		The chaplain had mastered, in a moment of divine intuition, the handy technique of protective rationalization, and he was exhilirated by his discovery.
		It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honor, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice.

		Unfamiliar to the original text, I found it a little confusing at the beginning to gauge the events transpiring on screen.
		Once the initial confusion lapsed, I was treated with the numerous wry, sarcastic and fantastic performances by many fine actors including Jon Voight as the Enterprising Milo Minderbinder, Anthony Perkins as Chaplain Tappman, Charles Grodin as Aarfy Aardvark and my personal favourite Major Major played by Bob Newhart.
		Many scenes are breath taking with squadrons of bomber planes taking off and crash landing with actors in constant dialogue in the foreground.

		This is an image of a man trapped in a machine and isolated by the lack of communication--an apt image for the human individual in the false community that is modern industrial society.
		Danby can be seen as a ray of hope for all because he lacks courage but seems to be becoming increasingly more aware of the situation and his choices.
		The small group of individuals--Yossarian, Chaplain Tappman, and Major Danby--that closes out the novel appears to be truly concerned about one another, capable of actually communicating among themselves, and able to decide upon a course of action that is beneficial to all.

		Heller also co-authored the nonfiction "No Laughing Matter," which told of his bout in the early 1980s with Guillain-Barre syndrome, a paralyzing nerve disorder from which he fully recovered.
