Robert Altman's movies always exude a strong American temperament. Crazy entertainment in "Nashville" to the death era. In "Silver. Sex. Men and Women", the faces of American people. Altman is like a planner of American culture, holding American entertainment, politics, and civilian spirit in his hands to show everyone. Numerous roles, rejection of the fragmented display of grand narratives, and complex networked narratives. These Ultraman signature elements are simplified in this film. "Eagle Eye", a battlefield surgeon and his working partner, have become consistent throughout. The main character. What remains unchanged is Ultraman's unique sense of humor and rebellious spirit. As a movie set in the Korean War, there are no war scenes. The only blood comes from wounded soldiers on the operating table. Altman seems to just treat the battlefield barracks as a utopian world far away from the earth. There are no family conflicts, no unemployment crisis, no lonely last subway, and even legal personality is gradually dispelled. Everyone is living together all day long, men, women, sex, play, work, enjoyment, everything is inclusive, except for the unpleasantness of the helicopter landing, everything else is at ease.

They steal jeeps from the army as their cars. During the surgical operation, the female nurse asked her to pick her nostrils to relieve itching because she couldn't get her hands free. The new female captain vowed to rectify the discipline of the barracks, but she fought fiercely with the male officer. The voices of the two men were tapped live, and there was a moan of love over the entire barracks...Everyone was relaxed and happy in the center of the loving air. .......The female captain was called "hot lips", and the male officer was furious after being teased by Hawkeye and was taken away as a mentally ill... because he found himself The team member Walter, who is gay and intends to commit suicide, held the last supper. A crowd of people dressed in white gave speeches. Then Walter lay in the coffin and ate the "toxic" black pills and fell asleep. Then Hawkeye asked a female nurse to rescue the dying Walter, so the "dead" Walter spent the spring evening with the female nurse in the coffin. The next day Walter was radiant...All the men lined up. Peeping the female nurse taking a bath, and finally even set up the tent of the "hot lips" who was bathing, exposing her to everyone...This is their punishment for the arrogant attitude of the "hot lips" when they first came... ...They were assigned to perform surgery in Japan and went to the brothel by the way...They played golf in the colonel's office. They would be anesthetized by the troublesome colonel, and took nude photos of the colonel and the prostitute lying together...they were there. In the rugby game organized by the troops, they participated in gambling and used anesthesia needles to anaesthetize the opponent's top player. In the final offense, they hid the ball in their clothes and scored touchdowns. The rugby game is also the most filmed. The fierce and most violent scene...Finally, they were informed that they could go home, but no one was happy. On the contrary, they were more emotionally unwilling to work together, bored together, and game-in-arms, not letting go of this utopia. world. The ending list of actors and the names of the movies are reported on the radio in a very innovative way.

    Multi-layered dialogue interaction, very suitable for wartime scenes. The overall atmosphere is relaxed, yet the values ​​conveyed are very open-minded. The core characters are individualistic and insightful, no wonder House likes them. It's hard to imagine that it was fifty years ago that such an openness to combine the character of a soldier in the field with a whistle-blower character. amazing creation
