Homework Due Tuesday 5/12

Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb was a film made in 1964 directed by Stanely Kubrick. Dr. Strangelove and Fail Safe were very similiar in the sense that they were both out at the same time and they were both about nuclear war and fear of nuclear annhilation. Although they were very similar I enjoyed Dr. Strangelove more than Fail Safe because it kept me interested and it was very funny at times.

Dr. Strangelove follows a mentally unstable U.S Air Force general who orders a first strike nuclear attack on the Soviet Union. As the movie progresses General Ripper finds himself with a problem, like Fail Safe. Unlike Fail Safe, Dr. Strangelove pretty much made fun of the problem they were in. Although one of these films had humor, both had the ideas of Herman Kahn in them.
