One of the best films ever made, as a child I saw it and didn’t get the satire woven into the movie
Jack Ripper
Who carries loose change into combat
There will be no fighting in the war room
Las Vegas
As I got older the movie became much more poignant. There is a lot of satire , but also truth woven throughout the movie
The wiki page on this movie is one of the most extensive I have ever looked at
Yeehaw
All that being said, the movie is still terrifying.
Look at Biden’s War Room today. I’ll take the more level headed members of President Muffley’s in a heartbeat. Listen to the talking head brass like Jack Keane. Keane’s views are more certifiably insane regarding the Russians than Buck Turgidson’s were.
