For the third meeting of Film Club, we eventually settled on MASH. There was a lot of interest in TRON, but also a lot of disinterest too. Quick Change was rejected!
MASH juxtaposes gory operating-room procedures with anti-establishment humor. Occasionally, these two elements coexist within the same shot. For example, while Hawkeye is amputating a patient's leg, he asks a nurse to scratch his nose, when all the while the sound of the saw cutting the bone is audible.The film, the plot of which is episodic, is marked by Altman's trademark editing style, in which many scenes contain several simultaneous or overlapping conversations, as well as his frequent use of zooms.
Film Club Rules, which were discussed but not ratified last night are:
* Host gets veto power over a movie.
* We should have some sort of voting system
