Review of M*A*S*H (1970) by Matt D — 22 Nov 2007
It was wonderful seeing this film again after 37 years; a break from the mindless tedium of gratuitous blood and violence, brain-splitting noise, and endless shots of that poor man's opiate - political correctness that so often passes for entertainment today.
Modern audiences will not likely identify as strongly as they did then. Today, the US has an all volunteer Army and not the same feelings related to going to war because you're told to. But it has the timeless quality of the human spirit in interesting yet realistic characters surviving in those difficult and uninvited circumstances.
And no matter how many times I hear the theme music - Suicide is Painless - I still enjoy it.
