A Mashterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (23 January 2006)

M.A.S.H. is one of the cinemas best comedies and without question a masterpiece. It is one of the funniest movies ever with it's famous Suicide is painless scene being the highlight. M.A.S.H. spawned one of the best and most known TV shows ever. The TV show has more comedy and less dramatic scenes and has the wonderful Alan Alda but it doesn't have the power of the film and the wonderfully hilarious performance of Donald Sutherland, as well as one of the best directors ever in Robert Altman directing one of his best films. The screenplay is also wonderful with some of the best and funniest dialogue ever put on screen. The characters are also very well penned, particularly for a war comedy which is a genre that has previously had mostly horrible messes of films. One of cinemas best comedies and for sure a must see.
