Yes. Distilled to its essence (of all things) in that the term was widely used in that era; I grew up in the '60s. My parents had taken me to see Dr. Strangelove when I was eight years old.
@@chrisgross5409 ...not to mention the large amount of gum George chewed throughout this movie was genius! It was like he was smoking one cigarette after another but chewing the tar out of each pack of gum instead!
Many takes of Scott were the funniest expression that Kubrick could find on his face during filming, he didn't know Kubrick would have use them, so he was very angry because of that.
Sellers was indeed phenomenal, but there was a recent Harper's article displaying drafts of the script confirming that most of this is actually written by Terry Southern.
'...it's a friendly call, of course it's a friendly call...Listen, if it wasn't friendly...you probably wouldn't have even got it" LMAO!!!!! Classic black comedy, doesn't get better than this!
***** 1. It's the continuation of the trope that the President is sharing useless pleasantries while the world is about to end. 2. If the President launched a nuclear strike against Russia and wasn't being friendly about it, he never would've called Russia in the first place. An extension of Turgidson's fanatical surprise attack plan. He inadvertently calls out General Turgidson here.
I laughed when he said "One of our men went a little bit funny in the head. You know, just a little funny." It''s funny how he treats an attacking situation so calmly.
"Vladimir, one of our men went a little funny in the head. You know, just a little funny. No Vlad, it wasn't an air force base commander, it was the president. Joe Biden went a little funny in the head."
This was not only my favorite scene in the whole movie, but probably the funniest scene in the movie as well. It's amazing how this movie still manages to be hilariously funny even 52 years after it's release. Rest in peace stanley kubrick. You will be forever missed and remembered.
3:36 “I am as sorry as you are Dimitri, don’t say that your more sorry than I am because I’m capable of being just as sorry as you are. So we’re both sorry.”- one of the best quotes 😂👌
Perfect commentary. In real life, the Cold War could be seen as two men playing chicken, with the rest of the world as their hapless passengers. Both of them probably would be rather sorry if they ended the world. Paved with good intentions etc. "I'm sorry Dimitri..."
The Phone Company...Directory Assistance...Operators, etc. controlling the situation are a running gag in this movie. See also the scene with Group Captain Mandrake, Col. Bat Guano, and the phone booth.
And the reaction of The President of the USA when he openly admitted to the Soviet Premier that one of his Air Force General went rogue and order his bomber squadron to nuke the Soviet Union.
Fishslap 33 The story I heard was that Sellers has a mishap during filming and was unable to play the role of Maj. T.J. "King" Kong, and that's when Slim Pickens was brought in.
+gbushimprov Haha Jesus I mean what was their plan? To only ever show 1 actor at a time? I mean if Peter Sellers was supposed to play every role they wouldn't be able to show more then 1 person at a time correct? I don't see how he would even be able to make the movie then because all he should have been able to do there is only show one face at a time and have everyone else with their back to him... I mean were well before the technology was capable of putting faces on different actors like we can currently do right when this film was made right?
Talking to a pissed up Premier....."The bomb Dimitri.........the hydrogen bomb" and then followed by "Well, I'll tell you what he did, he ordered his planes... to attack your country. Well let me finish, Dimitri. Let me finish, Dimitri." The pause before he almost chokes saying "to attack your country" kills me every time I see it.
And the expression on his face changes. You forget what a magnificently talented actor Peter Sellers is because you get lost in how extreme the Dr. Strangelove character is, but Sellers is also subtle and detailed.
I remember my parents and uncles and aunts watching this movie in the den during a family get-together & just laughing hysterically. Peter Sellers was a master with personas and accents. Kubrick..... so ballsy to do a movie about nuclear war as a comedy? George C. Scott was such a great actor
It's great that the President was made to resemble Adlai Stevenson -- a strong, able, and intelligent man who nevertheless came across as a bit wimpy. Image is everything.
Adlai Stevenson saved the world when he came up with the idea for Kennedy of US standing down nukes in Turkey in exchange of Soviets standing down in Cuba. Khrushchev agreed, and threat of end of world was ended.
+Blue .Effigy The decision to put the camera right down at table-level, and shoot through the arms of the actors helps as well - despite being set in a really big room the scene is very claustrophobic. When it clicks to the wide shot at 03:46 and they dial up the reverb you suddenly realise how small the president is.
Gorbachev wasn’t a big drinker, at least in a Russian perspective. Neither was Kruschev. They both drank, just not a ton compared to the others. Yeltsin definitely had drinking issues, but so did several of the Soviet General Secretaries/Premiers. Brezhnev was a renowned piss tank, just as bad as Stalin, perhaps even worse. Andropov and Chernenko also liked to partake in vodka, which is partially why they all died younger than normal (in perspective). Russia (and the Soviet Union) and her republics always had and still have a serious alcohol problem, especially in regards to vodka. There are a few interesting documentaries on it and I recommend viewing them. And it goes back a long, long ways.
I personally think that Dr Strangelove is one of the best films ever made. It’s just pure genius from start to finish. I must’ve watched dozen times. Dialogue is just absolutely fantastic and so funny. One of the best lines from the film was “what’s cooking on the big boards”
Has anyone ever noticed the running joke in this film? That is, how the phone and the phone company are pivot points and controls over the characters and their fortunes? (Dimitri, do you happen to have the phone number?...Try Omsk 411?...Mandrake needing exact change in the phone booth to avert nuclear war, etc.) Pure, satirical genius!
Did you know that in the UK, government civil servants were provided with pennies for use in a public phone box should they need to contact an aircraft base during a nuclear crisis?
Still like it? I sometimes think how scary Nuclear war must have been for my dad. But when a gun is pointed at your head 24/7 when do you.stop noticing it. What is like is we are born with.the gun pointed at our head. Do we ever eve.n see it. I think it’s a. Einstein quote that goes something like: “Man can be expected to walk a tight rope from time to time but now we must walk it for all time. Because although I cannot tell you what weapons will be used in WWIII I can tell you that WWIV will be fought with sticks and stones.”
Every outstanding actor in this memorable, 54 year old classic is dead. Peter, George Stirling, Slim, Kennen, and a host of the secondary supporting actors that made this film a treasure. They all now belong to the ages.

@@AmericanDreamer He’s so nervous & fake. It’s excellent.
Man, Kubrick knows exactly when to cut to a wide shot just to remind the audience how ridiculous this whole situation is.
TheSMLIFfilms Kubrick had a godlike purview of the silly lies and hypocrisy of human beings. He was practically a character in his movies.
He also cut away to help with the edit of the dialogue as a lot of it was improvised.
Yep, love the reverbed sound in wide shot shot as well, perfectly match the subject
Yes absolutely to that.
It looks like an alien thing hoovering over the silly conversation. Almost horror style. Amazing cut

Diplomacy more than politics.
Politics is spiteful but diplomacy is exceedingly polite.
Yeah, Peter Sellers had predicted how the Orange Moron would do politics in the future.
"Of course I like to speak to you! Of course I like to say hello!"
"I'm capable of being just as sorry as you are."
...not NOW, but any time Dimitri...
So were both sorry allright? Allright.
“Listen, if it wasn’t friendly...You probably wouldn’t have even got it..”
I love that line xD
The conversation goes exactly as if it were a love relationship. Brilliant.
A man dealing with his wife.
The first time I saw the movie I was tripping on acid and I really thought he was just phoning his gay partner
This is exactly how my first marriage ended
The whole film is about sex. Even the map board in the background depicts sperm and an egg
