The inspiration for the award-winning TV series,
MASH follows the quips and antics of two doctors as they are stationed in Korea. Starring Donald Sutherland, Eliot Gould, Tom Skerritt, Sally Kellerman, with director Robert Altman, it brims with sexual banter, bloody bodies, and comedic moments.
MASH effectively is a commentary against war and is seemingly as somber as it is funny. However, up to the end you are left with a smile on your face. The climatic moments during the football game will have all riled up and fittingly we see Captain Pierce (Sutherland) ride away in the same stolen jeep he had when arriving. The iconic theme "Suicide is Painless" adds to the composition. Overall it is a good film much different then the
MASH we got to know on television.
4/5 Stars
