John Wayne, one of the best Stanley Kubrick films

Wayne rose to fame in the thirties of the twentieth centuryAnd throughout the 1940s and 1950s, he built it in Hollywood The final stronghold of masculinity. Wayne did not have much of the scope as an actor, and John Wayne usually plays, but his character type has proven to be flexible in certain types of popular gender. He was a Western star and a cinematic star of the war, and was the meaning of the meaningless Rah-Mamerica, who was eagerly eaten by the masses. With Wayne’s surrender in the 1960s, however, many of his image began to distort. This was mostly because the times were changing, types of Westerners and war films whose title was Gucci with a new generation. The anti -war feelings were more popular than the pro -war propaganda that was issued in the aftermath of World War II.

One can see Wayne struggling with the notorious stinky “The Green Berets”, a movie that tried to apply the feelings of the old World War to the Vietnam War. It was not sensitive, and criticized critics. John Wayne is no longer needed as a national symbol.

In fact, early in 1964, when Wayne was making films like “The Sons of Katie Elder” and “InSh’s Way”, some movie makers were already looking to exploit Wayne’s image for satirical purposes. The extremist masculinity of Wayne was no longer fashionable, and some film makers in the 1960s were keen on that. An example of this: Stanley Kubrick once shown on Wayne a role in his political spelling, “Dr. Strantjelov, or: How I learned to stop anxiety and love the bomb.” The story says that Cubrick wanted his star, Peter Cells, to play four different roles in the movie, but an injury forced him to keep it to three. He asked Cubic if Wayne will take over the fourth round, a B-52 Bomber pilot called Major Kong.

Wayne never responded, so Kubrick threw thinness instead.

For those who are not familiar, “Dr. Strangjelov” is a satirical simulation of nuclear spread. A general of the crazy American army named Jack d. Riber (sterling Heiden) obsessed with communism evils and bent in soft conspiracy theories on how Commies is planning to overcome precious physical fluids (!). As such, it surrounds the usual security protocols and launches a nuclear strike against Russia. The film occurs in the period between when Ripper gives the arrangement and the time when the bombs are released.

There are three sites all the time. At the Ripper Office, the general tells his conspiracies madly of a visiting British officer named Lionel Mandrick (sellers). In the United States War Hall, the president (sellers) discusses possibilities with dozens of confusing suits, including Pak Torgidson (George C Scott). A former Nazi doctor, Dr. Strangevov (sellers) is also the president, and he has a very strange offer on the Day of Resurrection.

The third site on the B-52 launcher I received the matter to drop her nuclear load On Russia. Slim Pickens Pilot Bomber’s, Major Kong, the role that sellers was supposed to play. As confirmed by the screen writer, Terry Satarn, in A 2008 interview with an intermediaryKubrick has actually wrote the role of Major Kung Lesb, John Wayne, and wanted the sellers to do something of the impersonation of John Wayne. When the sellers came out, Kubrick felt that it should only swing for the fences and try to use the real deal. The south said that Wayne was approaching, but “he refused it immediately.” An article in the mental threadHowever, he said that Wayne never responded.

It is clear that the star “Banza” Dan Blocker was also asked to play Major Kong, but he presented the text to “Pinko”, a colloquial term engraved for being left. Fortunately, Slim Pickens was a game, playing the part well. From the famous, Picins did not know that “Dr. Strangjelov” was supposed to be spelling, so he played his role completely straight.
