As I'm sure most of you are aware, the full title of Dr. Strangelove is Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. Since the movie doesn't seem to be from any one person's point of view, I have to wonder: who is the "I" in the title referring to? I thought maybe it could be President Muffley or General Turgidson. At the end of the movie they are both optimistic about Dr. Strangelove's plan to
survive the nuclear fallout in mineshafts, with a 10:1 woman to man ratio of survivors.
It could also refer General Ripper, since he worries about the Communists contaminating his "precious bodily fluids" and the bomb is his solution.
