To understand the meaning or connotation of a movie, the movie name is the most intuitive. I checked online and the full name of the film is Dr. Strangelove, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. "Absurd" is the word that comes to my mind to describe this movie after watching the movie, and I can also get a glimpse of it from the title of the movie: Doctor Strangelove, Doctor Strange Love. Specifically, to stop the anxiety is to stop the general's anxiety about the sexual disorder in the film, which may be highlighted by the film's more explicit names and hints. In order to stop anxiety, it is absurd and bizarre to use the bomb, which is the trigger of nuclear war, as an emotional sustenance. In my shallow understanding, anti-Cold War movies rarely use dark humor. If I were to shoot the anti-Cold War, I might start directly from the cruelty of the war, which may be the gap between me and the boss. In this film, Stanley Kubrick did not bluntly express his anxiety about the military competition between the two sides in the Cold War, but used the general's anxiety about sexual barriers to reflect the absurdity of the nuclear war. Anyway, I was more anxious after watching it. .
