닥터 스트레인지러브 혹은: 나는 어떻게 걱정을 덜고, 폭탄을 좋아하게 되었는가? (일반적으로 이 제목을 줄여서, 닥터 스트레인지러브라고 불린다)는 스탠리 큐브릭이 1964년에 찍은 미래 3부작 (닥터 스트레인지러브, 2001 스페이스 오딧세이, 시계태엽 오렌지)중 한편이다. 닥터 스트레인지러브는 냉전의 허약한 본질과, 상호 확증 파괴(Mutual Assured Destruction, MAD)를 비꼬고 있다. 이 영화는 영화는 가상의 공군기지에서 미친 잭 D. 리퍼장군이 소련에 대한 선제 핵공격을 명령하면서 시작되고, 세상의 종말을 멈추기 위해, 미 대통령과 대통령을 보좌하는 합동 참모본부와, 리퍼 장군의 기지에 있던 영국 공군 장교가 세상의 종말을 부를 리퍼 장군의 명령을 취소하려고 시도한다.
목차 |
[편집] Plot
미공군 기지을 지휘하는 잭 리퍼 장군은 과대망상에 사로잡혀 소련을 핵무기로 공격하는 공습계획을 시도한다. 소련 공산주의자들이 미국의 수원을 오염시켜 미국인의 정결한 생체수액을 오염시키려한다고 믿고 843rd Bomb Wing에 소련으로 출격시킨다. (which is then airborne in a training exercise called "Operation Dropkick") past its fail-safe points and into Russia. He also succeeds in convincing the personnel of Burpelson Air Force Base that the US and Russia have entered into a "shooting war." Although a nuclear attack should require Presidential authority to be carried out, Ripper uses "Plan R" to send the bombers to Russia. "Plan R" is an emergency war plan to enable a senior officer to launch a retaliation strike against the Soviets if the normal chain of command, including the President, has been killed during a sneak attack. The idea behind Plan R was to discourage the Soviets from the hope that a decapitation strike against the President in Washington, D.C. would disrupt US command and control, preventing a nuclear counter-attack.
Group Captain Lionel Mandrake (played by Peter Sellers), an RAF exchange officer serving as General Ripper's XO, realises that no attack is being made on the USA when he turns on a radio and hears pop music instead of Civil Defence alerts. He attempts to take matters into his own hands by trying to recall the wing "on [his] own authority." Ripper, however, refuses to give him the code word necessary for recalling the bombers.
In the War Room at the Pentagon, General Buck Turgidson (played by George C. Scott) of the USAF briefs President Merkin Muffley (Sellers) on these developments. Although he had been unaware of Ripper's initiative, Turgidson zealously tries to take advantage of the situation to convince Muffley to launch a full scale attack on the Soviets. Turgidson believes that the United States is in a superior strategic position, and a first strike against the Soviet Union would destroy 90% of their missiles before they can retaliate, resulting in a global victory for the USA with "acceptable" American casualties of, as Turgidson puts it, "no more than 10 to 20 million killed, tops...depending on the breaks". He is shocked when Muffley instead admits the Russian Ambassador to the War Room, contacts the Soviet Premier on the Hotline and insists on giving them all the information necessary to shoot down the planes before they carry out their strikes.
Although his end of the conversation is never shown on-screen, the Soviet Premier appears to be having a drunken party. He apparently sobers up when his American counterpart tells what is happening. The Russian Ambassador then reveals to the American officials that the Soviets have constructed a doomsday machine which will automatically destroy all life on Earth if a nuclear attack is waged on the Soviet Union. The Doomsday Device is operated by a network of computers and has been conceived as the ultimate deterrent. What is more, the Doomsday Device is programmed to start its process of destruction if anyone tries to de-activate it.
The President now calls upon Dr. Strangelove, (aka Merkwürdigliebe, a former Nazi) (Sellers). The wheelchair-bound Strangelove is a type of "mad scientist", whose eccentricities include a severe case of alien hand syndrome — his right hand, clad in an intimidating black leather glove, alternates between attempting to strangle Strangelove and shooting out in a Nazi salute. Strangelove explains the principles behind the Doomsday Device. He seems to find nuclear annihilation sexually stimulating and in moments of excitement refers to the President as either "Mein President" and even "Mein Führer", the way he would have addressed Adolf Hitler.
The United States government cooperates with the Soviets in shooting the American planes down. Meanwhile American soldiers sent by the President arrive at Burpelson Air Force Base in order to arrest General Ripper. Ripper has warned his men that the enemy will probably attack dressed as US Army troops and as such the security forces at the base open fire on their own side. A scene depicts General Ripper and Colonel Mandrake attempting to defend themselves against the attackers from Ripper's office window. Mandrake continues his attempts to extract the code from Ripper. The Army divisions ultimately gain access to the base.
Ripper commits suicide in order not to give the code that will recall the planes. The feckless commander of the unit attacking the base, Colonel "Bat" Guano, fails to recognise Mandrake's RAF uniform as that of an allied nation, and believes that Mandrake is leading a mutiny of "deviated preverts" (sic) against General Ripper. However, Guano ultimately relents, and helps Mandrake to call the President to tell him the recall code, which Mandrake has deduced from Ripper's doodles. The code is OPE, based on the rearranged initials for PEACE ON EARTH and PURITY OF ESSENCE. Mandrake is forced to use a telephone booth to inform the President. Not having enough change, he tells Guano to shoot the coin box on a vending machine, which Guano, still suspicious of Mandrake, does reluctantly.
The code is issued to the planes. Those that have not been shot down by the Russians return to base. Amidst great relief the officials in the War Room hold a small prayer, from which Strangelove is conspicuously absent.
However, one B-52 ("The Leper Colony") cannot be recalled, as a Soviet anti-aircraft missile has triggered the self-destruct system of the airplane's radio (presumably designed to prevent the CRM114 code machine from being reverse-engineered should it be captured). It has thus not received the call to return to base. Damaged by the missile hit, and leaking fuel, the aircraft cannot reach its intended target, the Laputa Missile Complex, where the remaining Soviet defences have been concentrated. The plane's crew proceeds instead to the Kodlosk ICBM complex (not one of the plane's official targets, but still within its range), evading the combined efforts of both the US and the USSR to stop it.
However, the B-52's bay doors have jammed, and in forcing them open, the pilot, Major "King" Kong (played by Slim Pickens), ends up riding one of the bombs to the ground, cheering all the way. Kong straddles the bomb, gripping it with one hand and waving his cowboy hat in the air in rodeo bull riding style, whooping and hollering as he plummets to his death.
The doomsday device is triggered. According to the Soviet ambassador, life on Earth's surface will be extinct in ten months. Dr. Strangelove recommends to the President that a group of about 100,000 humans be relocated deep in a mine shaft, where the nuclear fallout cannot reach, so that the Earth can be repopulated. Because of obvious limits to space in the mines, Strangelove suggests a gender ratio of "ten females to each male." The chosen women would be selected based on their youth and beauty (to ensure their fertility), while the chosen males would be selected based on their intellectual and physical strength. The Soviet ambassador states at this point, "I must confess, that is an astonishingly good idea you've got there..."
General Turgidson, however, rants that the Soviets will likely create an even better bunker than the West, with nuclear weapons stores inside. He cautions the President that America "cannot allow a mine shaft gap" (spoofing the missile gap fears), and begins planning a war to take place when their descendants emerge a century later. During this rant, the Soviet ambassador retreats into the shadows and takes pictures of the war room display screens.
In the concluding scenes, a visibly excited Strangelove bolts out of his wheelchair shouting "Mein Führer, I can walk!", mere seconds before the film ends with a barrage of nuclear explosions, accompanied by Vera Lynn's famous World War II song "We'll Meet Again". 틀:Endspoiler

[편집] Trivia
- During the filming, Stanley Kubrick and George C. Scott had differences of opinions regarding certain scenes. However, Kubrick got Scott to conform based largely upon his ability to beat Scott at chess (which they played frequently on the set).[2]
- The photographic mural in General Ripper's office is actually a view of Heathrow Airport, London.
- The opening titles, by Pablo Ferro, proclaims, "BASE ON THE BOOK RED ALERT BY PETER GEORGE". The spelling error wasn't noticed until the final print had been made.
- "Peace is Our Profession" was the actual motto of the Strategic Air Command.
- Major Kong's B-52, The Leper Colony, has a designation similar to the name of a B-17 in the movie 12 O'Clock High. In that movie, "Leper Colony" is crewed by the worst airmen in the 918th Bombing group.
- "Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye", a traditional Irish anti-war song shares the same tune with the American patriotic song "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" and the "The Animals Went in Two by Two". The tune is used to accompany the B-52 flight.
- Among the nuclear explosions used for the final sequence are footage of the Trinity test, the bombing of Nagasaki, shot BAKER of Operation Crossroads, a test from Operation Sandstone, and, lastly, one of the massive hydrogen bomb tests from Operation Redwing.
- The doomsday weapon in the film (a "cobalt-thorium G-bomb") was inspired by the real idea of a cobalt bomb, conceptualized by nuclear pioneer Leo Szilard, founder of Council for a Livable World.
- The shadow of the B-17 Flying Fortress camera plane used to shoot polar terrain over Greenland for the movie can be seen on the ground in a couple of exterior shots of Major Kong's B-52 Stratofortress.
