With the release of Robert Altman`s M*A*S*H in 1970, a new form of comedy was brought to the big screen that would forever change the face of cinema. Altman`s insistence on overlapping the characters` dialogue, photographing the film with fog filters and sloppy zooms, and a frank combination of jarringly graphic surgery footage with cynical humor, resulted in a timeless comedy that reflects the American counterculture`s growing distrust of religion and government in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Politics aside, M*A*S*H is a classic motion picture that skyrocketed Altman to the upper ranks of Hollywood directors. Based on the novel by Richard Hooker, M*A*S*H follows a group of Mobile Army Surgical Hospital officers as they perform surgery and pass the time just miles from the front lines of the Korean Conflict. Led by the sardonic Captains Hawkeye Pierce (Donald Sutherland) and Trapper John McIntyre (Elliott Gould), the film has the feel of an absurd three-ring circus, and is composed of a series of vignettes rather than a traditionally unfolding narrative, creating that freewheeling feel so unique to early-`70s cinema.
