How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Paradox or Dr. Strangelove
Stanley Kubrick’s dark humor is evident in all of his best works, but this Cold War masterpiece shows what happens when political satire is incorporated into a script like razor (adapted from Peter George’s Red Alert, with his help) and arguably the most detailed – the direction of comedy acting in film history. Peter Sellers is (still) a scene-stealing revelation with many equally ridiculous characters, especially the former Nazi name in the movie. Sterling Hayden’s General Ripper and his obsession with precious body fluids still resound authentically on many levels, as well as a fierce commentary on global winemaking that could have been written last year instead half a century ago. Both iconic and provocative, this is one of the most visually and tonally influential comedies of all time because it works hard for every laugh it receives and disregards. respect for viewers except for the brain and sense of humor.
