In fact, I haven't fully understood the film Dr. Strangelove. I feel that there are many aspects. I may need to watch it twice more to have more ideas. The main content is that an American military officer who is extremely anti-communist gave orders to drop nuclear weapons on the Soviet Union. At this time, the White House held an emergency meeting and learned that only the military officer knew how to retrieve the password, and the President of the United States did not want to do so, but at the same time learned that the Soviet Union secretly created a weapon that could destroy the world. As long as the Soviet Union was attacked, the weapon would be activated. and irreversible. The president hurriedly contacted the officers, and after a struggle, the officers committed suicide to save the code, nuclear weapons were dropped on the Soviet Union, and the world was plunged into darkness. The film is a dark humorous film that satirizes those ignorant human beings who only care about themselves and cause all mankind to fall into crisis in a witty and absurd way. We have no way of knowing who was at fault. The United States, which tried to use nuclear weapons to destroy the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union, which protected itself with powerful weapons, originally had no weapons in the world, but perhaps they were planning ahead or defending themselves. When the first weapon was produced, there would be one after another. More powerful weapons were born, but in fact it was humans themselves who finally accepted these weapons.
