Sinopsis(1)
Convencido de que los comunistas están contaminando a la nación americana, un general ordena, en un acceso de locura, un ataque aéreo nuclear por sorpresa sobre la Unión Soviética. Su ayudante, el capitán Mandrake, trata de averiguar el código para detener el bombardeo. Para solucionar el problema, el presidente de EE. UU. se comunica con Moscú para convencer al dirigente soviético de que el ataque es un estúpido error. Mientras tanto, el asesor del presiente, un antiguo científico nazi, el Dr. Strangelove, confirma la existencia de la “Máquina del Juicio Final”, un dispositivo de represalia soviético capaz de acabar con la humanidad para siempre. (Sony Pictures Esp.)

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.

A searing satire of military thinking and the threat of nuclear war. I never got to like Peter Sellers much, but here he absolutely grounded me with his triple role. The rodeo on the bomb at the end is the cherry on top of this delicious cake.

The truly friendly conversation with Dimitri, the shining Peter Sellers, and the typically biting Stanley Kubrick. Dr. Strangelove has exactly the type of humor that, when it hits, leaves both wrinkles from laughter and the feel of a perfectly ingenious film. Especially since it's not for everyone. But for me, even fifty years after it was made, it remains an ageless bullseye.

A brilliant idea, masterfully brought to perfection, despite the bizarreness on the way. Now I finally understand the thousands of references found in American pop culture. Slim Pickens’ rodeo ride, the War Room. Truly an essential piece of cinematography. Peter Sellers excels, Sterling Hayden, ranting on with that cigar in his mouth, is the epitome of the military and George C. Scott steals almost all the scenes only and only for himself. Great.

What can I say about Dr. Strangelove? It's a film by one of my favorite directors, starring one of my favorite actors in several roles, the subject matter is a satirical Cold War comedy, which is (what a coincidence) one of my favorite subjects... What, you haven't seen it yet? "I'm walking!"

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.

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.

In the film Paths of Glory, Kubrick already showed how masterfully he could depict what happens in the military. This time he decided to handle satirically the subject matter he approached seriously in an older film, choosing Peter George's book, which he adapted into one of the most commercially successful films. It's a very harsh satire on the Cold War and on what could happen if one person in the right place went crazy or simply decided to take matters into their own hands. Kubrick reunited with Peter Sellers, this time casting him in a triple role, demonstrating Sellers' strength as an actor because each of his roles is completely different. And it's not just him. George C. Scott and Sterling Hayden are also great. Kubrick's precision in scenes, especially those involving aircraft, probably doesn't surprise anyone. It’s undoubtedly Kubrick's funniest film and the only one primarily considered as a comedy.

My fifth Kubrick. While I obviously don't remember the era and couldn't absorb the tense political atmosphere of the time from credible liberal sources, I did suffer through some of that education. And so you can’t help but notice with this work Kubrick is reflecting on the Cuban Missile Crisis, which was indeed the closest we came in the entire Cold War era to the outbreak of another global conflict. To make the whole film in a satirical and parodying spirit is probably the best thing Kubrick could have done, because it was the satirical approach that perfectly allowed him to point out the senselessness and lameness of the whole long conflict between East and West. The only thing that perhaps disappointed me a little was that the entire time the viewer only witnesses political events in the West. Some insight into the Kremlin and an "Eastern perspective" on the whole affair might have added to the overall experience. The question is how the East would have taken it at the time if someone parodied their high command. ;)
