>From a review:<BR>
<BR>
“There's not a false note in <I>Dr. Strangelove</I>. This 1964 black comedy about the ultimate madness of nuclear conflict and the bloody folly of war is a masterpiece, and the best Cold War movie ever made. <BR>
<BR>
>From the suggestive credit sequence of a B-52 bomber and a KC-135 tanker coupling for a romantic mid-air refueling to the deeply silly names for all the characters, <I>Dr. Strangelove, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb</I> is the funniest movie you'll ever see about the threat of global nuclear devastation.<BR>
<BR>
.... The movie accurately forecasted the economic collapse of the Soviet Union under the weight of ever-increasing defense spending twenty years before it actually happened. But its sharpest insights are reserved for the colossal egos of the men who see combat as an aphrodisiac, and discuss the death of millions as "acceptable losses." <BR>
<BR>
The 40 years of nuclear standoff that defined the Cold War may just be a hiccup in history that we'll have to explain to our grandkids one day, but Kubrick's darkly funny classic <I>Dr. Strangelove</I> will resonate as long as there are soldiers, politicians, and power struggles.” <BR>
