Stanley Kubrick’s 1964 film “Dr. Strangelove or: How I learned to Stop Worry and Love the Bomb” and the Cuban Missile Crisis compare in different ways but also contrast each other in certain ways. The film by Stanley Kubrick was filmed in 1964 and was an older comedy film that almost mocks the Cold War fears of a nuclear conflict between the USSR and the United States.

Dr. Strangelove by Stanley Kubrick The film Dr. Strangelove by Stanley Kubrick receives mixed reactions, partly because of the sensitive theme revolving around war and nuclear weaponry.

Charles Maland’s argument for the 1964 film Dr. Strangelove is that it was one of the most “fascinating and important American films of the 1960s.” He backs up his argument with evidence of the films rejection of the Ideology of Liberal Consensus, its attack on “crackpot realism” and critique of life in the 1960s Cold War era, and finally its paradoxical revolution that sets an example for other films to come after.

Conceived amidst the uncertainty of the cold war, Jean Renoir’s The Rules of the Game (1950) and Stanley Kubrick’s Dr Strangelove (1964), expose how influential people behaved during times of tragedy and in the aftermath of warfare.
