Deviousness |
On the one hand, I'd object to this due to her being perhaps the first feminist in history. Being the Greco-Roman Goddess of wisdom and warfare, she does not seem very girly. On the other hand, I found this little tidbit on the TV Tropes page for Dr. Strangelove under the category "Freud was Right".
A central theme of the movie is the portrayal of sexual symbolism as more than symbolism; Kubrick paraphrases Clausewitz "war is the continuation of sex by other means" without much room for interpretation. The opening refueling scene of two bombers "coupling", Mandrake attempting "preversion" with a vending machine coin return slot, the not-even-veiled sexual references that drive the madness of General Ripper (he has a profound feeling of emptiness after the physical act of love). and the very meaningful names of the two warmongers (him and Turgidson) who push against the peaceful one (Merkin Muffley). Near the end there is yet another Mood Dissonance when the characters are happily planning a postnuclear scenario where the male to female ratio would land them with their own harems to repopulate the world.
I don't think I need to explain anything else except what she could imagine her spear to be sometimes. [link]
Great image.
Then again, maybe it's just because you're among the few able to draw sexy girls at a similar level to him! Delicious...
