Dr. Strangelove was an interesting movie because it went from having a serious and very ominous feeling to being a joke. The overall message of the movie is a solemn one, but many moments are very comical. For example, the conversations between the president and the Russian prime minister are hysterical. The captions on the nuclear warheads saying "handle with care" and the cowboy pilot are all intended to be funny. Yet the climax of the movie is when the bomb explodes, and it sets off the doomsday device, thus bringing about the end of the human race. I saw a movie called "failsafe" that was very similar to this one in which America accidentally destroys Moscow with a H bomb. Rather than begin a nuclear war that would prove to be the end of the world, the president chooses to explode a bomb on New York in order to balance the disaster.

THe two films came out almost at the same time. Failsafe proved to be the bigger box office draw, but Strangelove has certainly passed the test of time. The first is rarely mentioned except as a footnote -- often as a poor man's Strangelove, while the latter is hailed universally as a masterpiece of historical satire.
