The story concerns an unhinged US Air Force general, Jack D. Ripper, who orders a nuclear attack on the Soviet Union, and follows the President of the United States, his advisors, the Joint Chiefs of Staff and a Royal Air Force (RAF) officer as they try to recall the bombers to prevent a nuclear apocalypse, as well as the crew of one B-52 as they attempt to deliver their payload. The main plot can't tell the true intention with no details, some interesting details, which we neglect, hide deeply in it, ,as we all immerse in the gripping plot and big laughs.
Originally, the whole story began because of the crazy general, Jack D. Ripper. This weird soldier develop a strict theory that he must start the nuclear war to kill all vodka communist people in the evil Russians, for they began fluorizating water and this method had been introduced to American. The general Jack thought that fluorization of water was the most monstrously conceived for foreign substance was introduced into their precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual, and without any choice. When did this scientific hypothesis inspire him? After SEX. He said” II first became aware of it, Mandrake, during the physical act of love. Yes a profound sense of fatigue, a feeling of emptiness followed. Luckily I was able to interpret these feelings correctly: loss of essence. women sense my power,and they seek the life essence. I do not avoid women, Mandrake, but I do deny them my essence." Impotence depressed this poor general, naturally he made up a theory to rescue his masculine pride.
One male do crazy thing, pushed by sexual desires, like the general, and none can image what will happen when a group of male hypersexualitists get together .Facing the disaster, DR. Strangelove suggested that all male elites should move into the cave and each one should have 10 sex young females “which will have to be of a highly stimulating nature”, on which, politicians fell into sexual excitation totally. These politicians talk in high-sounding tone in public, but they can't hide their desire for SEX.
Some details should be added. General Turgidson was trysting with his female secretary when emergency calls rang. Harmoniously, the premier of the Soviet Union was busy with important affairs of sex too. In the end of the movie, captain ridded the atomic bomb to fall , and that bomb was actually an obvious implied metaphor of an erected penis.
The issue of sex flooded in this movie, which we can draw a conclusion with a sentence of Freud: sexual desire is the drive behind everything, including violence and war.
