      "Dr Strangelove"

      "Dr. Strangelove" expresses director Stanley Kubrick's anti-war sentiments in a darkly humorous way. The movie is as absurd as its full title, Dr. Strangelove, or How I Learned to Stop Fearing and Love the Bomb. The film tells the story of the crazy US Air Force general Jack Ray assigned bombers to kill the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union decided to apply an irreversible "doomsday machine" that could destroy the world to counter this nuclear threat. In this film, the frontline soldiers...

      dark humor

      Just like the black and white tone of this film, the whole film is also full of the director's black humor. The bullets are flying outside, but General Repi is still casually talking with Captain Mandek about his R plan; the Soviet Union is about to start The doomsday device of the United States, but American politicians are still meeting and discussing seemingly easily; in the end, the world is about to be destroyed, the United States is still thinking about how the living people should...

      Doctor Strange

      The camera angles of the film are classic and peculiar. In roundtable meetings, there is often a camera angle that looks from between two people, a bottom-up camera angle when a close-up of a character is taken, and a missile plane camera angle that contains human impulses and desires. The so-called peace during World War II was a false peace when both the United States and the Soviet Union possessed nuclear weapons. Both sides fear the end of the world that would result from the use of...

      cold war bound madness

      "Dr. Strangelove" is definitely an anti-Cold War theme. A mediocre director would choose to shoot the impact of the Cold War head-on, but Kubrick chose black humor to do the opposite, using countless absurd elements to form a A "Cold War" game full of sex, Nazis, race, religion. War is the conflict between one's own reason and the enemy's reason. When everyone is rational and everyone is just, everyone is irrational and everyone is guilty.

      The story...

      Dr. Strangelove

      In fact, I haven't fully understood the film Dr. Strangelove. I feel that there are many aspects. I may need to watch it twice more to have more ideas. The main content is that an American military officer who is extremely anti-communist gave orders to drop nuclear weapons on the Soviet Union. At this time, the White House held an emergency meeting and learned that only the military officer knew how to retrieve the password, and the President of the United States did not want to do so, but...

    Movie plot

    The U.S. Air Force general, Jack Ripen, is a complete lunatic. He sent his bomber to destroy the Soviet Union because he suspected that the Communist Party was plotting against the American people. The President of the United States received Jack’s suggestion. At the same time, the Soviet ambassador threatened the president that if the Soviet Union was attacked by any unknown weapon, the Soviet government would press the "doomsday...

    Behind the scenes gags

    It is said that during the filming of the film, George C. Scott was furious when Kubrick repeatedly asked him to perform excessive performances. Today, "Dr. Strange Love" has been regarded as Scott's masterpiece. Although he vowed not to cooperate with Kubrick, he really likes his performance in the film.
    Peter Sellers starred in the film for a salary of 1 million US dollars, while the film shooting budget is only 1.8 million.

    Creative background

    "Dr. Strange Love" originally originated from Kubrick's vague idea. He wanted to make a film about a nuclear accident based on the Cold War panic that prevailed at the time. With the gradual deepening of research, Kubrick realized that the "balance of fear" that exists among nuclear powers is very delicate and fragile. At Kubrick’s request, Alistair Buchan, the founder of the International Institute for Strategic Studies, recommended...

    Set production

    Because Peter Sellers was dealing with a divorce dispute and could not leave the UK, Kubrick chose to shoot the film at the Shepperton Studios in London. The crew set up the Pentagon’s war room, the B-52 bomber, and Ripper’s offices and corridors in the three main studios of the studio. The film’s art direction is Ken Adam, who has just completed "Dr. No". When designing the war room, Kubrick was very optimistic about the...

    Positive comments from

    This is an earlier film expressing the worry about the destruction of mankind caused by nuclear war. Under the seemingly cynical narrative, it is full of concern for the fate of mankind and contains a deep sense of worry. ( Comment by " Beijing Evening News " ) 
    "Dr. Strange Love" is the first of three films that Kubrick has made philosophical thinking about the future of mankind, and it is also his wake-up call for all mankind. With...

    Movie quotes

    • Lieutenant Lothar Zogg: Hey, what about Major Kong?

      Major T. J. "King" Kong: Wahoo! Waawaahaa! Wawahoo!

    • Dr. Strangelove: Mr. President, I would not rule out the chance to preserve a nucleus of human specimens. It would be quite easy. At the bottom of some of our deeper mine shafts. The radioactivity would never penetrate a mine thousands of feet deep. In a matter of weeks, sufficient improvements in dwelling space could easily be provided.

      President Merkin Muffley: How long would we stay down there?

      Dr. Strangelove: Well, let's see now, eh, cobalt chlorium G, eh, a radioactive half-life of, eh, I would think that possibly, eh, 100 years.

    • [Window in Ripper's office is shot through by automatic weapons fire]

      General Jack D. Ripper: [Walks to window] Two can play at this game, soldier!

      [Immediately, more rounds ricochet through the office, cutting down the overhead desk lamp]

      General Jack D. Ripper: That's nice shooting, soldier!
