Description of this Mash Poster
M*A*S*H (stylized on screen as MASH) is a 1970 American black war comedy film directed by Robert Altman and written by Ring Lardner Jr. based on the novel MASH: A Novel About Three Army Doctors ( 1968) by Richard Hooker. The film is the only feature film in the M*A*S*H franchise to be released theatrically, and it became one of the biggest films of the early 1970s for 20th Century Fox.
The film depicts a unit of medical personnel stationed at a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (MASH) during the Korean War. It stars Donald Sutherland, Tom Skerritt and Elliott Gould, with Sally Kellerman, Robert Duvall, René Auberjonois, Gary Burghoff, Roger Bowen, Michael Murphy and, in his film debut, professional football player Fred Williamson. Although the Korean War is the setting for the film's plot, the subtext is the Vietnam War - a current event at the time the film was made. Doonesbury creator Garry Trudeau, who saw the film in college, said M*A*S*H was "perfect for the times, the cacophony of American culture was brilliantly reproduced on screen ".
The film won the Grand Prix du Festival International du Film, later called the Palme d'Or, at the 1970 Cannes Film Festival. The film went on to receive five Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, and won Best adapted scenario. In 1996, M*A*S*H was included in the annual selection of 25 films added to the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress, deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" and recommended for preservation. The Academy Film Archive preserved M*A*S*H in 2000.
The film inspired the television series M*A*S*H, which aired from 1972 to 1983. Gary Burghoff, who played Radar O'Reilly, was the only actor playing a major character to appear in both the film and the television series. Altman despised the television series, calling it "the antithesis of what we were trying to do" with the film.
In 1951, the Army's 4077th Mobile Surgical Hospital in South Korea was assigned two new surgeons, "Hawkeye" Pierce and "Duke" Forrest, who arrived in a Jeep stolen from the Army. They are insubordinate, womanizers, and don't follow the rules, but they quickly prove themselves to be excellent combat surgeons. Other characters already stationed at the camp include bumbling commander Henry Blake, his hyper-competent chief clerk Radar O'Reilly, dentist Walter "Painless Pole" Waldowski, incompetent and pompous surgeon Frank Burns, and contemplative chaplain , Father Mulcahy.
The main characters in the camp are divided into two factions. Angered by Frank's religious fervor, Hawkeye and Duke get Blake to change tents so that newly arrived thoracic surgeon Trapper John McIntyre can move in. The three doctors (the "Swampmen", from their tent's nickname) have little respect for military protocol, having been drafted into the army, and are prone to playing pranks, consorting with women and drinking lots of alcohol. alcohol. Frank is a strict military officer who wants everything done efficiently and by the book, as is Margaret Houlihan, who was assigned to the 4077th as head nurse. The two bond over their respect for the rules and begin a secret love affair. With Radar's help, the Swampmen sneak a microphone into a tent where the couple are having sex and broadcast their passion over the camp's PA system, embarrassing them and earning Houlihan the nickname “Hot Lips”. The next morning, Hawkeye goads Frank into assaulting him, resulting in the latter being sent away from camp for a psychiatric evaluation. Later, while Hot Lips is showering, the Swampmen prank her by removing the tent's flaps and exposing her naked body, in order to settle a bet on whether or not she is a natural blonde. Furious and embarrassed, Hot Lips yells at Blake to let her staff run wild and not discipline them.
Painless, described as "the best equipped dentist in the army" and "the dental Don Juan of Detroit", becomes depressed following an impotence incident and announces his intention to commit suicide, believing he is became homosexual. The Swampmen agree to help him take action, by throwing a feast reminiscent of Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper, arranging for Father Mulcahy to give Painless absolution and communion, and providing her with a " black capsule" (actually a sleeping pill) to help him take action. Hawkeye persuades the beautiful Lieutenant "Dish" Schneider - who has remained loyal to her husband and is being transferred to the United States for release - to spend the night with Painless and assuage her concerns about her " latent homosexuality. The next morning, Painless is back in her usual good mood and a smiling Dish leaves the camp aboard a helicopter to begin her journey home.
Trapper and Hawkeye are sent to Japan on a temporary assignment to operate on a congressman's son and, hopefully, play golf. When they subsequently perform an unauthorized operation on a local infant, they are subject to disciplinary action by the hospital commander for misusing army resources. Trapper uses an anesthetic gas to put the commander to sleep. Using staged photos of him waking up in bed with a prostitute, they blackmail him into keeping quiet.
After returning to camp, Blake and General Hammond organize a football game between the 4077th and the 325th Evacuation Hospital and bet several thousand dollars on its outcome. At Hawkeye's suggestion, Blake requests that a particular neurosurgeon - Dr. Oliver Harmon "Spearchucker" Jones, former professional football player for the San Francisco 49ers - be transferred to the 4077th as a teammate. Eagleeye also suggests that Blake bet half his money up front and keep Jones out of the first half of the match. The 325th scores easily and repeatedly, even after the 4077th drugs one of his star players to incapacitate him. Hammond confidently offers high odds, against which Blake bets the rest of his money. Jones begins the second half, which quickly turns into a free-for-all, and the 4077th manages to have the second player of the 325th expelled, before winning thanks to a final sleight of hand.
Shortly after the match, Hawkeye and Duke receive their discharge orders and begin to return home, using the stolen Jeep they arrived in.
