"Dr. Strange Love" originally originated from Kubrick's vague idea. He wanted to make a film about a nuclear accident based on the Cold War panic that prevailed at the time. With the gradual deepening of research, Kubrick realized that the "balance of fear" that exists among nuclear powers is very delicate and fragile. At Kubrick’s request, Alistair Buchan, the founder of the International Institute for Strategic Studies, recommended Peter George’s thriller "Red Alert", which was deeply attracted by the novel. Kubrick immediately bought the right to film the adaptation and began to work with George to adapt the script. During the adaptation process, the two were advised by a number of experts. Kubrick wanted to make the novel story into a serious drama, but when he started the first draft of the script, Kubrick remembered the principle of "common destruction." "This is a nuclear war strategy that aims to die together, and a black comedy came into being.

[Chinese Film Archive Kubrick Exhibition Screening] Re-watching the 4K version of the big screen is still overwhelming. Kubrick has a serious and funny face, heralding the madness of the doomsday in the comedy. The multi-angle narrative technique is still adept. The absurdity in the war room makes people laugh.

[Strangelove's plan for post-nuclear war survival involves living underground with a 10:1 female-to-male ratio]
General "Buck" Turgidson: Doctor, you mentioned the ratio of ten women to each man. Now, wouldn't that necessitate the abandonment of the so-called monogamous sexual relationship, I mean, as far as men were concerned?
Dr. Strangelove: Regrettably, yes. But it is, you know, a sacrifice required for the future of the human race. I hasten to add that since each man will be required to do prodigious... service along these lines, the women will have to be selected for their sexual characteristics which will have to be of a highly stimulating nature.
Ambassador de Sadesky: I must confess, you have an astonishingly good idea there, Doctor.

Dr. Strangelove: Of course, the whole point of a Doomsday Machine is lost, if you *keep* it a *secret*! Why didn't you tell the world, EH?
Ambassador de Sadesky: It was to be announced at the Party Congress on Monday. As you know, the Premier loves surprises.
