See the truth in the absurd

After watching this video, I just want to say that Kubrick is really crazy, he created a crazy genius. He showed us that war cannot be handed over to generals, politicians, and even human beings, so he installed a supporter of the Nazi spirit in the United States, this Doctor Strangelove, who will play the role of three in the film. The character also shows the madness of the character. How to explain "Strange Love", madly fond of war, there is an obvious display in the play, when he heard that the war was canceled, his face suddenly stiffened, and others were relieved, when the war was mentioned again , Others fell into contemplation again, but he raised the corner of his mouth, I want to say that this character is simply a prophet of the end of the world, he will do his best to push the wheel of history to the trajectory he wants, he is a lunatic , but he is also a genius. Only when the war is determined to start, his anxiety begins to stop. This also reflects the psychology of some people during the war to a certain extent. This is also an end and a beginning. But if you only define this film as a call for war, it would be wrong for a long time. Through the shaping of a series of characters in an absurd comedy way, it boldly expresses its attitude towards war from many aspects.

    Waiter: Oh, yes, sir.

  • Navigator: Sir, if we continue to lose fuel at the present rate, I estimate we only have thirty-eight minutes flying time which will not even take us as far as the primary.

    Major T. J. "King" Kong: Dogonnit, Sweets, you told me that you'd get me to the primary!

    Navigator: I'm sorry, sir. That estimate was based on the original loss rate factor, not at two zero five.

    Major T. J. "King" Kong: I don't give a hoot in hell how you do it, you just get me to the primary, you hear?

    Navigator: I'm sorry sir, but those are the figures. We'll be luck to reach weather ship at tango delta.

    Major T. J. "King" Kong: Well... shoot. We ain't come this far just to dump this thing in the drink.
