Co-stars George C. Scott and Sterling Hayden. Review: Possibly my favorite film of all time... - I grew up during the Cold War with the Soviet Union (an era whose mindset this film is a product of). I remember my parents' makeshift "bomb shelter" (LOL) in our basement and periodic "test" marches from our school to the local bank vault (our nearest designated "fallout shelter"). But you don't have to have lived through that to enjoy this film. Kubrick brilliantly juxtaposed clinical realism and uproarious satire in a manner which has never been matched. The cast (not to mention the "cast-against-type") in this film is beyond compare. You'd be hard-pressed to find *any* actor in this film who wasn't superb in it, even if their roles were ridiculous or minor. George C. Scott is s-o-o-o perfect in this film, it's hard to believe that Kubrick basically used all of his *outakes" in the film instead of what Scott considered his "serious" performances. Sterling Hayden, particularly as Kubrick filmed him from down low, with a phallic cigar dramatically projecting from his mouth, is almost sympathetic in his portrayal as the deranged General Ripper. Peter Sellers is phenomenal in his multiple roles, to the point you don't even perceive you are seeing the same actor as different characters. His ad-libbing was renowned and if you watch carefully, you can see several background actors losing it in scenes as Sellers goes off on an unexpected tangent. Slim Pickens is my personal favorite--taking off his flight helmet to put on his cowboy hat "when things get tough" and arguably being given the best and most iconic scene in the entire film at the end. There is hardly a second of this film without some subtle (or not so subtle) sexual reference--whether it is the name of a character, or a geographic location or a visual cue or whatever, that makes "Dr. Stangelove" a statement on what's really behind all the power-mongering and one-upsmanship of global conflict. I know people who were disturbed by this film--ostensibly because it made light of nuclear warfare, but really because they saw themselves or others they knew reflected in the characterizations... Anyhow--best sets (courtesy of Ken Adams, who later worked on many James Bond films) which even convinced Ronald Reagan they were real, best B-52 traveling mattes, best technical jargon (particularly as spoken by James Earl Jones). And how ironic that ultimately fluoridation of drinking water (as opposed to topical application by a dentist or with toothpaste) has been shown in many worldwide studies to be ineffective in preventing tooth decay... Review: How to describe... - This movie is a total trip. Came out before I was born, so some context I did not understand when I watched it the first or even second time, but I get it now. The 4K is incredible, this movie is in black and white and 4K makes it so sharp. The only sad thing for me is, once I understood what the movie was really about, I looked to see when it came out and discovered nothing much has changed in the years in between. Still, a good watch. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | George C.
