In "Dr. Strangelove", Kubrick satirized and revealed the animal nature of the root cause of war, sex, body fluids, androgen, similar to a male aphrodisiac, and also the private vent of a few powerful and sexual fanatics , Dr. Strangelove who finally stood up from the wheelchair and the uncontrollable right-hand Nazi salute is a naked reveal, and this film puts the criticism and reflection on the war in the course of the war and inside the army.

A battle against Ant Hill, a battle with no chance of victory, but the French general Blollard still insisted on ordering Captain Dax to lead the army to carry out this suicidal attack. As a soldier, Dax had to obey the order even though he knew it was a death sentence. The three soldiers who were inquiring about the enemy camp at night accidentally killed another comrade-in-arms with a grenade because of the cowardice of one of the generals. Afterwards, he asked another witness to hide it This is the first time in the film that people's fears and rights can hide the truth. The French army was defeated by heavy German artillery fire, and many French soldiers did not even go out of the trenches under the fierce artillery fire. At this time, Brollard ordered to fire on his own army, the purpose was to blast them out of the trenches and rush to the enemy's position. This crazy act revealed the selfish desires of the rulers. But it is very important for the general to establish his own honor and reputation. Others are hell. In a sense, your own talents are the ones who really want your life. Going back, you will return to "Dr. Strangelove". The three unfortunate scapegoats were sentenced to death by the military court. This is the only way for Brollard to repair his dignity and honor. The three unfortunate scapegoats did not go out or return halfway in the trenches. They have their own reasons and difficulties, but fundamentally The reason can only be fear, fear of death, but the desire to live is the instinct of human beings, but at this moment it has become the evidence of the sentence, and the anti-humanity of war can be seen in such a ruling. Dax is the only character with a sense of justice in the film. He knows everything well and tries to stay away from the black hole of humanity, but his identity as a soldier forced him to be tied to a war machine and become a part, leading the soldiers Rush to the enemy camp again and again, this is a circle with no solution and no exit.

    1. The name of Path of Glory is ironic, and this film exposes the indifference, intrigue and calculation leading to this path. 2. The few moving shots in the film also constitute a satirical contrast. The lateral movement on the battlefield and the banquet constitute a sharp contrast. In addition, the push in the trenches and the push before the execution. The contrast is like a lament for the fate of soldiers.

    Soldiers are precarious on the front line, officers are drinking and drinking in the rear, human nature is despicable / the war is ridiculous, but recalling the sweet singing, the tears in the corners of the eyes, no matter how cruel the world is, there is always a bright side of human nature; crimes such as cowardice in front of the enemy How heavy? Controlling the fragile life to use him recklessly. In the past, there were always people who wanted to use war to become famous. In fact, they were just randomly drawn cards and were at the mercy of them.
