Perfect personality, healthy attitude towards life!

The wonderful cold joke dialogue and ingenious plot design from beginning to end are amazing. For those with a little English level, this film will look more enjoyable. Fortunately, I found this masterpiece from the 70s. I don't think this is a so-called anti-war black humor film. The Korean Field Hospital is just a background. Three medically skilled guys, confident and humorous, with a sense of justice, advocating truth, despising and mocking hypocrisy. The film conveys a healthy, true, positive, optimistic and humorous attitude towards life. The two doctors have perfect personality charm. Their favorite character is the mustache "Girl Killer" and the young Sutherland's "Eagle Eye". Not bad, plus the chattering hospital radio station, the very cute dean, and which "hot lips" are all outstanding. The director is a master, not revealing, and the multi-dimensional character plot scene structure is easy to control. It looks like a funny film, but the thought content expressed is quite deep. It is incomparable to ordinary foolish and silly films! The only thing that I feel is too much. Dizziness from repeated surgery scenes. In addition, a large number of rapidly overlapping dialogues, for people with an average E level like me, will miss a lot of delicately designed picture details because of staring at the subtitles.

    Mobile Army Surgical Hospital, I watched this film because I often saw its posters. Funny anti-war style, on a big scale. Although I know it's a comedy genre, I think about the American imperialists who drank and ate meat on the battlefield, and the Chinese and Vietnamese over there. . . . .

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.
