Comparison of Dr. Strangelove and Fail-Safe

A matador is a bullfighter whose task is to kill the bull. The foreshadowing comes in at the end of the film when General Black's task is to bomb New York. Although he did not want to complete this task, and his wife pleaded with him not to, he still did it. At the beginning of the film, he told his wife that he was going to find out what the matador was and that it was going to be the end of him. Usually he is awaken, and at the end, his wife was pleading with him not to drop the bomb. He wife was trying to awaken him but he made the sacrifice to drop the bomb. The bombing of New York City was the end of him because shortly after he bombed New York, he committed suicide. .
             Secondly, there are intellectuals in both films. In Dr. Strangelove, the intellectual was Dr. Strangelove, and in Fail-Safe, the intellectual was Professor Groeteschele. Dr. Strangelove is a former Nazi who is an eccentric character. He is in a wheel-chair. He even talks in a strange funny voice. Dr. Strangelove is a brilliant mad scientist. Although he is not named a main character in the film, he is the one who describes why the doomsday machine is not viable. He also designs and constructs the weapons of the war which I feel is an essential role in the film. Professor Groeteschele was an arrogant cold-hearted individual. He displayed this behavior when a woman was waiting in his car asking him to take her home. The woman tried to make sexual advances towards Professor Groeteschele, but he declined by telling her he was married and slapping her. He was a political scientist who would rather have an American culture survive than a Russian one. Although he is an arrogant cold-hearted individual, he is also calm and sociable. This is displayed also at the beginning of the film, when they are sitting at a dinner party and everyone listens to him speak about what's the difference between sixty-million and one hundred million dead.
