      When people are no longer regarded as people

      A very memorable movie. What exactly does Catch 22 refer to? I think it's some kind of weird system. This system has no fixed requirements, it serves the order issuer. "You're rich, but we're all dead." For big capital that wants to make money, it serves its greed for profit; "Every time he gets close to finishing his duty, he increases the number of commutes." For the commander, it serves Bureaucratic control...

      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, you only need the words "be us".

      At the end, I don't think the male protagonist can escape, but just gives the audience an ethereal hope. As a pessimist, I even feel...

      Catch 22: Running away is freedom

      Text / There




      should be two ways for Shen Jiake to gain freedom. One is to resist the control of himself, and find reasons and basis in the rules. Like that authoritative military rule. Another one, go to hell! What bullshit 22 mil, I move freely, so I'm free.

      So after looking at the black humor along the way, in the end, it is like getting divine enlightenment. Almost desperate, Captain Asahi heard the two brothers who came to his training ward say: A certain...

      what is crazy

      There are many war themes, and there are many interpretations of war from personal perspectives. There are still many normal people in this world, not because they are really beneficial to society, human beings, and the earth, but because they are the majority of people with unified thoughts, values, and beliefs. When the male protagonist takes pity on the dying wounded (or himself), he may not be alone, he may be affirmed by human nature. When the male protagonist berates his comrades (or...

      Ash's military service

      (2011.04.19) A military film full of satire. Whether you're crazy or not, Catch 22 grants you the supreme servitude.

      The pilot, Asu, used various methods to evade the flight mission, even accepting medals naked and hanging himself on a tree naked, but he still couldn't escape the fate of flying, until he watched the strange people around him in various ways. After taking his own life, he still survived absurdly.

      When A Xu was walking in the dark alley, passing through the...

      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...

    Evaluation action

    The movie "Catches 2 Long" isThe classic works used, the spicy language and strong sarcasm between the characters in the play have become its typical artistic features. Although it is a war-themed film, it does not show the picture of war, but expresses the absurdity of the world and the madness of people's hearts incisively and vividly with resentment, distress and ridicule. It expresses a profound sad theme in the form of comedy, so...

      Maj. Major Major Major: Tell them I'm in and ask them to wait.

      First Sgt. Towser: For how long?

      Maj. Major Major Major: Until I've left.

      First Sgt. Towser: And then what do I do with them?

      Maj. Major Major Major: I don't care.

      First Sgt. Towser: May I send people in to see you after you've left?

      Maj. Major Major Major: Yes.

      First Sgt. Towser: You won't be here then, will you?

    • 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.
