The genius of Stanley Kubricks film is that it accurately represents the cold wars lunacy and dangers. Most of the characters are based on real people and real maniacs. There is no equivalent to Strangelove today, because popular culture is directed almost entirely at our interior lives, as if identity is the moral zeitgeist and true satire is redundant; yet the dangers are the same. The nuclear clock has remained at five minutes to midnight; the same false flags are hoisted above the same targets by the same invisible government, as Edward Bernays, the inventor of public relations, described modern propaganda.
