Dr. Strangelove

This movie was hilirious. It was pretty ridiculous. Although war is a very serious issue and shouldn't be taken lightly, Kubrik did a great job in creating a satire of this period in time during the Cold War Era. I love the characters in this film. The president, in his conversations to the president to Russia, Demitri, sounds as though he is talking to a little kid. When he first gets on the phone with him, the ambassador hands him the phone and tells him that he thinks Demitri is drunk. The whole movie is full of spoofs. You've got to love the General's theory of water fluoridation, how its "the most monsterously conceived, and dangerous communist plot we have ever had to face." If you get a chance you should look at the movie posters, I love the subtitles "Why did the fate of the world hang on a Coca-Cola machine" and "Why did U.S. Paratroopers invade their own base?". I am sure if they re-released this film today in movie theatres it would be a hit. Sadly enough, this movie reflects much of the additude people have about our government and its incompentence today. No one in this movie should be taken seriously, and many people feel the same way about the elected officials that are in office now.
