This is how it was for most people of color felt in 1968 and is precisely the problem that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was trying to present a solution for in his “ I have a dream” speech. Dr. King wrote “I have a dream” to show that segregation is an injustice that needs to be taken care of‚ but can be resolved in a peaceful manner. I think that the “ I have a dream” speech is very compelling for simple reasons; it has a decent amount of pathos‚ imagery‚ and figurative language.

Anna Hyde always knew she was meant to be somewhere else. Manhattan had its beauty‚ but it never fit with her quite right. “It honestly makes me upset when I hear kids say they want to move to New York‚” she said. “It always has‚ even before rent prices went through the roof.” She sips on her bubble tea‚ her eyes wandering for the one she loved most.

Terry Southern‚ whose sharp wit and brazen mentality was exactly the edge Kubrick was looking for (Inside). Together‚ they were able to come up with a winning combination by taking the over-all plot of Red Alert and adding comedic elements.

In my opinion this is why Dr.Strangelove has been recognized as number 26 of the 100 most important films by the
