The last football game is the most important stalk. Colonel Henry and Hot lips, who have been the most stubbornly adhere to the orthodox authority of the army in the field hospital, are also completely crazy, implying that opposing war is the common aspiration of everyone, but some people realized early that some brainwashed people need a process.
The director's narrative method is not fancy, and basically follows two main lines. One is the operating table of a field hospital, with bloody operations and dull long shots, reminding the audience of the cruelty of war. The other main line is the protagonist's unruly things in the military hospital. All the so-called military discipline and honors of high-sounding are ruthlessly torn apart and crumpled into comic stories of laughter and scolding. There are many small details that can be digged into, like Radar’s self-determined transmission of the commander’s order, which needs to be experienced slowly.
After decades of anti-Vietnam War and anti-Iraq War films, one after another, one by one made a lot of bitterness, and I have never seen such an interesting film again.
