    Alan Arkin is always ready to laugh. . The golden scroll Art Garfunel is very cute, and of course the sweet priest! Even if I haven't read the book, I think the story line of the movie is very confusing. When I saw the "madness" shouted at the Bridge on the River Kwai at the end, I think it's right to have an anti-war...

    After watching it for a few minutes, I couldn't watch it anymore. The switching back and forth of the camera and the characters and lines that couldn't be connected in series made me so...

    Has that "messy" feel that I really like. The staggered and condensed editing techniques and the restrained and steady audio-visual design provide a solid and reliable internal development stage for the accumulation of intangible events, forming an overall absurd and bizarre experience atmosphere and keeping discrete and irrelevant narratives in direct feelings. While relatively coherent and consistent, the satirical intention of specific events is most effective and perceptible, and it is very...

    I didn't understand a lot, and there were a lot of repeated scenes, such as the scene where someone secretly fell with a "knife" at the beginning, "Save him! Save him!", all of which were repeated at least twice. A lot of comedy elements, but this kind of comedy is obviously not its own...

    Escape with a kayak -- just a psychological sustenance

    After watching the whole film, I felt absurd and absurd from the beginning to the end, and the phrase "becoming us" at the end made me connect to my work, including the information on the Internet, and I burst out laughing. You see, it's so difficult to stick to the principles, and to be smooth,...

    Black humor, now they call it nonsense

    Looking at this 1970 poster, it took you a few seconds to think of the famous hanging poster of Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu"?
     
    I read the original novel when I was a sophomore in high school, and it was my favorite among dozens of modern literature at that time. After all these years, the only thing I...

Catch-22 quotes

  • Capt. Nately: Don't you have any principles?

    Old man in whorehouse: Of course not!

    Capt. Nately: No morality?

    Old man in whorehouse: I'm a very moral man, and Italy is a very moral country. That's why we will certainly come out on top again if we succeed in being defeated.

    Capt. Nately: You talk like a madman.

    Old man in whorehouse: But I live like a sane one. I was a fascist when Mussolini was on top. Now that he has been deposed, I am anti-fascist. When the Germans were here, I was fanatically pro-German. Now I'm fanatically pro-American. You'll find no more loyal partisan in all of Italy than myself.

    Capt. Nately: You're a shameful opportunist! What you don't understand is that it's better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

    Old man in whorehouse: You have it backwards. It's better to live on your feet than to die on your knees. I know.

    Capt. Nately: How do you know?

    Old man in whorehouse: Because I am 107-years-old. How old are you?

    Capt. Nately: I'll be 20 in January.

    Old man in whorehouse: If you live.

  • Maj. Major Major Major: Is something wrong?

    Tappman: No, no. I... just thought I saw something.

    Maj. Major Major Major: A naked man in a tree?

    Tappman: Yes, that's it.

    Danby: [looking through binoculars] That's just Yossarian.
