The fact that Peter Sellers didn’t win an Oscar for this film is a damn travesty. Kubrick, who was so famously meticulous, allowed Sellers to ad lib so much (most notably the call to Premier Kissoff) because he knew exactly how amazing he would make it. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts on this incredible movie!
He's absolutely amazing! Didn't even realize it was the same guy for Mandrake, Merkin, and Strangelove! I also read that George Scott was a little more extra with the because it was supposed to be practice take!
@@732ReviewCrewThe George C Scott thing is by all accounts true! Kubrick had him do each scene twice, with Scott doing one set completely over the top and the other in a more straightforward way. Apparently Scott was not thrilled when he saw which takes made the final cut. If you want to see more mainstream comedy from Sellers, check out the Pink Panther movies. He plays the bumbling detective Inspector Clouseau, and his physical comedy skills are top tier.
Those not knowledgeable or smart enough to understand the target of satire will miss the humor and the dark, underlying message -- that in a nuclear age the fate of the human race and this planet rest in the hands of people hobbled from mental frailties both common and rare.
Good Lord. The two dudes helping talk over EVERYTHING with pointless questions and observations. There is an art to being a reactor and that includes knowing when to shut up, even for dialogue you are hearing for the first time.
i cut them some slack. Amateurs giving an extemporaneous performance in front of a camera. Perhaps, they should each be able to pause the movie when they want to talk.
Great film that seemed to go over the heads of 2 of the 3. A little too subtle and sophisticated by today's standards, even with over the top names like Bat Guano, Jack D. Ripper and Merkin Muffley. Ah, well.
This is a brilliant movie. It has aged very well. Wish dialogue hadn't been talked over so much. This came after the Cuban Missile Crisis. History is important.
If you watch Raising Arizona, there is a reference to this movie; "POE-OPE" is spray painted graffiti on the bathroom door when the jailbirds are cleaning themselves up after escaping the prison.
There is no way you can understand the paranoia about Atomic Bomb attacks and the commie threat that was in society when this was made. I was in first grade and I vividly recall the A Bomb safety drills and the what to do films. This is brilliant comedy but for many it’s not emotionally connecting to those that did not live through the state of fear. For Instance, Peter Sellers’s based his President character on Adlai Stevenson, Dr. Strangelove was how Sellers viewed Henry Kissinger, and Sterling Hayden played General Ripper as a great imitation of the very controversial General Edwin Walker. But for modern reactors it might as well be Moe, Larry, and Curly. There are many great films before 1980..the key is to select ones that deal in timeless subjects. Many Westerns, Crime Stories, and Mysteries deal with greed, love, power, pride, moral choices etc. that never age. Comedies are more difficult to understand by their nature of dealing with how we view life at the time. I enjoy your reactions . You really can interact and make the viewers feel part of your discussion. Keep it up and don’t write of some very good films due to the age. Quality writing about thoughts and intentions never really ages.
I remember the duck and cover drills in elementary school where you curled up under your desk. And the fallout shelter signs on the government buildings. And the air raid siren that went off every day at noon. Had the Russians attacked at noon, everyone would have died 'cause they would have been checking/setting their watches...
@@seafodder6129 My favorite were the movies showing what to do when you were outside. You are playing and you see this bright light… drop to the ground and first try to roll against a curb and cover your head. My favorite segment showed the family having a picnic. The Dad (shirt and tie of course), Mom ( dress and pearls,)the boy and girl laughing while they ate some type of sandwich…. When suddenly there is a bright light and calmly everyone stands up, steps back, Dad and Mom pick up this gigantic picnic blanket, casually toss the food and cover themselves and the kids with the blanket and safety. Nothing protects people from a nuclear blast or radioactive material like a strong American made picnic blanket. You are so right about making sure the attack was at noon. When was the last time you can remember seeing a fallout shelter sign?)
Thank you very much for not only your kind words but your insight into some relevant things that we weren't very aware of because we weren't around when this movie came out
The Dr Strangelove character has also been suggested to be a mixture of Edward Teller (father of the H-bomb, had some wacky ideas about "useful" things to do with it) and Wernher von Braun (Nazi rocket scientist, built the V2 missile for Hitler, later became head of NASA). If you've ever seen or heard recordings of von Braun himself speaking, Sellers' voice for Strangelove is almost exactly like it.
During the Cuban Crisis I was in High School. I remember waiting in the hall for one class, and having my fellow students wondering if we would be alive to finish the class that day. That's how close we thought we were to nuclear annihilation.
This movie is satire at a PhD level - an American who doesn't know his/her country's flaws/failings is more dangerous than a Communist, a terrorist, or a National Socialist - it is fracking funny bunny that old sweet song of Mutually Assured Destruction No worries Mclovin' that bomb 🤠
You guys might be overthinking this. The movie is really only about one thing, the stupidity of Nuclear War and the concept of Mutually Assured Destruction (which was a real thing).
Gen. Ripper had Peace On Earth and Purity of Essence written repeatedly on his notepad, which is how they figured out the letters POE made up the recall code.
Damn Philistines 🤣 So many Liberties taken in this docudrama of my life. On a serious note, the film displays that it's irrational to think Nuclear war is rational or indeed anything other than a terrible accident waiting to happen, Don't Look Up is a More recent film that catches this vibe too....
As a couple of others have said, this plays heavily into the feeling of dread and paranoia around nuclear warfare. At this time, there were far more nuclear weapons ready to launch than there are now (about 3x as many). Both sides were convinced the others were about to launch, and there were several false alarms and close calls. Another aspect for General Ripper was his obsession about the "purity of our precious bodily fluids" (POE = purity of essence). Today almost all water is flouridated, but this was really just beginning in the 1950s and a lot of people were suspicious of it and distrusted it. Others were sure water flouridation was a Communist plot. Ripper, however, knew nothing about the Russian Doomsday Device. Failsafe was based on the same novel, but was a serious take on it rather than satirical. They came out near the same time, and there was a bit of controversy about it. Failsafe starred Henry Fonda and a young Larry Hagman.
Basically, this was Kubrick pointing out that the Cold War (and the politicians who supported it) was just as insane as the film he was making, in an era where Hollywood would never ever take a film like that. (e.g.: Imagine making a comedy about 9-11). This was that era's South Park.
Another movie "FailSafe" was released later in the same year (1964) as "Dr. Strangelove". "Failsafe" is a more serious film based on a somewhat similar situation.
Right, Fail Safe was scary as hell! Stanley Kubrick and the Strangelove studio sued the Fail Safe studio and director to keep them from releasing it before Strangelove could release because Kubrick worried it would hurt their sales. The actors of Fail Safe were Henry Fonda and Walter Matthau.
Enjoyed your reaction to this classic satire. Love Peter Sellers in his multiple roles. LOL at Joe & Mikey trying to guess which roles he played. He was such a great comic actor especially famous as Inspector Clouseau in the 1960s Pink Panther movies. One of my favorite Peter Sellers movies is The Ladykillers, a British Comedy from 1955 where 5 criminals planning a bank robbery rent a room from an old lady. The movie was later remade with Tom Hanks but it is not a good as the original. Peter Sellers also starred in another cold war "bomb" comedy from 1959 called The Mouse Who Roared. Not as critically acclaimed as Dr. Strangelove but still very funny it is about an impoverished backward nation declaring war on the USA, hoping to lose & get reparations, but winning.
The comedy is in the satire. Peter Sellers was a crazy genius. It's worth watching some of his other films, such as, "A Shot in the Dark," and the other original Pink Panther films.
Ripper gets his pure clean water... To replenish his pure bodily fluids.... From Lead pipes. Another serious nuclear standoff drama worth watching is "Deterrence".
Anyone who doesn't find this film hilarious obviously has had their precious bodily fluids contanimated with flouride...... Peter Sellers playing so many roles is brilliant too lol... You can't fight in here, This is the War Room....
They had to CHANGE Slim Picken's comment (using dubbing): "A guy could have a pretty good time in Vegas with all that stuff" from "A guy could have a pretty good time in Dallas with all that stuff" because of President Kennedy's assassination that happened, there, just after this movie clip was made. And yes, OBVIOUSLY, the movie scenario WOULD have been just after the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Turgetson's gum and Ripper's cigar are references to General Curtis ("Bombs Away") LeMay who was head of SAC in the early 60s was always scene smoking a cigar.
Based on real events circa 1960 ... but the bombers weren't rogue, and the Russian doomsday weapon was real ... Tsar Bomba. In this movie, George C Scott earned his job as general Patton.
Copyright holder unfortunately hit them with copy right so I had to edit those out. We put the full length for free to compensate, it felt like a lot missing sorry.
The problem is that these generals have never seen the Expanse. If they had, they wouldn't be talking about half lives so much as nuclear winter, much as asteroids kick up dust into the upper atmosphere. Much reduced solar radiation, much freezing, little photosynthesis, people starving.
The Nazi jokes have aged like fine wine. Also, there is far more truth to this movie than you would believe. The entire scenario is insane, but far too real.
I’m as perplexed about the reaction as the reaction is perplexed about the movie. Umm… Satire? You don’t need to appreciate it, but might be good to learn to recognize it.
One needs to know the historical and cultural context of the era to get a lot of the jokes. For example, you need to know what life was like for the average Soviet citizen in 1964 (and what Americans *imagined* it to be like, because ordinary people on both sides of the Iron Curtain were exposed to a lot of hysterical propaganda and had very limited access to reliable information on how their counterparts lived on the other side) to understand and chuckle at the lipsticks and stockings in the survival kit: they're for bribing impoverished Russian women into helping the downed pilots.
I lived through the nuclear crisis over Cuba. I'm wondering if I will live through the nuclear crisis over the Ukraine. Unfortunately, the entire scenario we just watched could take place in almost EXACTLY the same way today.
so now you can watch the serious movie about the same topic ! ''Fail safe'' 1964 with Henry Fonda, a masterpiece, the Kubrick movie was certainly made in comparison with the 1964 movie which is much more frightening !!!
I was born in 1964 and have seen all the great movies of the 30s, 40s and 50s. I never got people thinking Oh, well I was born on this date, and everything GREAT STARTED THEN, that's just dumb as hell. Like Mozart was born in 1756. LOL. Most modern movies are shyt tbh.
The more recent remake with George Clooney, Richard Dreyfuss and Harvey Keitel is actually pretty good too. Daringly, they broadcast it live, in a tribute to the way TV dramas used to be done back in the 50s & 60s.
Absurdism. This movie and Catch 22 do an absurdist, full-frontal on the reality we found ourselves in. Leonid Brezhnev was the new Russian prime minister in 1964 and quite the notorious boozer. “Dimitri” being drunk was a bit too close to the truth, although it probably was not widely known when the movie was made.
Please, don't do classic films anymore. You're not able to understand. Saying that "the nazi jokes did not age well" was so shamefull. Keep with superheros, Gen Z/Millenial stuff
