Dr. Strangelove

I thought that this movie was...different. I love the way that they were able to potray all the issues that were going on at that time. It showed how people were scared of the red scare and the amount of degree that each person took it. It also showed how the different countries were in an arms race with each other.
For example: At the end when they were discussing going into the mine tunnels to escape being nuked, they were questioning if when they got out, they would be bombed by another country that brought bombs into their mine shaft thing.
I think that this movie did a great job potraying that era.

This is a youtube link to a four minute part in the video where the President meets with the Russian President.
