Dr. Strangelove (1964) watch a long (Patreon)

The winner of our Dark Comedy Poll and ranked #39 on the AFI list—another classic checked off the list, and it feels great! I'm glad I gave this one a watch. I did read right before watching as I brought it up that it was a satire about the Cold War so I was like “what do I know about this?” and will I get all the jokes? So I maybe knew I was doomed 😂 While it's clever and sharp, it doesn't quite make it to the top of my favorites list. But I must say, the sets, camera techniques, and lighting were amazing, and the acting was awesome. I loved the contrast of the situations and characters with the absurdity of war and the irony throughout. The characters were definitely memorable and outrageously over the top! I think I might have missed some things, but that's life! Very much so up for another rewatch, where I think the experience will be richer! Yet, I still had a lot of laughs!

Let me know all your thoughts down below! What did I miss? What are you fave lines in this? Mine was surely the "no fighting in the war room" line!

Thank you so much for supporting me on Patreon! Ya'll are the best!
