This clip is from "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb," directed by Stanley Kubrick in 1964.

I wish to use this video under the doctrine of fair use; I will be embedding and commenting on it in my scholarly research blog.

  • This is such a great movie. It's everything that you love about archetypes like the captain who rode the bomb down to its target, and everything we fear about political-military idiocy. I think everyone should watch this movie for all reasons.

  • Fucking ads!

  • @JaysGTA George C. Scott did not intend to play an over the top character. He tried to play a straight up character. In order to get the performance he wanted, Stanley Kubrick told Scott to do his scenes over the top in order to entertain the crew. After doing say 20 takes with Scott doing his character straight laced, Kubrick would whisper to Scott "let's do a funny take just for laughs. In the end, Kubrick used what were supposed to be joke takes by Scott.

  • Only Kubrick could make a film so intelligently humorous....

  • I read in Empire that George c scott actually fell on accident but then played it off and kept filming, and it was kept in the film.

    This movie is a black comedy and therefore the characterizations themeselves were never meant to be taken 100% seriously. Some of it might look over exaggerated or a bit cliche to some viewers but that was the whole fun of it.

    I for one think that Peter Sellers nailed the part.

  • @qazxsw9871 Clearly you haven't watched the movie.

  • "We were going to announce it on Monday" :P

  • @robbpoz Damn you, New York Times!

  • @qazxsw9871 Because US took dr Strangelove and other nazi''s back home after WW2
