Being 24 and watching a movie that was made 20 years before i was born is not a very easy thing to do specially for a guy who likes technology and the way technology step on our toes -that's me-... but this movie is an exception! i saw it on IMDB and it was rated really high! even though it starts Peter sellers but i wasn't really aware of anything Peter sellers did other than the Pink Panther series of movies, and i kept seeing the ratings on IMDB for it as one of the most important comedies, so i decided to bring this movie and watch it!..
i watched it! and let me tell you! i knew why movie gurus say Stanley Kubrick is a genius! i mean of course he made alot of great movies... Lolita, the Shining, Full metal jacket... and the list goes on! but once you watch a movie like Dr. Strangelove after 44 years of it's release date and still can feel it was made yesterday and even relate to it, even the technological differences and the way things changed between now and then means nothing to me i really really enjoyed all the B52 scenes and the way the team interacted with one another! and it was just hilarious at some parts! specially the phone calls between the us president and the russian premier...
in my humble and personal movie reviews i'll be trying not to get into too much details as i'll let you dive through the details, but i will be giving recommendations and loving to discuss the movie with anyone who'd love to do so.
so in my Rami scale, this movie is "Awsome!" as i don't believe in numbers rating! i ain't no cretic or a journalist so my rating is simply i stated.
it's a must see for everyone who didn't live through the cold war era and it's a must see for everyone who wants to see raw talents and how beautiful a black comedy might look like! this movie letterly make you consider the end of the world as nothing but a big joke.
with love,
Rami
