Not much I can say about this movie... It was different. Dr. Strangelove: how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb, was made during the Cold War which was an arms race between USSR and America. Add in a really wierd guy in a wheel chair, ego maniacs trying to run the United States behind the President's back, and a questionable relationship between the President and the Russian Prime Minister and you've got the movie.
Surprisingly, the film was nominated for several Oscars, including, best actor (Peter Sellers), best director (Stanley Kubrick), best picture?! (Stanley Kubrick), and best writing/screenplay based on another medium (Stanley Kubrick, Peter George, Terry Southern).
Ok here goes the crazyness... There's this general who's lost his marbles and is way too concerned with people's "bodily fluids" so he orders his fighters to bomb Russia, thinking Russia was going to bomb the U.S. Then when the President calls a meeting and talks to the Soviet ambassador, we come to find out that if Russia is hit, the "Doomsday Machine" will be triggered and blow up the entire world!! Those are some high stakes people! General Jack Ripper is the only one who knows the code to stop the planes from attacking.
