A black anti-war comedy directed by Nichols.

Description: During World War II, at a U.S. Air Force base stationed in the Mediterranean, many officers and soldiers tried to evade flight missions and obtain illegal wealth.

Yossarian lives in this bizarre world swirling around war monsters.

He was the captain bomber of a squadron to which this flying group belonged.

He entered the war with enthusiasm to save justice, made military exploits, and was promoted to captain.

However, slowly, in the conflict with the dangerous environment around him, and after witnessing all kinds of false, absurd, crazy, and cruel phenomena, he realized that he had been deceived.

He changed from seriousness to cynicism, from loving war to hating war.

He doesn't want to get promoted or make a fortune, nor does he want to make unnecessary sacrifices. He just wants to go home alive.

Seeing his companions die in batches, he felt very scared, and he was also afraid that the people around him would plot against him and kill him.

He repeatedly told that "every one of them wanted to kill me."

He is eager to save his life and is determined to escape from this "world".

So he pretended to be ill and tried to spend the rest of the war in hospital, but failed.

According to Catch-22, only lunatics can be allowed to fly, but they must apply for it themselves; at the same time, it is also stipulated that anyone who is aware of the dangers of flying and applies for exemption from flying is a sane person and should continue to fly.

Task.

Catch-22 also stipulates that pilots can return home after completing the number of flights specified by their superiors, but it also says that you must obey orders absolutely, otherwise you will not be allowed to return home.

Therefore, superiors can continue to increase the number of flights for pilots, but you are not allowed to disobey.

Repeatedly, never ending.

Finally, Yossarian finally understood that Catch-22 turned out to be a scam, a trap, and an insurmountable obstacle.

The world is governed by Catch-22 everywhere, like a dragnet from which you cannot escape.

He believes that people in the world are using so-called "just acts" to gain plunder for themselves.

Finally, he had to desert and flee to Sweden.

Adapted from Joseph Heller's famous novel, this is the most representative work in "black humor" literature. After its publication, it became a sensation in the European and American literary circles and became a best-seller. It was hailed by Western critics as the best book of the 1960s.

The novel has also become one of the classic works of contemporary American literature.

The movie uses humorous and sarcastic techniques to amplify an interesting caricature of human relationships.

The story revolves around this catch-22.

This is a military rule that cannot be broken. It is like a paradox in philosophy. It stipulates that no one can leave the army unless he is mentally ill. But can a mentally ill person ask to leave unless he is normal?

, this is a trap... The initial footage was shot very grandly, but the subsequent development was a bit confusing and loose, failing to penetrate the theme.

However, there are many sequences that are well shot and not less than entertaining.

Regarding the absurd turmoil in the original work: "Catch-22" When talking about "black humor" novels, one must mention Heller's "Catch-22", which is the most representative of "black humor" literature.

After being published, this work became a sensation in the European and American literary circles and became a best-seller. It was hailed by Western critics as the best novel of the 1960s and became one of the classic works of contemporary American literature.

"Catch-22" is a famous work by American writer Joseph Heller. It is based on the activities of a U.S. Air Force flying group stationed on Pianozza Island during World War II.

However, Heller did not describe the war in detail when writing this novel.

He paid no attention to whether the war was just or not, or whether the two sides won or lost.

With a feeling of deep disgust and even despair, he used war, a broad and chaotic stage, to express his subjective feelings of social absurdity and his personal situation and destiny in this society.

The author does not hesitate to use shocking words that distort phenomena so that readers can't help but doubt the essence. He uses seemingly impossible words to express things that may or actually happen, revealing the essence of the real life he lives in from the negative side.

The author outlines a bizarre and confusing world in front of us.

In this world, all kinds of weird things keep happening, and all kinds of eccentric characters keep running around, performing scenes of fanciful human farce.

Such as the absurd behavior of General Dreedle of the Flying Wing, General Peckham of the 27th Air Force Command, and others; the ambitious Second Lieutenant Scheskopf climbed up at all costs and finally became the lieutenant general commander; Daihatsu

Wenjie, the food manager who made a fortune from the war; Netule, who spent all his black market income on soda ash whiskey and obscene pictures, and so on.

Almost each of the above characters has a relatively independent story.
