Film of the day

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
Stanley Kubrick
1964
USA
93min

When I was a child, I really loved playing with midget F15s, F16s, B52s and especially F117-As. I loved America, I loved the Air Force, I adored those wild cowboys riding their monster machines like I'd do it on the PS1 while playing Air Combat, which I still think is a genius piece in video game history.

I don't know why I'm telling you this and I don't exactly know why this film reminded me of those times, but you can't avoid the unavoidable I guess.



What I know now is that Peter Sellers is a damn good actor and I'll definitely have to try gettin some more of films he's playin in.

All three roles he's acting in Dr. Strangelove are under the most convincing ones I've ever mentioned, beginning at Cpt. Mandrake, going to Pres. Muffley and ending at Dr. Merkwürdig himself.

Just had a laugh when reading that Kubrick didn't tell Slim Pickens (the cowboy major riding the bomb) that he's planning to do a critical & satirical movie, so Pickens really took all the speeches to his camerades for sure he'd do an absolute pro patriotic US movie.
