1. The power of absurd humor and irony comes from the juxtaposition and conflict of normal and abnormal, which can be seen everywhere in the film. This conflict is not only between people, but also between people and things, things and things. 2. Abnormal generals and normal commanders, abnormal generals and normal presidents, conversations between the parents of the two presidents and the tense atmosphere before the destruction of the world, and the famous line "This is the war room, you can't be here Fight!" 3. The bigger conflict comes from the absurd Pentagon and the serious crew members. On the plane, it undoubtedly adopted a filming method that is more in line with conventional war movies, without the formal shots in the war room. The actions of the characters are just right, which can be described as exemplary. 4. Their existence is undoubtedly a kind of irony to the group of people in the meeting; however, their ending is more powerful. When the captain puts on a cowboy hat, he overcomes all difficulties and opens the cabin like all heroes of American individualism. , Even when falling with the warhead, what we felt was not sublime but absurdity and hopelessness; the horn of world destruction was sounded by such a serious, serious, and responsible ordinary person for no reason. 5. Lu Xun’s words "comedy tears the worthless to others to watch" can be described as a perfect interpretation of the film.
Scenes worth remembering: 1. The airplane footage at the beginning of the movie is cut to look like an airplane dancing. 2. It's ironic. The captain took off his flight hat and put on a cowboy hat after receiving an attacking order. 3. The flight passages of the real shots were cut well, and the angle of inclination was specially selected, and the tension and movement were used to exaggerate the tense atmosphere.
