Dr. Strangelove

Well Dr. Strangelove is a film directed by Stanley Kubrick and goes through the story about how a rogue commanding officer . The movie really is sort of humorous when you actually understand the storyline and watch some of the antics that some of the characters do.
To start the movie is shot in completely black and white so that's an effect in itself. But at the beginning of the film there is a scene where the officer Ripper is contemplating and really is thinking bout the events to come. And he is sitting in his desk shrouded in darkness other than a light beaming him from overhead. This adds another dimension to the scene where the mood reflects the characters feelings at the time. The film also consists of many behind the head shots where you see the scene from a characters point of view, and teh characters head is partially visible.
Furthermore this film consists of many grounds shots where the camera is set on the ground and you see the scene from that viewpoint. This is used at various points in the movie and in various ways that enrich it. The war room where all of the heads of state meet to discus teh whole situation is dark with no to bright of lighting. Since this is supposed to be a room where important decisions are to be made its understandable the sort of dark setting to evocate tension in teh scene. To continue the many battle scenes in the movie where the bas of Commander Ripper is being attacked teh scenes look like old war movies where the screen shakes when a bomb explodes and you see soldiers running across the screen. The film looks like one of the classics especially with the balck and white aspect being added to it.
In accordance to teh costume or makeup the costumes helped lend the authortive army aspect to it. It did get sort of humorous like when the other commander was in his hotel room with his girlfriend.
