The script for M*A*S*H feels like it was entirely written by an algorithm fed nothing but energy-drink commercials.

“This tomato has seen things.”
M*A*S*H
Masterfully crafted. Un-roastable.
An absolute cinematic disaster.
The 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital is stuck in the middle of the Korean war. With little help from the circumstances they find themselves in, they are forced to make their own fun. Fond of practical jokes and revenge, the doctors, nurses, administrators, and soldiers often find ways of making wartime life bearable.

Unpopular opinion: M*A*S*H is the most overrated film of the decade
Look, I wanted to love M*A*S*H. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.
Hot Take: M*A*S*H's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Director clearly thought M*A*S*H was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.
Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in M*A*S*H actually is?
Everyone praising the M*A*S*H performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.
