Dr. Strangelove review.

Dr. Strangelove was certainly strange, and I didn't understand why part of the name had to do with him when he barely spoke in the entire movie. Dr. Strangelove is certainly a strange character that is sort of like the other person in fail safe and can be related to Herman Kahn as well. They all believe that nuclear is possible, although Dr. Strangelove believes that the doomsday was obvious.

The movie, just like Fail safe had an ending where something was destroyed that was not meant to be. I still am a bit confused on how or why but they both have aircrafts that weren't supposed to attack that did. Herman Kahn suggested bunkers jsut like Dr. Strangelove when they talked about the doomsday machine destroying the earth up. But Dr. Strangelove's reason was for reproduction while Herman Kahn's was for survivability and a better chance to recruit other countries. The general in Dr. Strangelove also has similarities with the professor in Fail Safe. The general attacked the soviets while after the planes started to move towards Moscow in Fail Safe the Professor suggested a full scale attack.

Something I would like to know more about is the novels that had to do with these movies and other theorists that were in the cold war era tht contributed.
