Thanks to Marine which made me watched last night Dr Strangelove as a part of our new remote weekly movie nights. Rules are simple, each Monday one of us need to announce on twitter which movie he consider as a part of his top 20 movie and we have 7 days to watch it and write a personal comment.

This week was Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb – 1964 from Stanley Kubrick. I was already a fan of the dark humour of Kubrick but this chef d’oeuvre turns my movie evening into a great piece of fun and laugh.

Putting things in perspective using the cold war as a plot for a dark humour satire in 1964 6 months after the assassination of Kennedy might not have been an easy thing, I wish someone tell me how it has been received by public.

To come back to the original point, the cast is wonderful and the real Dr Strangelove is endlessly funny at the end of the movie during the monologue on the future plan to save humanity. I have as well to mention the phone conversation between both Presidents which can be seen over and over and just keep make me laugh as the first time.

I ask anyone which like dark humour to see this movie which define the comic of situation as well as outline the real sense of comedy.

Finally I am thankful for the skills of Kubrick in playing chess which he used at many occasion to make a point with George C Scott to play his role the way we can admire him in.
