 | |  | Für alle Freunde des Schwarzen Humors einfach eine Meisterleistung.
Die Macher dieses Films haben meine Art von Humor einfach 100 % getroffen.
| | | "I have just left your fighting sons in Korea. They have done their best there, and I can report to you without reservation that they are splendid in every way.
I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty. Goodbye" -- Gen. Douglas MacArthur
This is the Korean War (1950-1953). We are visiting and passionate on the front line and observing the many lives of the very people that make the M*A*S*H (The 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital) unit possible. This film is touted as a thinly veiled Vietnam War satire.
Some great one-liners as "You forgot your shingle doctor "as he holds up a piece of toast with creamed chipped beef on it. Or as Frank Burns is being hauled off in a straight jacket, the loud speaker is playing "it's time to say sayonara" May military inside jokes and even the clichés have a basis in reality. Although this film takes place, in Korea, it draws a very close parallel to the environment I was in Vietnam and I suspect there have been other wars with other environments similar and may again in the future. It's the laughs that we clean out of these types of films that make those situations tolerable.
For many movies especially older ones Blu-Ray is really just a gimmick and does not really add to or subtract from the storyline or the acting itself. However occasionally the visuals and sounds of Blu-Ray can contribute to earlier movies that were designed before Blu-Ray was conceived; this is one of those movies. This review may be under a different version but it is for the Blu-ray version so be sure to listen to the commentary by the late Robert Altman, AMC Back history, Enlisted: The story of M*A*S*H, M*A*S*H: History Through the Lens, Remembering M*A*S*H: 30th anniversary, Theatrical Trailer, Portuguese Trailer, and Still Gallery.
Through early morning fog I see
The visions of the things to be.
The pains that are withheld for me
I realize, and I can see.....
That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
The game of life is hard to play
I'm gonna lose it anyway
The losing card, I'll someday lay
So this is all I have to say
Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
The sword of time will pierce our skin
It doesn't hurt when it begins
But as it works its way on in
The pain grows stronger, watch it brim..
Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
A brave man once requested me
To answer questions that are key
"Is it to be, or not to be?"
And I replied, "why ask me?"
But suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
And you can do the same thing if you please
If you enjoyed this and other Robert Altman films you may like a more esoteric film by Robert Altman called Quintet ((1979).
Quintet ~ Paul Newman
| | | Ganz grosses Kino von Robert Altman: Traumhaft gute Hauptdarsteller (insbesondere Gould und Sutherland), alltäglicher Wahnsinn im Kriegslazarett, Musik, Atmosphäre alles stimmig. Gehört auf jeden Fall zu den besten Filmen des damals "Neuen Amerikanischen Kinos" (Casavetes, Scorsese, Altman u.a.).
| | Witz und Ironie auf hohem Niveau | |
| | Eine perfekte Komödie vor ernstem Hintergrund. Lockere und witzige Dialoge, gut ausgesuchte Schauspieler, die perfekt harmonieren. Der Film ist nie langweilig und die Gags bleiben immer auf einer intelligenten Ebene. Sehr gute Unterhaltung - und wer es eher poltisch sieht, dem steht es frei MASH als eine besondere Art von Antikriegsfilm zu sehen. Gesamturteil: Sehr sehenswert!
| | Sarkastischer Klamauk gegen das bigotte Amerika | |
| | Robert Altmann probierte in MASH viele neue filmische bzw. regietechnische Kunstgriffe aus: z.b. Paralleldialoge, Hyperbelquadratur oder Kontradiktion von Bild und Ton.
Darum ist MASH nicht mehr aus der Filmgeschichte wegzudenken. Wie phantastisch paßten doch Sutherland und Gould mit ihrem ironischen und lakonischen Humor zusammen?!
Und dennoch, aus heutiger Sicht ist MASH nur Klamauk. Was zu seiner Zeit boshaft und aufwieglerisch in Amerika war, sind heute "billige"und zügellose Campingplatzwitze.
Ich liebe MASH trotzdem, weil er ein Angriff auf das bigotte evangelikale, militaristische Amerika ist und heute noch notwendiger ist denn damals war, weil nun "die Oberschwester" Präsident geworden ist! Aber keiner hat heute den Mut einen ähnlichen wichtigen Beitrag gegen den militärischen Wahsinn zu drehen.
