Suicide Is Painless is known to the world as the theme song of the 1970 anti-war movie "Army Field Hospital" (MASH). It was originally written specifically for a play of "The Last Supper".
Director Robert Altman has two requirements for the song: 1. The name is Suicide Is Painless, 2. The stupidest song ever written (stupidest song ever written).
But he felt that his 45-year-old brain could no longer write such stupid lyrics. He felt that his son was a fool, so he asked his 14-year-old son (Mike Altman) to write it. Mike Altman finished it in five minutes. Robert thought it was pretty good. It was used in "MASH".
There is a scene in the movie where the dentist thinks he is gay and wants to commit suicide. The companions headed by Hawkeye plan a scene of fake death to save him. Some cos the "Last Supper", and some hold a guitar to accompany him. After completing the whole set, the dentist feels that he has died peacefully, and finally breaks through the psychological barrier to regain a new life.
Why should I check this? Because I heard this song a few years ago, I thought it was very negative, but after watching the movie yesterday, the absurd comedy, the song appeared in the scene of everyone saving their companions, "Suicide is no pain." "The" is actually a joke. However, after reading the comments of netizens under NetEase, they are full of suicide attempts and suicidal emotions. It is quite regrettable. The desire to live makes me love life.
May everyone cherish life and live a long life.
