Mobil Army Surgical Hospital
Cuveni antiratni film Roberta Altmana i mozda najbolji antiratni film ikada snimljen.Snimljen je 1970 godine i da bi izbegli probleme sa studiom ,zbog antiratnih poruka u vreme najzescih demonstracija protiv rata u Vijetnamu,radnju su smestili u drugi rat...korejski.
Uloge su tumacili,u to doba ne bas toliko popularni glumci kao sto je Donald Sutherland,Tom Skerit i Eliot Guld,koji su svoje uloge vrhunskih ,ali potpuno nenormalnih hiruga ,maestralno odigrali.
Film je osvojio neke oskare ,ali to nije ni bitno,zato sto ovakav film nije za nagradjivanje,vec za gledanje.....puno,puno puta!

Robert Altman je za ovaj film bio placen 70 000 dolara,dok je njegov sin za "Suicide is painless" ,zaradio milione,za autorska prava!
Kasnije je na osnovu filma snimljena i odlicna serija ,koja je trajala 11 sezona i bila je jedna og najgledanijih serija ,koje su ikada snimljene!

Svako ko je gledao film zna ovu pesmu,koja je na uvodnoj spici i prozima se kroz ceo film i napisao ju je sin Roberta Altmana....

'Suicide is Painless'

Through early morning fog I see

visions of the things to be

the pains that are withheld for me

I realize and I can see...

REFRAIN:

that suicide is painless

It brings on many changes

and I can take or leave it if I please.

I try to find a way to make

all our little joys relate

without that ever-present hate

but now I know that it's too late, and...

REFRAIN

The game of life is hard to play

I'm gonna lose it anyway

The losing card I'll someday lay

so this is all I have to say.

REFRAIN

The only way to win is cheat

And lay it down before I'm beat

and to another give my seat

for that's the only painless feat.

REFRAIN

The sword of time will pierce our skins

It doesn't hurt when it begins

But as it works its way on in

The pain grows stronger...watch it grin, but...

REFRAIN

A brave man once requested me

to answer questions that are key

is it to be or not to be

and I replied 'oh why ask me?'

REFRAIN

'Cause suicide is painless

it brings on many changes

and I can take or leave it if I please.

...and you can do the same thing if you please.
