And its very funny how the US government would have to take on these very oppressive and discriminatory policies in a time of need, much like how in real life after the second world war, it seemed to have forgotten how it had spent 4 years fighting against very similar ideas, and ended up forgiving many perpetrators of these crimes, in order to seek some sort of gains or advantage.

      He was truely going up against problay the greatest actors of not just a generation, but in movie history.

      The Academy shocked often. Still does. The voting comes from AA members, but they are frequently blind and deaf. And a little bit corrupt, I suspect...
      My main grief is still how Mia Farrow was treated for her phenomenal role in "Rosemary's Baby" It was the acting highlight of the year. Knowing her only from TV's Peyton place, In 1968 I watched her in Polanski's film with open mouth. She was so chilllingly convincing. Polanski did wonders with the 22 year young actress.
      Halfway the shooting Sinatra presented her with divorce papers. She became depressed, and wanted to quit. It would have been the end of the film, Mia was in every scene. Paramount head Bob Evans in a panic. He showed her the rushes, and begged her to continue. He guaranteed her that an Oscar couldn't escape her.
      Evans was sincere. But she wasn't even NOMINATED....
      But this wasn't so much the Academy's fault. A staff idiot at Paramount "forgot" to send her name to the Acadamy jury. So she wasn't a registerated Oscar candidate.
      Co-star Ruth Gordon was nominated, and won for her role in the same movie. Totally deserved, Ruth stole the show, she was unique. But Ruth was in the supporting role sector. Had Mia also won the Oscar for best leading actress, it would have been genre groundbreaking. So far, horror had not been taken serious, at the Academy. And it still isn't.

Brilliant, incredibly brilliant from one of the UK's greatest ever comic actors. Dr Strangelove has acquired legendary status as the absolute epitome of black humour there is on film. I believe it was Sellars who persuaded the director Stanley Kubrick to use Vera Lynn's "We'll Meet Again" in the closing sequence as The Bomb goes off. Again: Brilliantly humourous. How does one fucking "meet again" after a nuclear war? Only a madman like Dr Strangelove could supply you with an answer it seems.

    From IMDB: Peter Sellers improvised most of his lines. And one of the most significant is in the final scene, when Sellers as Dr. Strangelove, exclaims "Mein Führer! I can walk!" According to Kubrick, "Peter said he couldn't promise to do the same thing twice. And he couldn't do anything more than two, three times. So the day we did the sequence...I had six cameras lined up and he came in and... no one knew what he was going to do, himself included."

      If Strangelove couldn't walk, he would surely be excluded from the mine shaft dwellers. So it was his only chance to survive the fallout.

    The irony is that a computer to select all those people back then didn't exist. They had the computing power (with time) but they didn't have the data.
    Now they have the data thanks to corporations.

    Watching the actors in the background is my favorite part of this performance. They are barely holding it together because in each take he is doing some new and weird movement. It must have been torture for them.
