An Classic

Rating: 10/10 (4 July 2004)

MASH (Mobile Army Sergegal Hospital) was and still Is a cult classic. This dark comedy directed by Robert Aldman takes place during the Korean war, for all of you who don't know about it, the Korean war was a war fought in Korea (both north and south) during the early 50's. communist forces from the north invaded the southern koreans and eventually started the war. Since we were hell-bent on making the world a communist-free place at the time, we (and the rest of the new UN) became involved. The war began in 1950 and ended in 1953 in a draw.
Anyway, MASH is about this doctor from Maine named Ben Frankland "Hawkeye" (like from last of the moheakens) Peirce who steals a jeep from a airbase (he is aided by a friend who is also a doctor). They go on to the base there assigned to which happends to be the 4077th MASH.
The film talks about war, death, love, sex, government, military, homosexuality, racism, peace, and much more. I would suggest MASH to anyone, its a great film and has stood the test of time.
