"Dr. Strangelove" is a dark comedy film released in the United States in 1964 with the background of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. Known as the future trilogy, due to its age, it is still a black and white film, but it does not affect the vivid presentation of the characters.
At the end of the viewing, although it is not very thorough, I also deeply understand the true meaning of black comedy. It can be said to be both absurd and ridiculous. The film is about Jack, a general of an air force base in the United States, who gave an absurd order to let the air force blow up the Soviet Union. When his superiors met with the president, he also acted as a radical militant with no reason. Fortunately, the president decided to contact the Soviet Union, and only then did he know that the Soviet Union had installed nuclear weapons. Once the country was attacked, the nuclear device would automatically turn on, and the entire earth would be destroyed together. The United States and the Soviet Union reached an agreement after negotiation. The United States recalled the Air Force, but did not expect that a plane did not receive news and was shot down by the Soviet side, and flew straight to the Soviet Union.
So far, the film has the most absurd scene in the whole film. The US military discusses the plan after the nuclear explosion in the basement. The former Nazi and nuclear weapon genius Dr. Strangelove expounded his views and clarified the human desire for survival and sexuality. It means that the male to female ratio of surviving human beings needs to be 1:10, and each man has 10 women. The fat-headed official on the side said it was a surprisingly good idea. The president is surrounded by a group of politicians, and his ears are full of Soviet conspiracy theories. He is obviously the most powerful and deterrent person, but he seems to be dispensable at this moment.
At this moment, with the rotation of the stopwatch, the nuclear weapon exploded, the mushroom cloud rose, and the shock wave instantly enveloped the world, leaving no human beings on the surface. And in the safest places, views of sexuality and conspiracy theories continue to scramble.
At this moment, Dr. Strangelove got up from the wheelchair, shouted my Führer, and I got up.
The Nazis were reborn from their souls.
