A Classic

Rating: 10/10 (12 August 2002)

M*A*S*H was a great movie. It portrayed army doctors on the front lines getting through the Korean war with a lot of humor. It was really a breakthrough film. It was the first time a film had ever dared to show that much carnage. The jokes were funny and the issues that were stewing in the world at the time of its filming were tied into it. It had a perfect mix of wit and humor. The casting in this film was great. I believe that Elliot Gould made one of the best performances of his career in M*A*S*H. Robert Altman took a wonderful book and cut and stitched it into a classic movie!
