Watching a movie every (other, or so) day, indefinitely. Why? Because.

Day 27 - Dr. Strangelove

Full title: Dr. Strangelove (Or: How I learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb)


I really enjoyed this film. Not because it was exciting (it wasn't especially) but because it had a very interesting message.


Essentially, Dr. Strangelove explores the likelihood of an imminent nuclear holocaust. In the film, such an event takes place within a matter of about three hours. Scary stuff. Strangelove demonstrates man's rash nature and even man's immaturity in areas of foreign relations. This issue is brilliantly highlighted by absurdist humor.


This is one of Stanley Kubrick's earlier films (1964), yet it does not fail to impress.
