Review of M*A*S*H

M*A*S*H (1970)
6/10
Dissapointing in 2021

I'm not sure if I would like this movie living in the 70's, but it is really hard to watch nowadays, and it's not because it is deep or complex. For me it is a disaster which doesn't deserve more than 6 stars out of 10. The film is a series of gags and other stupid moments about some drunkard war medics and it isn't neither deep nor funny. Frequently I watch comedies without laughing but appreciating the jokes anyway, which doesn't work in this movie. I like black humor and I'm not a fan of stupid comedies such as American Pie, but I really see nothing really funny or deep about this film. Its plot is a non-existing thing, so it gets even more boring to watch. I can't compare it with the TV series everyone's talking about, but I clearly see that MASH is an overrated movie. Reviews about "We are all human regardless of ranks" and "Anti-war film" are quite shallow. The real anti-war films which really make you think are Platoon and Apocalypse Now, not this movie. And speaking of "humanity", yes, among the soldiers and other war staff there is a lot of different people, including the ones such as this film's characters, but MASH is definitely not a best picture to show it. I hate these stupid jokes about sex and women even when there is a little of them in some serious war films, and this movie makes them the key element of the plot. Don't watch this film, spare your time for some good war film instead.
