A Critique of the film Dr. Strangelove

Dr. Strangelove is a 1964 film that was produced and directed by Stanley Kubrick. This is a black comedy whose history is very close to the most serious breaches of security film. Dr. Strangelove was based on the novel Red Alert serious.

As the opening credits of "Dr. Strangelove" roll, we see a tanker boom in a rigid insert a B-52 bomber and the unloading of fuel that the two aircraft simultaneously.

Sellers also plays an important role as a third group of RAF Captain Mandrake. But I think the most brilliant performance was filmed by George C. Scott as a child, but bellicose, Gen. Buck Turgidson, a man from the U.S. Air Force (www.tigersweat.com).

The story of the film is the psychotic, hate communist General Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden) understands itself to send 34 B-52 under his command to attack the Soviet Union with nuclear weapons. When discovered by the President Muffley, bringing together about 25 advisers, including General Turgidson and Dr. Strangelove, in the War Room in the Pentagon to address the crisis. But it seems that nothing can keep a B-52, led by Grand cowboy "King" Kong (Slim Pickens), the performance of its nuclear charge of the USSR, which provoked a Russian device known as the "Doomsday Machine", all beings destroy human and animal life on Earth (www.tigersweat.com).

Sound Technique and Photography

A good, sharp transfer of the black and white film that shows little graininess. There are a few scratches, nicks, and imperfections that run throughout the movie, but they're not bad for a 36-year-old film. The movie is presented in the multi-aspect ratio of the original theatrical release which switches between full frame 1.33:1 and a rather odd semi-letterboxed 1.66:1. All in all the Dr. Strangelove DVD is a high-quality transfer with excellent contrast that really brings out the detail of this ...
