8/10 [recommended]the horrors of war
The Deer Hunter is An in-depth examination of the way the Vietnam war affects the lives of people in a small industrial town in the USA.
The Deer Hunter takes us through the effects of war with three close knit friends, showing us that there is nothing glamourous or glorifying about war. This film has some scenes of blood and violence but the uneasiness this film creates does not come from any of these elements. The sheer fear and unease comes from a single bullet and a revolver. Without revealing too much, the element of the bullet and revolver help to emphasize the horrors that comes with war.
Absolutely brilliant casting with Robert De Niro, John Cazale, John Savage, Meryll Streep, and Christopher Walken (all in their younger years).
This is not a easy relaxing film but one that is psychologically straining. Well shot and worth checking out.
