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.

    The irony is that the subtitles before the feature film did not provide any comfort at all, but made the audience even more frightened. Just like "Full Metal Shell", Kubrick's eyes on the military, ideological discourse, and men are intertwined into a set of tightly suppressed and obscenely pleasing devices that make men willing to embrace death and even the end, which they cannot grasp. The metaphors of "liquid" and women are the best catalysts to induce male paranoid imagination.

    To think of such a brazen and witty story, there must be only Ku Lao’s magical brain. The second brush still laughs decisively, and the funny phone reminds, the joy and sacrifice of the mounted missile, the miraculous standing and slogans, these magical pens are full. High-level fun and absurdity, seemingly a war game full of sharp taunts, it actually has a sharp warning effect and ironic intent to reality, and it must be served on the knees.

  • [Strangelove's plan for post-nuclear war survival involves living underground with a 10:1 female-to-male ratio]

    General "Buck" Turgidson: Doctor, you mentioned the ratio of ten women to each man. Now, wouldn't that necessitate the abandonment of the so-called monogamous sexual relationship, I mean, as far as men were concerned?

    Dr. Strangelove: Regrettably, yes. But it is, you know, a sacrifice required for the future of the human race. I hasten to add that since each man will be required to do prodigious... service along these lines, the women will have to be selected for their sexual characteristics which will have to be of a highly stimulating nature.

    Ambassador de Sadesky: I must confess, you have an astonishingly good idea there, Doctor.

  • Dr. Strangelove: Of course, the whole point of a Doomsday Machine is lost, if you *keep* it a *secret*! Why didn't you tell the world, EH?

    Ambassador de Sadesky: It was to be announced at the Party Congress on Monday. As you know, the Premier loves surprises.
