Schoolyard gossip
We’ll meet again don’t know where don’t know when indeed
I have 1 more Kubrick film after this one to enjoy with novelty until my life marrow deteriorates, my skin becomes sallow… yet none of that will happen and life will go on
‘Gentlemen you can’t fight in here, this is a war room!!’
The dialogue swinging from great convicted argumentation to almost satirical baby talk when it comes to calling about the bomb ‘Dimintri… Diminiti, can I just- DIMITRI!!’ … it was a really interesting approach making a film that circulates around a discussion chamber of militant strategists instead of injecting the audience into the instancy of the battlefield itself. Very speculating really, dialogue was the art that pushed this aspect through
Hard to watch as a film but excellent play script
‘Deterrence is the art of producing fear in the enemy’
My attention really didn’t span for this one.
But Dr Strangelove was a great character to push the conversation to speculative with great foresight, and of course great acting
