[Quick Summary: A crazy general starts a unilateral war against the Russians. I think.]
It's my fault.
I don't get this script.
I know it's a broad comedy about the idiocy of nuclear war & the players. I even chuckled at the name "Colonel 'Bat' Guano."
But I felt as if I was trying to interpret a foreign language & couldn't translate.
Maybe because this script relies very heavily on language over visuals? Can someone help me?
WHAT I'VE LEARNED: This must be what it feels like when someone on the other side of the world watches a U.S. comedy & just doesn't get it. Because I didn't.
Dr. Strangelove (1964)
by Stanley Kubrick, Terry Southern, and Peter George
