"Dr. Strangelove" expresses director Stanley Kubrick's anti-war sentiments in a darkly humorous way. The movie is as absurd as its full title, Dr. Strangelove, or How I Learned to Stop Fearing and Love the Bomb. The film tells the story of the crazy US Air Force general Jack Ray assigned bombers to kill the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union decided to apply an irreversible "doomsday machine" that could destroy the world to counter this nuclear threat. In this film, the frontline soldiers are all proud of their victory, even at the expense of their lives; the president has no opinion; the media is reduced to a political tool; Prosthetic limbs, but he could not help but want to salute and strangle himself all the time, and even blurted out the name of the Nazis to the superior "My Führer" many times. In the last line of dialogue in the film, the Doctor said in an excited, distorted and even slightly terrifying voice: "My head of state, I, I stand up!" There is a sense of the slow resurrection of Nazism under the Cold War, which is chilling. It is worth mentioning that in 1964, when this film was released, just over a year had passed since the Cuban missile crisis, and the third world war almost broke out, and the whole world was in a tense Cold War state. Therefore, I think this film can also be seen as a wake-up call and reflection on today's society and war.
