Suicide is painless

Advantages: Offbeat comedy, haunting theme song
Disadvantages: No storyline

A Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (M.A.S.H) stationed on the front line of the Korean War may not seem the most obvious setting for a comedy. However, Robert Altman’s Oscar-winning film comedy, M*A*S*H (1970), was just that. Not only was the film a success in itself but it also spawned a cult TV series. Based on the novel by Richard Hooker, Ring Lardner Jr wrote the screenplay for the film for which he was awarded an Oscar. Apparently, some thirteen ...
...The film itself does not have a specific plot, it is more a hotch-potch collection of scenes centered around two madcap surgeons. Trapper John McIntyre (Elliott Gould) and Hawkeye Pierce (Donald Sutherland) are dedicated and hardworking. Faced daily with the horrors of war, the surgeons battle against the personal devastations of war providing medical treatment to those wounded in combat. To reduce the stress, they relax by thinking up and carrying ...

Don't even bother

Advantages: It spwaned a brilliant TV show
Disadvantages: Everything else

Despite seeing very few M*A*S*H episodes in my life I knew from these few that it was a television series that I would love and so when I ordered it for Christmas I also ordered the M*A*S*H film which incidentally is what the television series is based upon. I must at this point say that I was thoroughly disappointed with the film and since watching the first two series' of the television series have become even more disappointed with it. Now I'm ...
...that the film was brilliant and hilarious throughout but I just can't find the appeal. Like the television series the film is based in the 4077th MASH unit and shows how they cope with the day to day burden of facing countless young men that they must put back together again and ship out to continue the fighting. Unlike the television series however the film, being much longer, didn't simply deal with one issue and in my opinion this is its downfall. ...

MASH - Loved it

Advantages: good subject, great yarn, great cast, enduring film
Disadvantages: none really

The movie "MASH" is a hilarious trip through a Korean War MASH Hospital. With a star-studded cast and a bizarre plot line, it is guaranteed to please. I first saw an edited version of this movie on TV. From that minute on I was fascinated. I had seen the TV show, but the film is even better. People should be warned however that this movie is not for everyone. There is a strong sexual content, and a bit of nudity. There are also several depictions ...
...to say, lots of blood. This movie is based around adult themes, despite the low rating. Not only that, lots of young people would not understand the references or humor of the movie. This is definitely not a date movie, but watching it with friends is highly recommendable. The black humor of this movie is indescribable, and the irony is great. I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes irony. The only other military movie with a comparable ...

Surgery as War

Advantages: Wonderfully bleak, dark and funny.
Disadvantages: You can tell it was made in the 70s

I only saw this film after having seen many series of the television spin-off, and was expecting a rather sit-com style romp through the bloodshed and horrors of war. Whoops - got that one wrong. This is, without a doubt, a comedy film, but the humour is so black it is sometimes possible to forget that. The film centres around the same characters as the TV series (i'm assuming that most people have seen at least one episode of this - it seemed to ...
...or so). However, rather than being affable, sane doctors who have a mild disagreement with the wat, Hawkeye and BJ are driven close to insanity by their position, having been drafted into the army. Their refusal to acknowledge authority, the heavy consumption of alcohol, and the frequesntly cruel pranks are born out of disgust as much as boredom, and their attempts to ignore the reality of the war occurring all around them show the desperation of ...
