It started of as a war comedy, but progressed through some romance into a war drama.  Some of the jokes aged and aren&#8217;t funny anymore, but others stand as they were back in the 1970, when the film was released.  The atmosphere also reminds that of &#8220;Dr.Strangelove&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The film was directed by Mike Nichols, who is also famous by other films like &#8220;The Graduate&#8221;  with Dustin Hoffman, &#8220;Heartburn&#8221; with Jack Nicholson, &#8220;Angels in America&#8221; TV series with Al Pacino, and most recently &#8220;Closer&#8221; with a whole bunch of young celebrities.  &#8220;Catch-22&#8221; is the most technology challanging movie out of all these and there were some really interesting scenes.  Particularly I liked the take off of a bunch of planes and a crash landing of one of the planes in the beginning of the film.<\/p>\n<p>In the actors department, it was nice to see Martin Sheen.  He is one of the those people who bring the war atmosphere easily into the movie.  Also it was a good decision to give the main role to Alan Arkin.  He is a talanted actor and can contribute greatly.<\/p>\n<p>Resume: the film is a war and comedy classic and should be seen by anyone interested in the genres.<\/p>\n<!-- google_ad_section_end -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!-- google_ad_section_start -->\n<p>If I remember correctly, I heard about &#8220;Catch-22&#8221; in connection with &#8220;Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb&#8221; and that is one of my favourite movies, so I had to see &#8220;Catch-22&#8221; too.
