Anti-War? Nope. Anti Bureaucracy!

Rating: 8/10 (21 June 2002)

It's always been my opinion that Catch-22 wasn't an anti-war book, after all, before Snowden, Yossarion was a fairly diligent soldier.
This is a film about disillusionment, and a film blasting bureaucracy, rather than war. Among the examples is Major Major Major Major, who was put in a position he didn't want / deserve because that was simple how the system worked.
As an adaption of the excellent novel is it alright, several of the best bits are merely glossed over and some parts could have been sacrificed in favor of more worthy scenes, but it does it's job well. This is probably intended for those who've read the book already, as I expect many will be confused otherwise. The highlight is John Voight as Milo. Even if he'd been in every scene I'd say he was underused.
