50 Greatest Movie Scenes Of All Time

4. Dr. Strangelove - End Scene

If contrast were to be defined in a single image, it€™d be that of many atomic bombs going off whilst Vera Lynn music played softly in the background. The end scene of Dr. Strangelove is what black comedy is all about; creating an opposing contrasting image. It is a harrowing thought that the world could end so abruptly, yet we do not really feel its fragility. It is one of the best executed conclusions in film, mainly because it didn€™t alleviate from its dark tone €“ as satirical films should, usually don't. http://youtu.be/s4VlruVG81w
