Why watch the movie M*A*S*H?
"M*A*S*H (or MASH, as you prefer) was one of the biggest successes of the cinema in the early 1970s. Based on the homonymous book written by Richard Hooker, it is a sharp comedy about the professionals of the Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (from which the title's acronym comes), the medical unit responsible for treating the wounded still on the battlefield. The story takes place during the Korean War, in 1951, with a group of doctors who did not want to be in the army, paid little attention to the lives of the patients and were only concerned with playing pranks on each other. For new generations, it is a mix of 'The Office' with 'Apocalypse Now' and 'Scrubs'. The cast is star-studded, with names like Donald Sutherland ('Pride & Prejudice') and Robert Duvall ('The Godfather'). With all this, the movie was nominated for five Oscars (winning the Best Adapted Screenplay statuette), as well as several spin-off series on TV. Finally, it is worth noting: the movie is a portrait of its time, with many misogynistic and even cruel jokes."
