I loved the movie and I loved the TV series. Today, 6/20/24 Donald Sutherland passed away. Goodbye. RIP Hawkeye.
Gary Burghoff is about the only one of the movie still alive, isnt he?
Hum.. C'était pas oeuil de lynx ?
In the 90s, this series began to be shown on television in Russia. Dad loved this series, I watched with him, although I did not understand anything. There was humor, and also about how stupid wars are, scary and terrible. I didn’t understand anything, I liked the intro with this song, which brought tears to my eyes (this happens when you don’t understand a foreign language, but you guess the intonation and meaning). Then I learned what war is, having arrived in one of the cities in the south of Russia and saw refugees, crying children and cripples. Dad then said: war with people does this, remember, not a single war brings good, does not start from good intentions, smart people do not start them, and not one war makes a person happier. I was 5 or 6 years old and I remember. Now my native country is at war and again refugees, fear, war, death and cripples. And I remember my father's words: smart people don't start a war and don't bring any good.
Blessings to you and your father 🌻
Unless you start a war of independence maybe. Otherwise, spot on.
Two people kill each other, both not ever known or met. Both have families and loved ones with both equal reasons to live. All caused but the orders of some political figure.
Prayed for your comfort during these difficult times.
Your father was wise. It is critical to defend yourself as a populous, but what matters is what do you justify under the guise of "defense?" As an American veteran at 27, I do not feel I defended my country. I felt like I did more as a volunteer firefighter. Rightful countries have defended themselves through war, all throughout history. But those civilizations did not start it. To defend, means one is about to or has attacked you, and you react. Most wars and all major wars have been conducted over greed and gain. Not good or bad, right or wrong, defense, nor liberation.
I must be sick, i find this song comforting. Deep meaning full IMO.
you're not sick. !!!.. I channel the energy of the song and use it as therapy. turning a negative Into A Positive. 👍
It was written by a teenager. Imagine how that kid viewed life to write a song about the benefits and consequences of suicide.
@@Judg3m3nt As you may know, there's also a character with the name "Painless": John Schuck as Capt. 'Painless' Waldowski - IMDb. I also recall reading about the character in the novel, shortly after I saw references to "Radar O'Reilly" and M*A*S*H in Ottumwa Iowa.
@@Judg3m3nt the teenager was Robert Altmans 14 yr old son. So I guess some of dad's talent rubbed of the kid.
@kylewinward8847 painless, refers to " the painless pole " Waldowski The Dentist. which has nothing to do with the theme song or overall scope of the movie
M.A.S.H. inspired me to become an Army Combat Medic. A great time of my life.
ME TOO!!!!
I remember watching this movie at the Drive end with my Dad. Gary Burghoff was in the original Radar in the movie.
This song is a classic...as well the movie 🍿...R I P Hawkeye 😮
When we graduated as combat medics at Ft. Sam, the military band played this for our final review as we marched by.
Saw the film at the base theater.
@@James-n4x
I miss standing to attention at the base theater for the National Anthem and when the symbols crashed, everyone would go "PSSSSHH!!"
I was an MP at Ft. Sam Houston in the early 1970's just as the hostilities in Vietnam were ending. The TV show MASH was on once a week. It was a pretty well watched TV show on post. It actually meant something to many on the post.
Wow! What a great tune by the late Johnny Mandel. Movie brings back great memories from the early 70's. My uncle Felix took me and buddy Richard to view it back in El Paso TX. R.I.P. uncle Felix & Johnny Mandel....
Fifteen year old Michael Altman( son of Robert Altman) wrote the lyrics. Johnny mandal wrote the music.
I was a medic with the 3rd Marines when this movie came out. I can relate.
You weren't a hospital corpsman?
Rest in Peace, Donald Sutherland.
What a wonderful and an all-time favourite film that set up the series and that song and the lyrics still blow me away to this day. I remember the Manic Street Preachers doing a version but they never did justice.
Fun fact , the director Robert Altman asked his teenage son to write the lyrics to suicide is painless thinking he would come up with something very amateurish and nonsensical . The song turned out to be a big hit and the young man owned the copyrights to the song . This made him financially secure for the rest of his life as he still receives royalty checks .
I'm sure it had nothing to do with being Jewish with Hollywood connections.
The song reminds me of how I felt as a teenager :)
@@mindfulmaximalism another anti-semite...youll never win....go to gaza and meet a goat...What is your excuse for being an unsuccessful balding overweight loser? Did a jew do that to you?

This was (I.M.O) a 6/10 movie that launched a 10/10 tv series
In school I had a teacher that was a very good singer and sang her songs with *Alot of emotion. Every once in a while, she would sing this and "One tin Soldier". On those days nobody was standing at the door waiting for the bell, we were all sitting, listening and some using tissues, we didn't run out at the bell, we all walked out thinking.
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
That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it
If I please
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
Suicide is painless (suicide)
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it
If I please
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
Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it
If I please
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?"
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
Cool
Morphine song.
That song was written by a kid...
@@brianhinkel7833 I know. I wrote it.
You're Robert Altmans son?
As a kid, I loved this show.
After my multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan I can only watch this completely drunk and then sob for hours.
I'm sorry, homie. Thank you so much for your service.
I’m sorry. I hope you have a good support system ❤
Thank you for your service !
RIP Donald Southerlund
That is the best song I ever heard give that kid a cigar
A piece of wonderful history not to be forgotten by many but as the song hints to some of us have left to them I say RIP!
RIP Donald Sutherland. This movie was the first time I was aware of your work.
Love this song
MASH is my favorite show ever. This song is great and sad at the same time. I know so many people who have taken their own lives. One of which is my oldest daughters father before she had a chance to meet hm.
I listen to this song a lot. I want to .... the words are too hard to say. The game of life is hard to play and I'm gonna lose it anyway.
Hang in there, darlin. 🌻
my grand dad loved this show i remember watching this with him when i was a kid he was a tail gunner on the b-52 in ww2....
I've always loved the song and used the lyrics for speech competition when I was in High school (75-79).
0In 2000, while I was stationed at Camp Humphreys (formerly K-6) in the Republic of Korea, I had the pleasure to have my medical care taken care of by the unit that was the basis of the 4077th MASH! They embraced their legacy set and made famous by the Movie and then the television series MASH.
As a stroke survivor. For me life sucks with very little I can do ..to compound matters my girlfriend ditched me and cut contact with me. The pain is quite bad physical and emotionbal fortunately Singapore is a nice place with many nice people who are supportive of others in pain. Many have come forward to give support in multiple ways. Through physical means and prayer. In your shoes I would say you did have some good experiences and what you might have is a good old days syndrome where like in the song the way we were. We remember the wonderful stuff but forget the bad stuff. Me. I feel at this point the future. Is really
Bleak and listen to this song to put my feelings into a spoken word or song. I mean really suicide as an option is painless but I still have this feels Ng I am not finished my purpose yet. So pain or no. I still must carry on recover and never give up until I recover. I hope you fel better soon. I recall mash the TV series and how the series ended cos one of the lead actors was tired of acting his part. Anyways. God bless ed us with some really good times that we can actually miss. Salutes.
I remember watching "Mash" after "Hogan’s Heroes".
"Hogan's Heroes' trivia for you. Do you know why it is always winter in every episode of the show? It's so that if they are shown out of order there is still a continuity to the series. The series was coming out just at the advent of syndication, and the producers were thinking ahead.
This is beautiful song yet sad😢
The music biz is crazy... these are the same singers who sang background on every Partridge Family record! (The Ron Hicklin singers, featuring John and Tom Bahler)
Funny, I have no nostalgia for the TV series. Too preachy. But I still have a special place in my heart for the movie, which has VERY funny scenes throughout, while also subtly conveying a sense of poignancy about what is happening overall. Donald Sutherland's performance is a big part of both.
As one who served in the USMC from 1981-1989, I find the TV series not preachy at all - they were trying to get a very important point through to people who just ... refuse to listen. I'm proud of my service, the Corps, and my country (and I would serve again if sent back in time) - but I'm intelligent enough to recognize that some things need fixing. Sgt J. Alexander 3MAW, VMA(AW)-242, VMA(AW)-121, CV-61 USS Ranger
its no wonder there are many that go mad in that situations its about in this serie.
As soon as you hear the helicopter at the beginning and the music and MASH is coming on tv, yes these lyrics make sense now
This brings back memories. As a Brit I first saw it on Brit TV in 1973; It is so very poignant. I really doubt that it would be made to be shown on modern TV networks. It does not glorify war enough. The futility of war and the humanity of the cast are so clearly portrayed. I can look at episodes now fifty yeas later and it brings tears to my eyes, My personal sense of fifty years gone and my grown capacity to see the waste of life are intermingled. I do not like people seeing me cry so I must calm myself before going downstairs.
This is my 3rd favorite movie behind The Big Lebowsky and Cool Hand Luke
One of the best shows ever made.
I love this version of this song it makes you think
My father served in Korea in The New Zealand K Force Regiment. He adopted the Korean cuisine, lovely food, just trying to find the ingredients when he came back was a mission. 😂❤
I always play this song day and night
This is incredible
What a great show. Oh the memories.
Robert Altman's son wrote the lyrics (not the music) for this song when he was 18 years old and all he wanted was a guitar as payment but one of the co-producers of the film insisted he would get the standard credits for writing the lyrics. He wound up making over $1 million over the years and his dad Robert Altman was only paid $75K for directing the film!
Thanks for the info . I like the lyrics
He was actually 14, which makes it more amazing.
@@amiblueful The director wanted "I'm 14 and this is deep" energy. Literally, he wanted the lyrics to be bad.
He gave the task to his teenage son, who knocked it out in one afternoon.
@@HALLish-jl5moAnd Ingo Preminger was the who who insisted on paying the kid properly. "I don't want to steal your ideas."
I still have the 45.
People didn't want to forget the life they were born into despite all the many changes that wouldn't just help them forget, demand that they do.
Would wake from dead sleep to turn tv off when mash would come on..song was so depressing
Wow
Sublime.
Temazo de esta serie.
R.I.P Donald
Watched this show as a much younger person, great show, greater tune, god bless all that served??!!❤❤🩹❤
I had a music teacher that said he had the sheet music for the song and since the actor pierce was from Quapaw Oklahoma he contacted him for the music. It was really interesting to find this out .
You can buy the sheet music. I've had it for at least 30 years. It's even easier to buy now than it was 30 years ago.
pierce was from mane. BJ's farther in law was from Quapaw, and so am I. I served two tours at Kunsan Korea in the 70s. My farther was there in 1953. @@srellison561

Rip donald Sutherland
2:29 Me in 1979, lying to my buddy, with snow on the ground outside the tent. "It's not cold!" My buddy, wrapped up in his sleeping bag: "Looks cold to me." One night in Korea, had my canteen in my sleeping bag with me - and woke up to find a pop-sickle.
Jo An Pflug was gorgeous.
Fantastic editing!
apparently when i was a child (like 3 or 4) i asked my parents to dance with me to this
I didn’t understand this intro or show until I enlisted. I opened Pandora’s box
Trapper John : I need olives for my Martinis.
Hawkeye : We make sacrifices. You do know there's a war on ?
Trapper produces small jar of olives from his pocket.
That was a man who was well prepared for the horrors and vicissitudes of army service. He knew you can't mix a proper Martini without olives. How else can you survive a war ?
RIP Hawkeye. The one and only Donald Sutherland.
RIP, Donald
This was always on late at night in the UK but we didn’t have the channel to watch it but we could see M*A*S*H on the guide all this time for 15 odd years I thought it was p*rn
Lol odd story but true

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
That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it

I'm gonna lose it anyway
The losing card I'll someday lay
So this is all I have to say
Suicide is painless (suicide)
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it
If I please
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
Suicide is painless

But not for those of us left in it's wake 38 years and I'm still dealing with the aftermath of it. I miss you Joe 1959 1986.
I 💘 this M.A.S.H
one of the great antiwar films.
...un quattordicenne 😮 ha scritto questa magnifica canzone!!
This is very depressing song 😢
I just recently learm that a 14 year old boy wrote the lyrics! Crazy!
Shoe Shine Boy rules
MASH was so good. Loved the TV show, but maybe the movie was better. So hard to decide
The only TV show to take a 37 month conflict and make it last 11 years... ;-P
Well, technically, North and South are still at war, since they only signed a cease-fire agreement, not a surrender...
Peace
Best doctors nurses in this movie i wish we doctors nurses in this usa
2024 - The Worst Year Ever.
Making this an ideal time to revisit this song
That was 2020. I’m happier now than 2020
Life is not a game only the peopke gave power to the devil that why we suffer
I love the cats...i'm a cat women...❤❤❤
Saw this movie on tv and wrote the title suicide is painless down to see if i could find it on a record came back later and saw that my mother had added NO SIR IT IS NOT on the paper I had to explain that it was a song
The war is a Kafkian novel, written by the very same author of the Fly novel
In my opinion the first three series were the best (with Henry Blake) I think it started going down hill after that, but the theme music endured.
The Vietnam war was a war not to forget it's important to understand that we need to keep our country's safe.
Irrelevant to this video as M*A*S*H took place in Korea.
would'nt be nic if ..no war, no hate. we are all human.
✌️💚💜
No'one knows the meaning of this song but me, it's talking about ENLIGHTENMENT FOOL not physically taking your life.

I remembered this song and I was struggling to remember the exact song name
I would never think about suicide if a had not such a fucking damn autoimmune disease. if you are healthy, you can do everything. But if you have disease, which is slowly crippling you, you are seriously doomed- and worse I’m pretty sure in 100- 200 years or earloer we could cure this stuff or at least stop the progress.
They wouldn't play the words for this song on the TV show, not fit for family.

This is me today😕
Love or leave ask for help😊
Life is so painful and cruel for the weak that I welcome our extinction as a species. Sorry but that's how I feel.
My uncle is surgeon.

Ain't that the truth?

Thanks for everything Mr Sutherland
