On the surface, the film is full of political satire on the inexplicable nuclear fear of the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War. However, the strategy room of the Pentagon is all men discussing the possibility of how humans will survive the half-life of nuclear radiation in the ground after the war. For example, if the elites want to survive and reproduce underground, they must choose a ratio of 1:10 between men and women, and maintain their superiority through anthropological screening. It is reminiscent of Hitler’s joy division (the character who made the proposal-peter sheller (Peter Sheller) Scherer plays the triangle, the President of the United States/Dr. Strange Love/Adjutant in the British Air Force)-obviously mocking the post-war German Nazi scientists absorbed by the United States), and the aggressive nature of humans (especially men). The film begins with a B-52 bomber aerial refueling clip, which is full of sexual meaning. The names of the characters in the film are also reminiscent of the relationship with sex. Jack D. Ripper, like Jack D. Ripper, was created by the famous spring killer Jack the Ripper in London. Evolved, and Ripper’s reason for launching a nuclear war was that he found abnormal body fluids (sexual impotence/disorder?!) in a one-time act, so it was suspected to be Soviet Russia’s aggressive plan and secretly added fluoride to human food; the ending B-52 pilot King Kong carried a cowboy hat on his head, riding a nuclear bomb and fell to the ground, playing with the image of a western cowboy that American men are proud of. In the movie <
In the film, the president ordered the attack on the US military’s own air force base, just as there are many real nuclear test explosions in this film, which reminds me of an article I wrote earlier <
Finally, I put on the ending credits of a famous scene in movie history with We'll Meet Again (vocalized by Vera Lynn) as the background song. The beautiful melody and the horrible images matched with it made me admire Kubrick's prophetic insights.
