Can only bow down

Imagine that the moment the earth is destroyed, the music played in the sky should be the we'll meet again Kubrick used to accompany the nuclear war. With all the ethereal and soft after release, men should feel more. At the moment when everything is gone, dancing to the music and toasting to each other "meet again", there is no more poetic scene than this.
War is an ingenious form of solving male sexual anxiety. This is the most amazing theme in Kubrick's How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.
Human behavior is affected by sexual anxiety, but it can be expressed in movies, and it does not involve the relationship between the sexes. It also adds complex and huge themes such as war, diplomacy, and politics. The expressions are clear and profound. A very funny comedy, it is already very rare, not to mention the grand and creative pictures, excellent performances and appropriate music. Kubrick, you can't be a person, you can only be a god. In front of you, I want to kneel down on my knees, thanking myself that I am not eating the director’s bowl of rice. Otherwise, what kind of frustration and despair would it be to have an impossible god like Kubrick in front?
