The black and white tone seems to exaggerate the cruelty of the war; the comedy soundtrack makes the film absurd. The clown-like meeting discussion in the war room, the clutter of chewing gum on the conference table, the expressions and body movements of Dr. Strangelove as he speaks, and even his standing, all seem especially absurd. Every call scene in the film seems to be talking to itself, which is incredible. The final scene of the film is the explosion of the nuclear bomb, which is desolate and even more contemplative. In my opinion, the anti-war ideology of the film can be reflected in the phone call between the President of the United States and Domitri. The president's reluctance to activate the doomsday device also implies that he does not want to see the outbreak of war. In fact, the use of comedy to express the war makes the film somewhat obscure and difficult to understand, and the dark humor in the war is also somewhat difficult to understand. Perhaps only those who have experienced the war era can understand it deeply.
