While the film we just watched was not my favorite, it did present a very interesting and logical idea as well as allowed me to understand in greater extent the events that unfolded or could have unfolded with the encounter between Russia and the United States. It was very interesting to see the idea that war is made by man of wealth but fought by men of lower status. While the film didnt really allow the audience to see the actual tragedy of war because it didnt show it from the perspective of a soldier, it did show us the perspective of a politician, which is valuable within itself.  We are also able to see through the film the effect human error has on the unfolding of events. It inevitable is out to get us. I also found it very interesting how the two presidents were very friendly while the countries hated each other.
