Dr. Strangelove: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb

Dr. Strangleove is probably one of the best satires I've ever seen. Satirical humor is right up my alley. I find it to be a more subtle than other types of humor. This particular film did an amazing job of satire without going overboard and cheesy.
The whole movie is about the Cold War and what would happen if the bombs were accidentliy deployed. One of the generals- I think- went a little silly and decides himself that it's time for America to attack Russia. Only he knows the codes to call back the planes and he's put a lockdown on the base so no one can get in and stop him. The President of the United States is trying to warn the Russian leader and figure out how to stop it before the Russian Dooms Day machine goes off, destroying all life on the planet.
The movie starts out very serious and slowly becomes more absurd. There are a plethora of scenes that are perfect examples of satire. When the President is trying to warn the Russian leader, the whole conversation is funny. Their conversation is light and flufy when the situation is so dire. A quote that is so good is "No fighting in the War room", it cracks me up. I also loved the scene where the man that could save the world can't make the call because he doesn't have enough change. The response of the other man is priceless. I don't want to go too into detail and not do the scenes justice.
The very best scene displaying satire is at the end when they know the Dooms Day machine will go off so they start making plans to live in the mine shafts where the radiation won't penetrate. Well, some of the men are quite excited by the ratio of 10 women to 1 man; of course all the woman must be beautiful so to help with the repopulating. The part that is satirical is how they are so clam at the doors of the end of the world. Also, that they start worrying the Russians will emerge in a hundred years and be ahead in the arms race. Even after the fact that the world nearly ended because of the arms race they still need to be ahead. It just shows how ridiculous the whole thing was.
If you appreciate satire then this is a must! I loved watching this film, some people might be board but I thought it was very entertaining.
