I watched movies by the director Robert Altman. I watched
MASH, The Player, and Gosford Park. Growing up I watched the movie and show,
MASH, frequently with my dad, so even though I didn’t know who the director was
at the time, he has had such a big impact on my life. Because I have always loved MASH I decided to
watch more of Altman’s films.
It was interesting seeing the differences and similarities
between the films. For instance, MASH is full of heavy situations, because the
setting is a medical camp during the war. But in spite of all the dramatic
situations and people dying, all the characters are super outgoing and just
down right hilarious. I love the movie more than anything, but I am also very
pleased with the television show. I think the television show really shows who
the characters are in more depth, which makes for even better connections with
the audience.
The difference between MASH and Altman’s other films is kind
of funny because MASH is very lighthearted in a crazy sad situation, and his
other films, like The Player, are more dark. He takes a weird or sad situation
and makes it very dramatic. The films sometimes deal with the same level of
dramatic situations, but the tone of each are quite different.
