Demitri: Don't you like to speak with me? Don't you like to say Hello?

[Peter Gerstenzang]

Well the movie is great, regardless. But yes, there are a lot of guys in this movie who are either impotent or into sex. And we can see who's gonna survive. And who blows their brains out.

[Eric Kinney]

getting a little Freudian, aren't we?



[Peter Gerstenzang]

Renard, he's right. Buck is going to survive because he's sexually healthy. From the opening scene to the end, when he's psyched about repopulating the world. Slim Pickens talks about prophylactics, Strangelove talks about sex, Pickens riding that missile, it looks like a big penis and on and on

Oh. Just call Omsk information. OK then.

Bucks face at 2:51 is priceless

As you suggested, I've just read several online essays. Interesting, but I wonder if their fantasies are riding too high? Reminds me of the guy undertaking a psychological test, when the doctor drew a circle and asked what it indicated. "That's a couple having wild sex, doc." Doctor drew a square. "That's a threesome in bed," drools the guy. Eventually the doc exclaims, "You see sex in everything! You must be a sex maniac!" The guy responds, "Me? It's you who's drawing all the dirty pictures!"

Kubrick filled the movie with sexual references from beginning to end, and satirized, via reductionism, war essentially being nothing more than penis envy. Do a search for "dr. strangelove sex" and see for yourself. The emphasis on sexuality throughout the film is what makes it so funny.

Literally the greatest scene in cinema history.

[renard801]

Well now, I have watched it many times without coming to any such conclusion! And I think it is a spurious one. Yes, Jack D. Ripper "withholds his essence", but that's about the only reference to sex in the whole movie.

It is simply a glorious satire about the Cold War, the era of 'Mutually Assured Destruction'.

It is also recognised as one of the greatest comedy films ever made.
