Kubrick's innovation in transforming a serious drama into a black comedy

Was there a pie-throwing scene in the climax?

By the way, this movie was originally planned to have a completely different climax. It was a "pie-throwing" scene in the strategic meeting room. The Soviet ambassador was the first to grab one and throw it, and it hit the president in the face.Then, a World War III-like wave of pie bombs flew all over the room, and the hit was covered in cream. The story is about a transformation into great chaos.

In fact, the filming took two weeks, and 2,000 pies were prepared every day. At first, everyone was laughing, but as they gradually became covered in cream, their discomfort grew. Regarding the reason for cutting out all the scenes shot up to this point, Kubrick said, ``It became too much of a farce and didn't match the overall tone of the movie.'' (quoted from ``Stanley Kubrick, the Film Director,'' p. 208) I'm listing what I felt.
