Kubrick's opus on the absurdity of the Cold War
Most will probably say 2001: A Space Odyssey is Stanley Kubrick’s greatest film but I disagree. Dr. Strangelove I believe is his opus. That’s not only because it’s got hilarious moments but it captures how ridiculous and dangerous the Cold War was. The movie focuses upon General Jack Ripper (Sterling Hayden) deciding to start World War III by having his bombers attacking the Soviet Union and the U.S. government led by President Merkin Muffley (Peter Sellers) trying to stop him.<br /><br />General Ripper is laid out like a nut job talking about the Communists wanted Americans’ precious bodily fluids. He also said that putting fluoride in the water was a Communist plot. Ideas like that were actually talked about quite often by groups like the John Birch Society which was very popular amongst Republicans during the Cold War.<br /><br />After Ripper’s actions General Buck Turgidson (George C. Scott) argues that the U.S. should launch an all out first strike on the Soviets because America would have a good chance of winning. He tells the president only 10-20 million people would die in the United States as a result and he thought that was an acceptable number for victory. We now know that in the 1950s-60s the U.S. military planned for a pre-emptive strike on Moscow and even talked about it with President Kennedy.<br /><br />This is what Kubrick was able to portray so well in his film. The Cold War fostered all kinds of crazy ideas that threatened the destruction of the planet.<br /><br />With all that seriousness Kubrick was able to throw in plenty of dry humor. General Turgidson for example tackles the Soviet Ambassador and the president tells them, “You can’t fight in here this is the war room.” Another time Dr. Strangelove also played by Peters tells the president that Americans could go into mine shafts to avoid the nuclear holocaust. It would just take around 100 years before they could come out which starts General Turgidson talking about the U.S. having to secure their mine shafts first before the Russians did it. The light moments are what keep the story going with the serious subject matter.<br /><br />All together this is what makes Dr. Strangelove a classic and a great representation of the Cold War era.<br />C
