The film was released in the United States on December 6, 1991. What happened after two and a half weeks? The U.S. rival for half a century collapsed. Star Trek 6 is no longer just an allusion to the US-Soviet relationship in the post-Cold War era. He is discussing this issue with the audience in a big way. Take a look at the various metaphors and similes of the whole film to the real world.

1. With the explosion of the mining planet, the Klingons rejected the help of the Interstellar Confederation, and the Klingons embarked on the countdown to their extinction. Did you think of something? Chernobyl nuclear accident! Poor security management, over-development, and stubborn hostility. Isn't this just a copy?

2. Kirk and Bones were sent to the Frozen Planet, and their lines directly said gulag. . .

3. Starfleet disarmament alludes to a series of disarmament agreements reached by the United States and the Soviet Union

4. The soldiers who attempted to assassinate on both sides alluded to the interest groups within the United States and the Soviet Union that suffered losses due to the end of the Cold War confrontation.

5. Prime Minister Klingon was assassinated, alluding to Brother Maple being in a coup

6. Kirk and Spock discussed politics and mentioned the end of history. This is the theory of the famous historian Francis Fukuyama.

7. Romulan's role in it. A certain emerging power that developed wretchedly during the U.S.-Soviet struggle for hegemony?

It is not difficult to see that Nimoy still has a deep insight into the current political issues of the year. When you are used to wars and conflicts, and when peace comes, are you ready?
