CLIP DESCRIPTION:
A last supper is thrown in honor of Walter 'Painless' Waldowski (John Schuck) before he ingests the black 'suicide' pill.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Although he was not the first choice to direct it, the hit black comedy MASH established Robert Altman as one of the leading figures of Hollywood's 1970s generation of innovative and irreverent young filmmakers. Scripted by Hollywood veteran Ring Lardner, Jr., this war comedy details the exploits of military doctors and nurses at a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital in the Korean War. Between exceptionally gory hospital shifts and countless rounds of martinis, wisecracking surgeons Hawkeye Pierce (Donald Sutherland) and Trapper John McIntyre (Elliott Gould) make it their business to undercut the smug, moralistic pretensions of Bible-thumper Maj. Frank Burns (Robert Duvall) and Army true-believer Maj. "Hot Lips" Houlihan (Sally Kellerman). Abetted by such other hedonists as Duke Forrest (Tom Skerritt) and Painless Pole (John Schuck), as well as such (relative) innocents as Radar O'Reilly (Gary Burghoff), Hawkeye and Trapper John drive Burns and Houlihan crazy while engaging in such additional blasphemies as taking a medical trip to Japan to play golf, staging a mock Last Supper to cure Painless's momentary erectile dysfunction, and using any means necessary to win an inter-MASH football game. MASH creates a casual, chaotic atmosphere emphasizing the constant noise and activity of a surgical unit near battle lines; it marked the beginning of Altman's sustained formal experiments with widescreen photography, zoom lenses, and overlapping sound and dialogue, further enhancing the atmosphere with the improvisational ensemble acting for which Altman's films quickly became known. Although the on-screen war was not Vietnam, MASH's satiric target was obvious in 1970, and Vietnam War-weary and counter-culturally hip audiences responded to Altman's nose-thumbing attitude towards all kinds of authority and embraced the film's frankly tasteless yet evocative humor and its anti-war, anti-Establishment, anti-religion stance. MASH became the third most popular film of 1970 after Love Story and Airport, and it was nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. As further evidence of the changes in Hollywood's politics, blacklist survivor Lardner won the Oscar for his screenplay. MASH began Altman's systematic 1970s effort to revise classic Hollywood genres in light of contemporary American values, and it gave him the financial clout to make even more experimental and critical films like McCabe and Mrs. Miller (1971), California Split (1974), and Nashville (1975). It also inspired the long-running TV series starring Alan Alda as Hawkeye and Burghoff as Radar. With its formal and attitudinal impudence, and its great popularity, MASH was one more confirmation in 1970 that a Hollywood "New Wave" had arrived.

The book was even darker. Captain Waldowski, who suffers from bouts of depression, announces his decision to commit suicide, the Swampmen stage a "Last Supper", summon everyone to bid him farewell and then give him a sedative. While he is sedated, they hook him to a harness and drop him from a helicopter, ending the depression. So in the book they offer him a mercy killing whereas this scene was supposed to be reverse psychology, trying to get painless to not kill himself.
That took incredible time and effort for their friend. I want friends like that.
Those lyrics are not only poignant but the epitome of struggle in life
And it was written by a 14 year old
I just read the story if this song and it’s ironic to the core it was supposed to be written as the stupidest song ever and at that they failed as it’s lyrics are actually profoundly true.
This scene is so sad, touching and hilarious knowing that Hawkeye made sure to give him a sleeping pill as a placebo.
Yes. Yes. It leave me with words. No words.
I know I'm 44 and getting up there , But I'm surprised at how many people don't know M*A*S*H* was a Movie first before a T.V show "Donald Sutherland's Sec. best roll " OddBall in Kelly's Hero's #1. " Gary Burghoff as Radar was the only actor to do both movie and series . Side note trivia . Col. Sherman T. Potter's was only actor to play 2 different rolls in the series . Harry Morgan's first appearance on M*A*S*H was in the show's third season (1974-1975), when he played eccentric Major General Bartford Hamilton Steele in "The General Flipped at Dawn", which first aired on September 10, 1974.
@Daniel Appleton 4sure alan alda was the man
MN P don’t forget too. It was a book before a movie.
William Christopher, god bless his soul was a marine with Gomer Pyle, before/after he was father Mulcahy in mash. Before the series but after the Korea war
MN P i’m born in 2005, and i love watching M*A*S*H. Ever since i was a little kid, i wanted to join the US Army. And after watching MASH, the dream of becoming a soldier has grown even more. I’m proud to be an American, and as soon as i’m done with high school, i’m joining the army🇺🇸
Oh I knew it was a movie first; it just wasn’t as good as the show.
Almost 50 years later people know about "The black capsule"
This was the sweetest thing.
Too bad they didn't show the rest, where he wakes up refreshed, and the girl who slept with him is shown about to take off in a helicopter, and cracks the biggest smile beforehand. That was my dad's favorite part of the film.
It’s sad “suicide is painless” was written by a 14 year old
Annika Niclasen it as supposed to be a stupid song, this is a comedic scene over a failed affair...but the boy wrote some good lyrics & gained 1 million dollars!
Cynthia Ennis no, it’s not. the song is also about the battlefield, the frontines, that suicide is less painful than to die on the battlefield.
Annika Niclasen I just saw the story of how & who wrote it...it was the 14 yr old son of a man in this business. What I said above is true. There were also alternate lyrics, but instead of coming out as “stupid” as the father had hoped & expected for this scene, his son did a good job of it & made a million, himself! The clip about this is on the same channel...check it out if you don’t believe me...
video = ‘MASH Theme. The REAL Story of “Suicide is Painless” ‘
Not for him.
@@HotVoodooWitch what?
Genius the remake of "La Cene" from Leonardo da Vinci.
The Last Supper
you stop the thinger....PHOQUE
Anyone realize there's 12 people at the table? Can't tell you how many times I have seen the movie over the years and I never noticed it before.
rupe53 there actually parodying the last super lol
@@chrisdurso3325… yes, that's exactly why I mentioned it. They did have that twisted sense of humor.
Painless is suicide
where is Alan Alda Loretta Swit etc
robtru84 This is from the original movie, which came before the TV show, which had mostly different actors.
There's Gary Burghoff as Radar in the movie
Listen to the lyrics of the song it is so deep
Daniel Appleton If Tom skerrit had joined the cast, I suppose then we’d have some real connections to the movie. But the TV series is just a more popular fanfic of the Movie and Book
I like the actors from the show generally better with one exception being Elliot Gould. I thought he was a much better and funnier Trapper than Wayne Roger’s.
TV series sucked
The movie sucked
@@therenegadej5764 yes I totally agree the movie was one of the worst movies ever made but I loved the series and still do
The movie was incredibly ahead of it’s time for dark comedy, and the show is just incredible too. Both are masterpieces
The guy who wrote the book liked the movie but hated the TV series.
