MASH (1970)
Sorry

But exquisite direction and great performances do not make up for the film's prehistoric gender and sexual politics. They sic a woman on a guy who's decided he's going to kill himself because he's gay, and it works?
And the only female character in the movie is a shrill harpy until she's harassed and then screwed into submission? Are you kidding me?
Call it commentary - I disagree - but I'd say Altman presents the actions of his characters almost completely uncritically.
And if we're not meant to root for their Hawkeye and Trapper, then it's plain bad filmmaking that we inhabit their perspective for the entire film.
Aesthetically fabulous, morally rancid.
