In Reply to: A satire -- as "Dr. Strangelove" is -- is the artistic equivalent of "reductio ad absurdum" in Logic... posted by orejones on August 29, 2009 at 03:56:03:
It suffice for you that your political vision is realized for placing Stangelove and counting it to the first rang of goodness in the film Olympia.
Now I just saw it again after many years, and it has lost the power, partly lost, it once had.
It belong to the Vietnam and the anti war movement, it stick too much in this " Zeitgeist " to be the film you pretend it to be.
Now it is, like Victor said, one with good scenes, as most of SK films are.
A much lesser work than Barry Lindon for sure.
And I don´t know why you attack Victor on personal matter when it goes to a film.
Every one is entitle to his own view.
And mine is that Kubrick is way too much overestimate, and I had for years the highest meaning for his films.
Not anymore, of course he is one of the greatest.
