Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

The result is one of the funniest films ever made, Kubrick’s most unequivocal commentary, and perhaps cinema’s most disturbing take on the illusion of our control.

For me at any rate farce makes the theme of Dr. Strangelove not only more bearable, but also more believable. After all it is difficult to accept Doomsday unless as a monstrous joke.

Dr. Strangelove is irreverent to a point of savagery; it is funny and it is engrossing. And it’s heady stuff for movie-goers, for Kubrick, boy genius that he is, assumes that we’re grown-up enough to share his bitter laughter.

Successful and timeless satire is quite a rare and tricky beast. “Dr. Strangelove” is and will forever remain one of the finest movies (of any genre) ever produced.
