Doctor Strangelove, Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb is a movie from the early 1960s that was a parody on the hawkish advocates of use of the atomic bomb against the U.S.'s military enemies. It was a successful comedy that continues to have a cult following to this day among those who follow politics.
The film was directed by noted liberal Stanley Kubrick, whose other films have dealt with inappropriate sexuality (Lolita and Eyes Wide Shut), the supposed evolution of man (2001: A Space Odyssey), and a liberal view of the military (Full Metal Jacket). Like Full Metal Jacket, Dr. Strangelove is used as a tool to mock the military and portray the buildup of nuclear weapons as foolish, even though it was this footing that allowed the U.S. to win the Cold War.
