The anti-war theme is unparalleled, five points recommended

An old film full of fun. The various things that happened in a front-line field hospital during the Korean War are incompatible with the image of a serious soldier. Just picking up girls and making a man, the fake funeral of the dentist has turned into a special treatment for men and a breakthrough in rebellion. New heights... Suddenly I remembered Feng Xiaogang's "big name", he was also the starring brother, is it a tribute to this film?
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.

    There are a few places where I die of laughter, one is the hot lip bathing and getting straightened, and the last point of playing football. Hahaha, it's rare that there are very few films that can make people laugh so happily. recommend.

    Finally, the movie where "Suicide Is Painless" is from. Somehow the handsome young Donald Sutherland and his throaty voice reminds me of Kat

MASH quotes

  • Hawkeye Pierce: Frank Burns does not know his way around an operating theater, he does not know his way around a body. And if you will have observed anything, you will have observed that Major Frank Burns is an idiot. He has flipped his wig, that he's out of his head, that he's a lousy surgeon.

    Hotlips O'Houlihan: Oh on the contrary, I have observed. And Major Burns is not only a good technical surgeon, he is a good military surgeon. I have also noticed that nurses as well as enlisted men address you as "Hawkeye".

    Hawkeye Pierce: Yes because that's my name, Hawkeye Pierce.

    Hotlips O'Houlihan: Well that kind of informality is inconsistent with maximum efficiency in a military organization.

    Hawkeye Pierce: Oh come off it, MAJOR! You put me right off my fresh fried lobster, do you realize that? I'm now going to go back to my bed, I'm going to put away the best part of a bottle of scotch... And under normal circumstances, you being normally what I would call a very attractive woman, I would have invited you back to share my little bed with me you might possibly have come. But you really put me off. I mean you... You're what we call a regular army clown.
