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.

    I'll continue to be vulgar.

    Sellers is too wild. The wildest is Lao Ku. Black political comedy is the first, and there are some narrative rhythms and patterns that feel like they are also used in Yes Minister. The 35mm seen in the museum, the viewing environment and the audience's understanding of the film text are superb. When I watched it at home, I didn't find it so interesting.

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb quotes

  • General "Buck" Turgidson: It'd be naive of us, Mr. President, to imagine that these new developments would cause a change in Soviet expansionist policy. I mean, we must be increasingly on the alert to prevent them taking over other mine shafts space, in order to breed more prodigiously than we do. Thus, knocking us out of these superior numbers when we emerge! Mr. President, we must not allow a mine-shaft gap!

  • General Jack D. Ripper: Were you ever a prisoner of war?

    Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Well... yes I was, matter of fact, Jack. I was.

    General Jack D. Ripper: Did they torture you?

    Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Uh, yes they did. I was tortured by the Japanese. Jack, if you must know; not a pretty story.

    General Jack D. Ripper: Well, what happened?

    Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Oh, well, I don't know, Jack, difficult to think of under these conditions; but, well... what happened was they got me on the old Rangoon-Ichinawa railway. I was laying train lines for the bloody Japanese puff-puff's.

    General Jack D. Ripper: No, I mean when they tortured you. Did you talk?

    Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Ah, oh, no... well, I don't think they wanted me to talk really. I don't think they wanted me to say anything. It was just their way of having a bit of fun, the swines. Strange thing is they make such bloody good cameras.
