DR. STRANGELOVE: FIRST 10 MINUTES OF THE FILM

4 жыл бұрын

Nominated for four Academy Awards® including Best Picture (1964), Stanley Kubrick’s black comedy about a group of paranoia-inspired, war-happy generals who manage to initiate an “accidental” nuclear apocalypse, is horribly frightening, delightfully funny and surprisingly relevant to this day. This is the saga of two psychotic generals: Joint Chief of Staff “Buck” Turgidson (George C. Scott) and Air Force Strategic Commander Jack Ripper (Sterling Hayden), who orders a bomber squadron to attack the USSR, triggering a Soviet secret weapon, the “Doomsday Machine”, a diabolical retaliatory missile system. Peter Sellers portrays a trio of men who attempt to avert this catastrophe: British Captain Lionel Mandrake, the only person with access to paranoid Gen. Ripper; U.S. President Muffley, whose best attempt at diverting this disaster depends on convincing a boozed-up Soviet Premier it’s all a silly mistake; and the President’s advisor, Dr. Strangelove, a demented ex-Nazi scientist. Can any one of them possibly save the world?

Stanley Kubrick must have been highly impressed with Peter Sellers when directing him in the movie Lolita because Kubrick cast Sellers to play four parts in Dr. Strangelove. Besides the title role, Sellers was to play Group Captain Lionel Mandrake, President Merkin Muffley, and B-52 pilot Major T.J."King" Kong, but a severely sprained ankle prevented Sellers from easily moving inside the cramped B-52 set and the part of Major Kong was recast with Slim Pickens. All I can say is thank God that Peter Sellers had a sprained ankle because I can't imagine the movie with anyone other than Slim Pickens riding that bomb to oblivion.

The thing with this movie is that it avoids actually being very Over the Top like many Satires, and in many aspects, it's a bit more 'Grounded' Then other Comedies. I think it helps the Edge, as it mostly matches the level of Absurdity in the real world. Which I think was the intention, Kubrick initially wanted the film to be more of a Drama, but seeing just how Absurd the whole situation was, he couldn't help but laugh at it all

I first saw this film in college. Everyone laughed -- except for those of us studying history and/or political science. There is a lot of truth in this film. Peter Sellers, in addition to playing Mandrake, the President, and the title character, was to play Maj. Kong. But those scenes were to be filmed last, and Sellers was too exhausted. So they brought in Slim Pickens, telling him this was a dramatic film. It actually was intended to be a dramatic thriller, only Kubrick saw the novel did not work as a movie. So he made it a comedy. This is James Earl Jones' film debut.

He (and others) went to an airshow where a B50 was open for viewing, then repeatedly went through it, memorising as much as he could on each pass, and once outside noted it down in a notebook. This was then married to the official photographs released by the Air Force and suppliers of the B52 to provide the locations and type of kit. As to the processes, again a number of people asked different questions on each pass. It should be pointed out, some of the parts - the message encryption systems, look nothing like the service kit, but they tell the story. Some of the technology and process around authentication, in some respects (not all) was no different from the German Fighter control systems of the Second World War where authentication was provided to the messages from ground stations to airborne crews, which was public knowledge in the 60's: but that's another story. When there was a concern raised about how much he had right, and the thoughts turned to espionage, he was able to tell them exactly how he did it, at which point there was little they or anyone else could do.

The RAF flew Wellington bombers as airborne command posts with German speakers, who would send the fighters all over.The German system to overcome that, printed a target onto a paper strip with a code to encrypt it, which was very impressive as it was an airborne printer and decryption system. More impressive was that the RAF were able to break it in short order.

Before I saw the film for the first time, I remember, as a kid, stopping off at the Air Force Museum on a vacation with my parents and one sister. They already had a B-36 on display, and next to it was a Mk 17, Mod B hydrogen bomb, from the days before they learned how to downsize them. The Mk 17 had a sign next to it which said it weighed 43,000 pounds with its permanently attached bomb dolly. The bomb bay doors on the B-26 were barely long enough to accommodate the bomb, and the '36 could carry two of them, as I recall. Just seeing a bomb casing that big scared the crap out of this kid. Then I saw this movie. Comedy or not, it could scare the daylights out of you. The B-36 meant business, the Mk17, Mod B meant business, and the B-52s in the movie meant business.

In the firefight in the Airbase, Kubrick positions the cameramen just _behind_ the .30 Browning gunner and all other shooters. Notice how this little detail is enough for you to feel that you’re _there,_ involved in the firefight too, laying on the ground defending the Base like the others. Even the bullet impacts are well timed, with a credible flight time! Amazing. Because, in a real firefight you would never film in front of the muzzle. And I never saw this angle repeated in any other movie with the same effect. The man was really gifted!

What remarkable to me is that upon rewatching it, two things become clear: 1) The opening description of what we learn is the “Doomsday Device” gives away the game right there and the audience doesn’t even realize it. It’s a great misdirect. 2) Most importantly, General Ripper is exactly right when he says “There’s no way anyone can stop this now.” Once he gives the order, it’s done. There’s no way to stop it. Every decision afterwards is wrong, however well-intended. Nothing can be done about the attack.

Never really realized what a great actor Sterling Hayden was. Compare his Gen. Ripper here to his Cpt. McCluskey in The Godfather. There he was dead serious, while here he's at the height of comedy. Yet he looks and sounds the same, while somehow conveying entirely different messages. John Wayne never could've pulled off something like this.

While my son was stationed at Minot AFB years ago the new base commander ordered a general assembly. He had a few things to say. He started with a clip of General Tergidson ranting about how we had to take care of those Commie bastards. My son, having been a fan of the movie, couldn’t stop laughing. Nobody else in the assembly “got it”. They were all too young. The new colonel then remarked,”I’m glad one of you got it”.
