. It seems that watching Lao Ku’s films always requires a lot of homework, the metaphors that flood the film, and the background of the filming. If you don’t understand, you must fully understand that unless it’s a talented and unusually gifted
library, the film has been discussing where humanity will go, hope, worry, despair... The
same is true for this film, but the focus is on the Cold War, politics, Military and nuclear missiles, women here are still just the foil and the object of sexual tolerance, like a cup of soaked tea. At the end of drinking, I finally understand that it is another black humor, mocking politicians and military officers, satirizing the cold war, and the arms race. , And the illusion of male rights.
As a woman, a woman who has no interest in weapons and nuclear missiles, this film is really boring. As soon as she touches a professional, she falls into the cloud and mist, and she never understands who Dr. Strangelove is? Is that the doctor in a wheelchair? I don't think so.
There is no protagonist in this film. It just talks about an absurd thing, and the reactions and measures of relevant personnel during the process of this incident. What strangelove may want to show here is the attitude of these people to this matter, which is absurd but also in line with human nature's deformed love.
The first is the paranoid General Riper who started the war. His expositions on body fluids and essence are very much like Hitler's ideas. This kind of escape and even the ultimate hysterical resistance caused by fear and nothingness is just distorted. The embodiment of personality.
Next is the pilot Major General Magor Kang. His response represents the state of most soldiers. He was fooled by crazy and blind propaganda and enlightenment. He thought he had taken the heavy responsibility of saving the country and the people, and promoted this blind faith. Until the moment of death, he was still sitting on the nuclear bomb and cheered (I think this shot is a bit unrealistic. How can there be such a loud cheering if a person is sitting on a nuclear bomb that is falling rapidly).
Hehe, the next one is General Buck who has a leg with the secretary. Sitting in the Pentagon and talking about "sex" with the secretary, he also has a hostile attitude towards communism. Once he is provoked, he will pierce his whole body, impulsively. The militant fanatics, and the big chewing gum (frivolity), the whispering and non-marginal speaking, is one of the most obvious ridiculous characters in this film.
Then there is the President of the United States, who seems moderate and humanitarian, but is actually humble and incompetent.
Next is the sneaky and bluffing Russian ambassador, who also has a narrow prejudice against capitalism and is also paranoid.
The image of Dr. Strangelove who appeared last is even more ridiculous. Maybe we shouldn’t laugh at the half-paralysis, but the right hand (paralyzed) raised up (cheering to Hitler) from time to time is ironic. His theory , If the end of the world machine is activated, the human elite retention plan, it sounds a bit copy "Noah's Ark", but the difference is that his selection mechanism is done through the computer, of course, politicians and military strategists first, that is to convey the orthodoxy Civilization, I really don’t know if his brain is rigid or flattering to politicians, and with a 1:10 ratio of men and women, the mission of these "elites" has degraded to succession. At this time, the General Buck still regretted: "Then Can't men be single-minded?" Contradictions were repeated and ironic,
and the treatment of the spicy pictures and music was the same. When the bomber received the order to set off, the majestic and high-sounding music listened to such grandiose sounding. But a paranoid with weak mentality
