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...
As for those who are manipulated, the people at the bottom who are manipulated, and various portrayals of institutional coercion, the film is also very well presented. All kinds of obsessive-compulsive soldiers lined up, planes took off, and even the composition of the soldiers waiting at the gate of the brothel reminded you that this is a scene under the control of the "organized" "system". The misfortune of the people also stems from this selfish and absurd system - the so-called Catch-22. And anyone who tries to deviate from its conscience and true nature will be regarded as a lunatic by those who obey the system obediently. But in fact, those good boys under the absurd system are actually outright lunatics. They think without logic, they are just walking dead.
The death of the old man who lived to be 107 years old is also a great irony. All kinds of human pursuits, extreme or progressive, the old man obeys and survives smoothly. But there is only one pursuit that he cannot survive, and that is a pursuit that does not treat him as a human being. Seeing him as a hindrance to the functioning of this system purely for the benefit of capital, naturally, he needs to be eliminated.
