Couple of interesting notes - 1. Gary Burghoff is the only actor who played in both movie and TV, but in real life he was ineligible for military service because he has a deformed hand. It's the hand that usually is in a pocket or holding a clipboard.
2. Burns leaves the same way in book, movie and TV series (Section 8). That said, the reason behind it is slightly changed and who leads to the sending away is different (book movie actions toward Hawkeye, other Houlihan's honeymoon).
I always loved the part where they accidentally dropped the guy in the stretcher. It made that scene so authentic. You could tell they were trying to get those people in the OR as fast as possible.
In my opinion, the movie is better than the movie. The portrayal of the characters is much better and more similar to the novel's. Although,I will say the movie is way off from the book. I can't believe they left the part where Trapper grows out his beard and they tie him up to the helicopter and fly him around pretending he's Jesus! That was hilarious!
Those who love the united states who wants to show you...that your life is more important then there's because in real we are going to die......and I'm so Lucky to have a bunch of men and women who think my life is worth it......
The doctor who wrote the book that inspired the movie and TV show showed it as intelligent dark humor, not the corney touchy feeley nonsense the TV show was.
Agreed - this is one of the deepest and most moving movie theme songs ever. Truly this song has been so misunderstood, as it is truly about LIVING. The men and women depicted in the movie and TV show are fighting for life in the chaos of war and the battle to save lives while staying alive. Suicide is "painless" - death is by far the easier choice, as this song lays out by speaking to the pain of living.
My mom said that when I was maybe 4 years old, i'd sit there playing with my toys singing along to this song. I didn't know what it meant, I just knew all the words cuz my dad watched the movie all the time. She said it scared her >//>
for my taste the best scenes of the film is when the boys up the tent of the showers to see if hot lips was a natural blonde There is another scene in which Frank and Hotlips, are in full clinch, and put the microphone and heard around the camp, ecsenas these two really are very funny, every time I see them, I roll with laughter
When I ran this as a projectionist when it first came out the opening credits had an instrumental score but on DVD it had the song version. I have a VHS version from 1982 with the original instrumental score.
@elhefe001 I don´t think so. This song also talks about the choices you can make. You can choose to end it all or continue living life. Not messed up at all. Maybe you didn´t understand it.
There's a book called 'MASH Angels' written by one of the first Medivac pilots in Korea. While the book focuses on the helicopters and the different work the pilots did, it does include the real 4077th (the 8055th outside of Ouijongbu) and the real surgeon nicknamed Hawkeye.
J ai aime ce film anti-war de R Altman, mais ce que cherchais auj c est le début du film avec ce Song "Suicide is painless" chante maintenant par Jay Jay Johanson, tres émouvant.
In the show opening, the wounded soldiers on the helicopters were usually covered with a blanket, or otherwise not visible. In the movie, you can clearly see there is a wounded person on the chopper.
My Dad, Still alive ,was in the 8068th QuarterMaster Corps during the Korean War. He was there stationed on Okinawa from late 1952 to October 1954. Anybody else here of that Unit ? They handled Fuel and Supply.
Yeah, still I feel chill on my spine to see this opening..Excellent camera work to
catch injured soldiers on the helicpters..At the same time,still with lots tears from my eyes because this is one of the best anti war movie despite NO battle scenes...
That actually wasn't in the script, but was left because the director apparantly thought it was 'funny'. Personally, I don't see how a wounded soldier being dropped on the way to treatment is funny.
ITS ABOUT BOTH WARS. Its called allegory. The author wrote a book about the korean war. It was most poular during the vietnam war, so many people saw similarities and made a connection of the two. Both the author and the reader/viewer get to decide what the story is about to them. There is no right or wrong answer.
@fleury150 Vietnam and Korea. H. Richard Hornberger wrote the novel and Ring Lardner, Jr. wrote the screenplay. Eventually, Robert Altman improvised everything, as well as the actors. It may not have turned out like Lardner had wanted, but it won an oscar and was nominated for five academy awards, as well as a Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture.
MASH was an anti-war film for the American Public opposed to Vietnam
@Reddaytonadog u said "MASH was an anti-war film for the American Public opposed to Vietnam" and I agree. I also agree with those that say it as a war movie about Korea and those that see it as a movie about doctors and those that see it as a simply a comedy. My point is NOT: MASH wasn't a movie about Vietnam. My point is people are wrong to insist it was ONLY a movie about Vietnam. The same point applies to those that insist it was only about Korea or doctors or etc.
Both my grandpas fought in Korea. My maternal grandpa was a Marine and always would remind me that the casualty rate in Korea was much higher than in Vietnam and that it was sad how America totally forgot about them and what they did.
for anyone--ANYONE..! who still doesn't know it, M*A*S*H* is about the Vietnam War. no, not Korea...the Korean War was just a red herring in M*A*S*H*.
for younger folks, for those who didn't pay much attention to this movie/tv program when it ran, and for anyone living on Mars for the past 35 years, PLEASE understand that this movie/show is about the atrocities and horrors of Vietnam. yet it does justice to Korea at the same time, which was just as rotten as Vietnam (albeit shorter).
@tetrisclock Yes, they were a direct statement about Vietnam and how devasting and uselessness the idea of any war, they only took place during Korea.
@rofflemows wrong. The BOOK on which the film and TV show were based is about Korea. The films are no more about Vietnam than they are about Afghanistan. Richard Hornberger (the author) was himself an Army Surgeon serving in the 8055th MASH in Korea.

Does anyone know when movie ratings were implemented? I only ask because when this was originally shown in theaters I was about 5 or 6 yrs old. My mom was overburdened and needed to go grocery shopping without kids in her hair. She hustled me and my brother in and then left, thinking we were watching a wholesome comedy. I guess the kid at the ticket counter had other matters on the mind.
@tetrisclock Ok, thanks. That kid definitely had other things on the mind, unreal. I'll never forget my parents' faces when I told them about the shower scene w/Hotlips!!
@scorpietta 1969 they were implemented however ratings were a little diffrent and people did not know much about them when they first came out The ratings at the time were X now nc-17, R & G existed PG did not exist till 72 before that they were GP rated and pg-13 came out in 1985 red dawn was the first rated pg-13 My esoteric knowledge can be usefull
@scorpietta Yeah, back in November '68 a new voluntary ratings system replaced the Hays Production Code (which smacked of censorship, and basically told producers what they could & couldn't put on the screen)
The new system's ratings were: G (general audiences) M (mature audiences) R (restricted) and X. (no one under 17)
People misunderstood the M rating and it was replaced with GP, (general with parental guidance suggested) later changed to PG, then PG-13 added in '84, and NC-17 replaced "X"
@scorpietta I believe they were introduced in '69 with Easy Rider being one of the first 'R' films. One of my high school English teachers told us that, as a teenager, he took his little brother to see Easy Rider. Apparently neither he or his mom had any idea; they thought it "was a movie about motorcycles." XD Most theaters only really paid lip service to the ratings until about 10-15 years ago when "helicopter parents" started threatening lawsuits.
In the first few seconds you can see (and hear) why it had to be sanitized for weekly television. You wouldn't want to sit down with your family and see the amulances coming into the 4077th with bloody arms hanging out and lyrics like "suicide is painless." It would just be too depressing.
