I never watched much of MASH on TV. I didn't realize it was a movie first. It came on today at work.
I'm puzzled about what the film is trying to have me feel toward the protagonists (I guess it's an ensemble cast, but I'd say that Hawkeye, Trapper, and Duke are who the audience is meant to connect with).
I get that their carefree attitude is supposed to work in contrast to Maj Houlihan's and Burns' straight-laced character. But, honestly, they're dickish bullies.
I get the rebellious attitudes but it comes at the expense at those around them. The microphoned sex scene was whatever - I mean, definitely an invasion of privacy but came off more as boyish immaturity.
But the shower scene where they expose Maj Houlihan to an audience and completely humiliate her in such an intimate manner....is the audience still meant to root for them as the heroes of the story?
