M*A*S*H(风流医生俏护士)1970 Robert Altman's anti-establishment comedy set during the Korean War but satirising the US Vietnam war effort. Stars Donald Sutherland, Elliot Gould and Robert Duvall 'I wonder how a depraved person like that could have reached a position of responsibility in the Army Medical Corps,' enquires the straight-laced 'Hot Lips' Houlihan (Kellerman) of anarchic surgeon Hawkeye (Sutherland). 'He was enlisted,' comes the deadpan reply. From this exchange, it's clear that Robert Altman was never going to be anything other than merciless in his critique of the absurdity of the military. Based on a novel by Richard Hooker and following the fortunes of a group of rebellious surgeons stationed in a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (MASH) during the Korean war, M*A*S*H is actually a thinly veiled indictment of the Vietnam conflict (Altman removed all references to Korea just to be sure). The puerile antics of Hawkeye, Trapper (Gould) and Duke (Skerritt) are juxtaposed with graphic, bloody shots of surgical cases to highlight the terrible waste of life that war brings. With its grainy, washed-out colours and documentary style camera-work, Altman has created a film that looks like authentic newsreel footage. His trademark overlapping dialogue technique is used to full effect, exposing the pointless bureaucracy inherent in military terminology. The largely improvised script drips with sarcasm, and Sutherland and Gould spark off each other with rapier wit and devastating put-downs. On its release it was the perfect summation of the politically charged times and everything that Mike Nichols' adaptation of the similarly iconoclastic Catch 22 should have been. Quite simply, it's Altman at his irreverent, hilarious best. 1 本文来源:https://www.wddqw.com/doc/32ae3a75cd84b9d528ea81c758f5f61fb73628a4.html
