Catch 22 - 7

This is a 1970 film by Mike Nichols (Closer, Wit, The Graduate, etc). It is a dark comedy about war. It is set in Italy, with American army air force officers during WWII. It asks some very good questions. What is worth dying for? What is war for or against? Is the Empire inherently good or evil? How do economics fit with war and peace? All good questions, and questions that one cannot avoid engaging after watching this film. The film shows how paradox depends ultimately on the allegiances of those that believe and enforce them.
