It is an anti-war film that satirizes the society under the shadow of the Cold War from all aspects. Frontline soldiers are honored for victory, even at the expense of sacrifice; the media replaces objectivity with position and becomes a political tool; generals only think about destruction; politicians only think about profit; and the president has no opinion.
The Doctor in the film is a former Nazi scientist, symbolizing the Nazi movement or Nazi theory. Although the film takes place during the Cold War after World War II, Nazi Germany has been defeated, and the Nazi ideal is just paralyzed like the doctor's body, but it has not completely disappeared from this world. The model's plans for the future of humanity are in line with the racist and superhuman ideals preached by the Nazis. When the doctor saw that his plan was finally accepted by the Americans, he could no longer restrain his inner ecstasy, and when he suggested to the president "sir, I have a plan", he also realized that he could walk this miracle. The Nazi idea, which had been paralyzed for many years, also stood up again and walked in the world like the Doctor.
