Kubrick. He didn’t make that many films, but he surely focused on the ones he did. His sets were so detailed, military members were concerned he had somehow stolen top secret information.
Based on the US nuclear defense policies, Doctor Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb – ruffled a few feathers, being released in the midst of the cold war. From what I’ve researched, it may have started out as a serious film, but Kubrick realized the war policies were so absurd, it morphed into comedic satire. Perfect.
I actually have not seen the film in its entirety, so join me Saturday night at 9 Eastern at this link, and we’ll watch together. If you’d like to be warned when the stream is live, be sure to set up notifications. See you there.
