In 1964, Khrushchev was removed from office.

During the Cold War, most of us still didn't know
that the world of non-fluorine-containing "liquids" was still as crazy as it is now.
If you finish watching this film with a smile, then I can't help but feel sorry for you. The people in the real world are only crazy than the guys in Kubrick's lens, and they are worse. You said, aren’t we doing well right now? The world has not been destroyed. Okay, I admit, but this is just a blessing.
If God wants to destroy people, he must first make them mad. What is madness? You have power that others do not have, ideals that others do not have, wealth that others do not have, wisdom that others do not have, technology that others do not have, or you have others. There is no "morality" and "reason". In short, you feel that you are the truth, and you are exercising your authority on behalf of God. . . . . . Once this power rises to a height that breaks the balance or is in the "group unconscious", big things will happen. People are like mit grass, and everything in the world can be surrendered to power. What is madness? Crazy is absolute will and absolute freedom, other than that, it's all normal.
But why do we still oppose the rules and checks and balances of "rationality" and "morality"? Against the head nurse in "Flying Over the Cuckoo's Asylum"? Sorry, this is a paradox. Everyone thinks that crazy behaviors will cause harm to others, so people oppose all crazy behaviors, but the only difference is that only the craziest people can control and manipulate those who are rational and rational. The "robot" of the standard, you need to find the most rational interface for your madness, the most high-sounding reason, peace, harmony, people, economy, happiness, stability, greatness, patriotism... everything is in this list.
Madness is against all other people's madness, and against all madness is true madness. Just as reason opposes all madness without disguise. What am I talking about? I'm not that crazy yet. But believe this question, Kubrick and his screenwriters have discussed it a long time ago, and probably have translated a lot of philosophical works.
