A s with other movies our cycle "The Satire at War " , MASH (1970) , is the product of the time he lived and nonconformity that American society was in the late 60's and early 70's by the prevailing situation of foreign policy U.S. The years of production and release of the film is framed in full turmoil of the Vietnam War, a conflict that was attended by U.S. since 1964, official date, although his interest in the area did not decline after World War II possible spread of communism in the area and economic interests of the conflict until his retirement in 1973 due to strong social pressure of their citizens and the impossibility of beating the enemy on their own ground.

student and countercultural movements, supported both by intellectuals and by the civilian population, the coverage of media updated daily continuous defeats suffered by his soldiers, political groups began to stand against the war, made a great anti-war spirit took hold of American society and encourage the streets to demonstrate their disagreement in mass demonstrations. The antiwar movement reached its peak between 1969 and 1970. Then polls reflect that most of the population opposed U.S. participation in the conflict. On October 15, 1969 was a demonstration in Washington attended by more than half a million people, about two million around the country, demanding an end to his country's participation in the war. This event was broadcast worldwide and took root in the more conservative American feelings. This discomfort was also impregnated and widely followed by musicians such as Joan Baez and Bob Dylan, undisputed masters of American popular music, who sang from the rooftops their protests. The pacifist feeling left its mark on massive festivals such as Woodstock recalled in August 1969 and released by the Film and Television (1). At that time Robert Altman photographed these moments for the culture and against the established power to collect their work in the book "The Sixties: Photographs by Robert Altman."

From this period comes the success of MASH , a survivor of fear film industry and turned into a Hollywood icon a time thanks to the perseverance and ingenuity of the unknown, at that time, Robert Altman. A director who, in Alvor the 70's, was able to imbue his work of courage disapproving of the time and knew how to channel it to produce the work at hand.

Draft MASH, which stands for Mobile Army Surgical Hospital - Mobile Surgical Army Hospital, was born with the purchase of the rights to the novel Mash: a novel about 3 doctors in the military military surgeon Richard Hooker by part of the 20 Century Fox, for the project were hired Robert Altman after many directors have withheld. In its shares have contained only as a director on television series like Alfred Hitchcock Presents or Bonanza and film credits as little highlighted as unknown to the general public. In MASH are outlined each and every one of its guidelines, using experimental means that later would become its own stamp.

uptake levels from a distance using the camera zoom not to interfere with the performance of the actors. The use of plans that contribute to visual anarchy due to the large group of people who appear in them. This is accompanied by visual chaos of overlapping dialogue, thus providing naturally to the talks and integrate the viewer in situations consistent with life itself. Also in MASH begins his taste for the parallel histories and participation in them of an ensemble cast. In Nashville (1975), A wedding day (1978), The Player (1991), Cuts (1993), Gosford Park (2001), among others, satirical slip critical to the cinema, dance, music and fashion.

Working with actors was complete freedom of interpretation to them, instigating continuously improvise and ignore the script. This very scared the emerging stars Donald Sutherland (Hawkeye), Elliott Gould (Trapper) and Tom Skerritt at the beginning, even to ask for dismissal of Altman. The rest of the cast formed mostly actors film debut and later accompanied the director on his films.


Robert Altman, aware of the difficulties they encounter the study, decided not to call attention to their work. Shielded by the shooting of two heavyweights that were rolling at the same time, Patton Franklin J. Schaffner and Tora!, Tora!, Tora! Richard Fleischer, the Fox, took certain steps to make their way running as experimental not attract attention of managers. Consciously opted for hiring unknown actors not to increase spending and also managed to finish the filming ahead of schedule and without using the entire budget to avoid attention.
When the work was presented to Fox everyone was horrified. The executives were frightened by the incoherence of a story that contained episodic scenes, but that did not follow a linear plot, the chaotic sounds and scenes so real operating room (2), and the tone of black humor and bad taste, made stagger the release of the film. The writer was furious to see that almost none of their dialogue had been honored. But above all, the omission of reference to the Korean War could make the public confused by the conflict with Vietnam, something that the director deliberately planned.

was when it fell to Robert Altman defend their film. In assembling the relevant references were added to Korea and scenes from the speakers to give cohesion and serve as transitions between war stories and war stories of the protagonists. For this purpose, messages that were originally broadcast on American public address fields in the Korean War. Passes were made projections for the public to see the movie and liked getting filin true to the feelings of the spectators. These measures were obtained final permission from the Fox and gave the nod to the work.


The result was impressive, raised $ 37 million when it had only cost 3. The success was due to the film nicely captures the sense of malaise of American citizens. He put his finger on the pulse on issues such as war, patriotism and authority.

Mixing horror of war with a thug and uninhibited humor. The characters, using humor as an escape valve, live among trading desks and continuous partying to cope with the frightening world around them. Sex, alcohol, jokes and parties make this particular microcosm in which they live is a place habitable. He who is corseted by morality, ends crazy as in the case of the surgeon played by Robert Duvall.

However, voices of the military and religious rebuked the tape. The first forbade his soldiers to see, because they knew that the film incited disrespect to superiors and rebellion in the camps. The church, on the other hand, was inadequate portrayal of the priest's campaign did, and of course were not welcome the satirical scene that parodies the painting by Leonardo Da Vinci "Last Supper" in which held in tone holiday suicide of a dentist.

deployed is corrosive humor, irreverent, acid ... The background music contributes significantly to the lighthearted tone with songs issued by the camp's loudspeakers. Radio Tokyo lyrics help create the relaxed atmosphere conducive to the party. In contrast, the song Painless Suicide in with the film begins, we revert to the protest songs and melancholy, accompanied by pictures of a medical helicopter filled with wounded. Johnny Mandel musicalized each of the songs, including the main theme, which point the child was 14 years of Robert Altman.
