In Reply to: Is "Dr. Strangelove" Kubrick's masterpiece?? posted by Mike K on August 22, 2009 at 13:50:44:
One of them is sense of proportion and knowing where to stop. Kubrick lost there on these counts. The out of control arm scene is so ridiculously primitive, it is capable of single handedly destroying any claim at greatness. Masters just don't make such mistakes. Throughout his career Kubrick remained the master of scenes, but not of films. His early works might be the exception to that rule.
