Poll question: René Descartes, René Auberjonois or René Magritte?

5. Wassily "Rene" Kandinsky

[From The Ashes]

8. He's not Father Mulcahy...

William Christopher played him. :shrug:

9. in a stupid overlong tv show based on a great movie

Auberjonois was the original and still the best.

[Captain Hilts]

13. The movie is horribly unrealistic and misogynistic. nt

[Bucky]

14. And therefor more faithful to the book

The book MASH was written by someone who, today, we'd call a rightwinger. In his sequels like MASH at Home (iirc), the character Hawkeye Pierce talks about going down to the local college to kick some hippies' asses. I read it years ago and was convinced for a long while that the book was a hoax or parody of the TV show's sleeve-born anachronistic liberalism.

[Captain Hilts]

18. True. There were a ton of MASH books. nt

[CBGLuthier]

19. It is a satire. Satires are not known for being realistic

Yes, it is misogynistic as can be. You are aware the Korean war happened during the early 50's aren't you? Not exactly what I would call the enlightened age of feminism.

[Bucky]

20. Also the movie was made in the 70s

Feminism was still taking baby steps

[Captain Hilts]

22. True. nt

[Captain Hilts]

21. But Army surgeons NEVER treated nurses like that because the nurses

could make or break them. The nurses were volunteers, not draftees, as the doctors often were.

This was the rare case in that era where women had as close as an even hand as they could get.

Your condescending comment is condescending and incorrect. Read some history of the Army medical corps in that era. Or watch the interview with some of the folks on whom the book/movie was based. The real doctors pretended they were on Safari and wore safari helmets, etc.

[CBGLuthier]

26. which part was incorrect?

The war was in the 50's, satires are not realistic, and the 50's were a time when women were treated like shit.


Which part of that statement is not true?

One more time, condescension mode on full, the movie is a satire not a fucking documentary. I am quite sure a lot of what happened in the movie did not happen.

And the movie is far superior to the TV show. For one thing it didn't last 4 times as long as the god damned war did.

[Bucky]

15. I kind of thought the Mulcahy character was underdeveloped in the movie

Anyway, Auberjonois plays pompous efficiency a lot more convincingly than he does bumbling ineptitude.
