A wonderful dark comedy film, a masterpiece worth brushing up on. The characters and plots are full of absurdities, and it is obviously a global crisis, but it makes people feel that these officers, politicians, and scientists are very leisurely, or "sick in their minds." The serious things in the past have been dissolved into lighthearted absurdity, and "sex" has been brought to the table again and again, from the metaphor of the fighter plane at the beginning, to the magazines collected by the airmen, the private life of the general, and finally in the whimsical theory of Dr. Strangelove. Got it on full display: all well-dressed, stripped is sex. Before, the audience had been curious about the reason for launching the "Red Alert" and even causing the world crisis. It turned out to be just the delusion of an impotent patient. The leaders of the United States and the Soviet Union actually talked like children. The compatriots are facing each other, which seems to be the essence of the war. The weird Doctor Strangelove appears at the end, he is the center of this weird world, he has a lot of fanatical theories, but the magic is that in this absurd world, everything makes sense, and he shows Nazi old people everywhere In front of the dignitaries of the United States and the Soviet Union, all this has become a kind of tacit rationality, because it is in the interests of the beneficiaries. Until the end of the world is a foregone conclusion, these people are still fighting for power for themselves, not for the world.
This movie is not like the past, the world is saved, whether it is because of coincidence or people's efforts, but the world is lightly destroyed, the magic is, the director did not make people feel strange or sad, this is the director's skill, Maybe that's what he wants to wake people up to.
