    Dr. Qi Ai or how I learned to stop fear and fall in love with bombs, I have to give this name five stars. Sellers is too good at playing the sub-triangle and it has become a good story to play with Scott and Hayden as well as the cowboy captain. The metaphor of cold humor and irony of war has reached madness, the obsessive-compulsive display of the details of the mechanical process. The mission that cannot be stopped is like a nightmare, as if seeing Ku Lao mocking stupid humans in outer space. Archive retrospective

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb quotes

  • General "Buck" Turgidson: It'd be naive of us, Mr. President, to imagine that these new developments would cause a change in Soviet expansionist policy. I mean, we must be increasingly on the alert to prevent them taking over other mine shafts space, in order to breed more prodigiously than we do. Thus, knocking us out of these superior numbers when we emerge! Mr. President, we must not allow a mine-shaft gap!

  • General Jack D. Ripper: Were you ever a prisoner of war?

    Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Well... yes I was, matter of fact, Jack. I was.

    General Jack D. Ripper: Did they torture you?

    Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Uh, yes they did. I was tortured by the Japanese. Jack, if you must know; not a pretty story.

    General Jack D. Ripper: Well, what happened?

    Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Oh, well, I don't know, Jack, difficult to think of under these conditions; but, well... what happened was they got me on the old Rangoon-Ichinawa railway. I was laying train lines for the bloody Japanese puff-puff's.

    General Jack D. Ripper: No, I mean when they tortured you. Did you talk?

    Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Ah, oh, no... well, I don't think they wanted me to talk really. I don't think they wanted me to say anything. It was just their way of having a bit of fun, the swines. Strange thing is they make such bloody good cameras.
