The game of life is not fun

Whenever movies with black humor are sure to satirize and insinuate something, the Army Field Hospital unceremoniously laughed at this wrong war at the wrong time and the wrong place. There is no bloody war scene, only the operating room like the slaughterhouse of the field hospital at the rear and a group of "barbaric" military doctors who challenge the system.
Field 4077 Hospital gathered a group of surgeons who were enlisted due to the war. They may lack the necessary military training or are skeptical of war. Therefore, they sneered at the rules and regulations of the army and despised the hierarchy. So they drank alcohol and talked about women. Gambling, pranks, and even the supposedly regular operating room is like a free market. The operating table is full of blood, and operations are all "big money". You can make jokes while performing operations. I think the real field hospital will never be so exaggerated, but the director Altman used this method to flog the war: We are like this, who made you start the war! If you think I shouldn’t be like this, please send me I can't ask for it to go home. This is the mentality of everyone in the 4077 hospital.
Although it is a war theme, it appears in the form of a comedy, and the black humor is vividly expressed. The two most exciting episodes are "A film" live broadcast and suicide farewell. Dr. Frank and the new female major head nurse, one prays and repents for the actions of others all day long, and the other strives to maintain the so-called system and image of the army. Two hypocritical and orthodox people can't stand the oppression of the battlefield in their hearts. When surreptitiously surreptitiously, lewd talk was broadcast live and was hailed as the most morale-stimulating broadcast; desperate for his sexual orientation, the dentist wanted to end his life, so everyone devised a suicide bid farewell. The scene is like the last supper, accompanied by the song "Suicide is Painless", this way of healing people and saving people feels funny and sad.
The two songs in the film are very nice, the opening one seems to be a male duet, and the middle one "Suicide Painless", the lyrics are quite interesting. "The game of life is not fun. I'm about to lose anyway. One day I will play the card I lost. If I want to cheat, I will play the card before I lose and let another person play it. "It is
recommended to watch it twice, the first time with a smirk, and the second time with a smile and thinking.
