The film is very short, and I felt bored at first, but after watching it slowly, I realized the deep meaning behind the film. A group of "crazy" people lead human civilization to destruction. The theme of the film is anti-war, but the reason for the outbreak of nuclear war is absurd. In the film, the President of the United States may think that everyone except himself has entered a state of madness, but he does not know that the combat system for a nuclear strike against the Soviet Union was arrived at through "democratic" discussions, and the President of the United States also participated in these discussions. Therefore, democracy does not mean fundamental rationality, otherwise, it would not be difficult for a "rational" US president to restore serious consequences. Perhaps, General Ripa's oversensitivity and sexual problems did make him irrational; perhaps, Dr. Strangelove's yearning for the end of the world and human destruction and underground life made him seem the most irrational person; however, the end of the world It came not only from the impulses and science and technology of these two people, nor from the irreversible nuclear attack plan caused by the democratic system of the American people, but also from the Soviet Union who would be automatically triggered. "Arms of Doom". If the world is condensed into the two superpowers of the Cold War, then the destruction of mankind turned out to be caused by mankind itself, that is to say, suicide, the motive for an act that has always been defined as madness, turned out to be the insanity of most people , the rationality of most people.
