I just watched this film, and the first thought in my mind was, isn’t this a satire of Brexit?
The captain of the Dreadnought received the order of a nuclear attack and shielded all external information to launch a nuclear attack. Then the president and the admiral who issued the order found that it was a trap, and it was impossible to revoke them. In the end, they could only order another Titan to attack the Dreadnought, and the Dreadnought had to attack the Titan in order to ensure the execution of the order.
The British leaders got their heads and handed over the decision to leave the European Union to the people. The referendum turned out to be a withdrawal, but the politicians don't want to bear the bad consequences of the withdrawal, what should be done? So a long wrangling process began, and the rationality of democratic voting was also questioned.
The situation in the song of the wolf is more like a chain of suspicion under the dark forest. The premise of the chain of suspicion is poor communication. If the general or the president can board the Intrepid and explain in person to order the captain to stop the attack, the situation will be much simpler. When the information is fully communicated, the chain of suspicion is difficult to exist. It is because the captain will shield all external information after the nuclear launch order is executed, and the artificial rules have turned the order into an irreversible process, which eventually led to a situation of cannibalism.
In contrast, the problem in the UK is very weird. Communication cannot be said to be unsmooth but has formed a situation where it is difficult to overcome. If you have to find a reason, it may be because people's hearts are unpredictable. Politicians do not accurately grasp public opinion and do not want to act in accordance with "public opinion."
From this point of view, when setting rules, we must fully consider all possible consequences and be prepared as much as possible. Once there are unexpected consequences—it will certainly occur according to Murphy’s Law—be prepared to bear the consequences. The human society is like a running program, and various rules are like the code of the program. There are always bugs in the code, problems are found, and problems are solved.
