Besides the sometimes silly comedy, MASH took on some of the social issues of the day. If you didn't know, the movie MASH was written as a satire of the Viet Nam war. In turn, the series continued to be a reflection of some of the issues of the 70's like sexism, race, war, poverty, etc. I watched hundreds of episodes when they came out. Grandpa had control of the remote and we had 5 channels. Watching TV with my grandparents and especially MASH, are some of my favorite memories going up.

I can't rate a movie that I've had no opportunity to see. But the review won't allow a "no start rating". This film had very limited release in the US in a few select cities with high Asian populations. I get it: marketing! That is the paradox of the Oscars - movies are often rated by people who have never seen the movies. Way too much glitz and glamour with little substance.
