a little while, I believe I finally understand at least some of the satire. Satire aside, Dr. Strangelove really lives up to it's notorious title. The film seemed really easy to watch. It was funny in some parts and dramatic in others. Everything basically evened out. Peter Sellers was fantastic. I didn't realize that he was playing 3 different parts until late in the film. I recognized some facial features, but didn't truly notice until the end. It takes a lot to play 3 radically different characters, and Peter Sellers made it seem super easy. Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb is a dark comedy that deserves the cult status that it has. Being funny and dramatic and satirical, Dr. Strangelove balances everything out, creating the best Cold War satire of all time.
