Wildly quotable. Increasingly ridiculous and hopelessly inescapable. A war satire like no other, as if\nDr. Strangelove\nwas shot from the POV of a boots-on-the-ground soldier. Probably sacrificing a lot of subtext from the novel in the name of marketability, but I don’t really care. \n“You traded my parachute for a bunch of statues?”\n“Well, no, point of fact—I traded our diesel engines for the statues.”\nMajor Major. The Syndicate. Chocolate-covered cotton. The everlasting ubiquity of the military-industrial complex. This shit is absolutely hilarious to me, and so much of it is still just as prevalent in the…\nmore\nfeels like the film in itself is a catch-22, you need to have read (and loved) the book to truly appreciate it but you won’t appreciate it (as much) BECAUSE you read the book. \ni could be wrong\nCatch-22\nis a mess. I'm fairly certain it's meant to be. Episodic, non-chronological, absurd, and surreal, from a distance it looks and feels like it's trying to be too many things. Somehow director Mike Nichols manages (for the most part) to make it all work astoundingly well.\nBeginning with one of the funniest first hours I have ever had the pleasure to see,\nCatch-22\nparades its stars about in loosely-related vignettes highlighting the anti-war statement at the core of the story. From mess officers bartering parachutes to the locals (their original owners only noticing once they're in the air) to a too-brief cameo by a young Bob Newhart playing a character named Capt. Major (soon promoted to Major), the first…\nmore\nRecent reviews\nMore\nI thought it was a bit too serious and I didnt really like the portrayal of yossarian. Not sure how id feel about the movie if I wasn't such a big fan of the book.\nNo likes yet\nThis is Doctor Strangelove, but better. \nWow.\nNo likes yet\nAn admirable attempt at translating a rather unadaptable text to the screen. It's nicely directed; darkly surreal, satirical, funny, and absurd, with a slew of great actors, though it comes together as a series of funny, strange, increasingly chaotic moments, and the circular logic is amusing but lacks profundity.\nNo likes yet\nPopular Lists\nMore\nZelig (1983)\nCaché (2005)\nPrincess Arete (2001)\nAsako I & II (2018)\nThe Libertine (1968)","attrs_markdown":"# [Letterboxd

Captain…you’re out of uniform.”*\n\nBeautifully nonsensical and disjointed. One of the most well-utilized casts of all time. Wildly quotable. Increasingly ridiculous and hopelessly inescapable. A war satire like no other, as if *Dr. Strangelove* was shot from the POV of a boots-on-the-ground soldier. Probably sacrificing a lot of subtext from the novel in the name of marketability, but I don’t really care.\n\n*“You traded my parachute for a bunch of statues?” “Well, no, point of fact—I traded our diesel engines for the statues.”*\n\nMajor Major. The Syndicate. Chocolate-covered cotton. The everlasting ubiquity of the military-industrial complex. This shit is absolutely hilarious to me, and so much of it is still just as prevalent in the… [more](https:\/\/letterboxd.com\/film\/catch-22\/)\n\n[269 likes](https:\/\/letterboxd.com\/mjohnson18\/film\/catch-22\/likes\/)\n\n[![hanan](https:\/\/a.ltrbxd.com\/resized\/avatar\/upload\/6\/2\/0\/8\/5\/0\/shard\/avtr-0-80-0-80-crop.jpg?v=329319fce7)](https:\/\/letterboxd.com\/peachwaves\/)\n\n[Review by **hanan**](https:\/\/letterboxd.com\/peachwaves\/film\/catch-22\/ \"Read hanan’s review\")\n\nfeels like the film in itself is a catch-22, you need to have read (and loved) the book to truly appreciate it but you won’t appreciate it (as much) BECAUSE you read the book.\n\ni could be wrong\n\n[194 likes](https:\/\/letterboxd.com\/peachwaves\/film\/catch-22\/likes\/)\n\n[![PTAbro](https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/f3f5c90e9b7ab6a64f3bc9f89edf3e6e?rating=PG&size=80&border=&default=https%3A%2F%2Fs.ltrbxd.com%2Fstatic%2Fimg%2Favatar80-CTtJ8HSs.png)](https:\/\/letterboxd.com\/ptabro\/)\n\n[Review by **PTAbro**](https:\/\/letterboxd.com\/ptabro\/film\/catch-22\/ \"Read PTAbro’s review\")\n\n[7](https:\/\/letterboxd.com\/ptabro\/film\/catch-22\/#comments)\n\n*Catch-22* is a mess. I'm fairly certain it's meant to be. Episodic, non-chronological, absurd, and surreal, from a distance it looks and feels like it's trying to be too many things.

One of the most well-utilized casts of all time. Wildly quotable. Increasingly ridiculous and hopelessly inescapable. A war satire like no other, as if Dr. Strangelove was shot from the POV of a boots-on-the-ground soldier. Probably sacrificing a lot of subtext from the novel in the name of marketability, but I don’t really care. “You traded my parachute for a bunch of statues?” “Well, no, point of fact—I traded our diesel engines for the statues.” Major Major. The Syndicate. Chocolate-covered cotton. The everlasting ubiquity of the military-industrial complex.

I'm fairly certain it's meant to be. Episodic, non-chronological, absurd, and surreal, from a distance it looks and feels like it's trying to be too many things. Somehow director Mike Nichols manages (for the most part) to make it all work astoundingly well. Beginning with one of the funniest first hours I have ever had the pleasure to see, Catch-22 parades its stars about in loosely-related vignettes highlighting the anti-war statement at the core of the story. From mess officers bartering parachutes to the locals (their original owners only noticing once they're in the air) to a too-brief cameo by a young Bob Newhart playing a character named Capt. Major (soon promoted to Major), the first… [more](https://letterboxd.com/film/catch-22/) [187 likes](https://letterboxd.com/ptabro/film/catch-22/likes/) ## [Recent reviews](https://letterboxd.com/film/catch-22/reviews/by/added/) [More](https://letterboxd.com/film/catch-22/reviews/by/added/) [![EricDubYuh](https://s.ltrbxd.com/static/img/avatar80-CTtJ8HSs.png)](https://letterboxd.com/ericdubyuh/) [Review by EricDubYuh](https://letterboxd.com/ericdubyuh/film/catch-22/ "Read EricDubYuh’s review") I thought it was a bit too serious and I didnt really like the portrayal of yossarian.

It's nicely directed; darkly surreal, satirical, funny, and absurd, with a slew of great actors, though it comes together as a series of funny, strange, increasingly chaotic moments, and the circular logic is amusing but lacks profundity.

Personally. A WWII military pilot makes a valiant effort to be certified insane in order to be excused from flying missions. But there’s a catch. ## [Popular reviews](https://letterboxd.com/film/catch-22/reviews/by/activity/) [More](https://letterboxd.com/film/catch-22/reviews/by/activity/) [![Matt\!](https://a.ltrbxd.com/resized/avatar/upload/7/3/4/4/8/7/9/shard/avtr-0-80-0-80-crop.jpg?v=3f28da1c64)](https://letterboxd.com/mjohnson18/) “Unless I miss my guess, Captain…you’re out of uniform.” Beautifully nonsensical and disjointed. One of the most well-utilized casts of all time. Wildly quotable. Increasingly ridiculous and hopelessly inescapable. A war satire like no other, as if Dr. Strangelove was shot from the POV of a boots-on-the-ground soldier. Probably sacrificing a lot of subtext from the novel in the name of marketability, but I don’t really care. “You traded my parachute for a bunch of statues?” “Well, no, point of fact—I traded our diesel engines for the statues.” Major Major. The Syndicate. Chocolate-covered cotton. The everlasting ubiquity of the military-industrial complex. This shit is absolutely hilarious to me, and so much of it is still just as prevalent in the… [more](https://letterboxd.com/film/catch-22/) [![hanan](https://a.ltrbxd.com/resized/avatar/upload/6/2/0/8/5/0/shard/avtr-0-80-0-80-crop.jpg?v=329319fce7)](https://letterboxd.com/peachwaves/) feels like the film in itself is a catch-22, you need to have read (and loved) the book to truly appreciate it but you won’t appreciate it (as much) BECAUSE you read the book. i could be wrong [![PTAbro](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/f3f5c90e9b7ab6a64f3bc9f89edf3e6e?rating=PG&size=80&border=&default=https%3A%2F%2Fs.ltrbxd.com%2Fstatic%2Fimg%2Favatar80-CTtJ8HSs.png)](https://letterboxd.com/ptabro/) Catch-22 is a mess. I'm fairly certain it's meant to be. Episodic, non-chronological, absurd, and surreal, from a distance it looks and feels like it's trying to be too many things. Somehow director Mike Nichols manages (for the most part) to make it all work astoundingly well. Beginning with one of the funniest first hours I have ever had the pleasure to see, Catch-22 parades its stars about in loosely-related vignettes highlighting the anti-war statement at the core of the story. From mess officers bartering parachutes to the locals (their original owners only noticing once they're in the air) to a too-brief cameo by a young Bob Newhart playing a character named Capt. Major (soon promoted to Major), the first… [more](https://letterboxd.com/film/catch-22/) ## [Recent reviews](https://letterboxd.com/film/catch-22/reviews/by/added/) [More](https://letterboxd.com/film/catch-22/reviews/by/added/) [![EricDubYuh](https://s.ltrbxd.com/static/img/avatar80-CTtJ8HSs.png)](https://letterboxd.com/ericdubyuh/) I thought it was a bit too serious and I didnt really like the portrayal of yossarian.

It's nicely directed; darkly surreal, satirical, funny, and absurd, with a slew of great actors, though it comes together as a series of funny, strange, increasingly chaotic moments, and the circular logic is amusing but lacks profundity.
