In the film “M.A.S.H”(1970), was about at the height point of the Vietnam War, this brilliant black comedy was set during the Korean War but reflected on the more recent conflict transparently. Altman looked away from the carnage in favor of a nastily detailed depiction of camp life during the war. This film gave Altman in position to do what he wanted to do for a long time.

This indicated something important or unfortunate was about to happen when. This helped everything seem dramatic and kept viewers on the edge while they waited for something to happen.

Music is one of the aspects the director uses to catch the viewers’ attention and to build up tension and suspense. In the last scene, the music starts when Malcolm realizes the truth of him being a ghost. Classical music is used in the film; fast pace, grand music is played. The music gets even louder and grander when it meets the Voice-over and Flashbacks when he starts to realize him as a ghost, then a sound of a gunshot from the night he died is played. After the Flashback of the night and remembering the last moment, the music turns into slow, calm, romantic music, creating a warm mood as it’s implying a happy ending. The director uses dynamics in music shows the crisis and resolution indirectly. Two Shot of the Malcolm and Anna are shown at the start and the end of the film.

“The French New wave was a coherent movement, which existed for a limited period of time, and whose emergence was favored by series of simultaneous factors intervening at the close of the 1950s, and especially during 1958-9” (pg. 2). Matilda applied urban settings to the film to give it a more urban feel to its story, which was something the French New Wave movement heavily influenced in the film industry.

Culture in its simplest form is the arts that define the regional collective human intellectual achievement of the era.
