A group of friends spends their days working at the factory, getting drunk and hunting deers. Three of the friends get drafted fro Vietnam and things change dramatically. Two of them return back live but totally changed and one of them gets stuck in his own hell back in Vietnam...
Michael Cimino may have directed the most epic anti-war film ever made. Much like Apocalypse Now, The Deer Hunter is a non-stop sequence through intense scenes that put you right into the shoes of the characters. Showing how easily a war can affect even people that are not directly in it, this film draws a fine picture of what the toll of war is to everyday people. Heavily emotional,gloom and ironic in every chance, this is a film not for the faint of heart.
Robert De Niro, in one of his classic and probably best performances, plays a man who is left to carry the weight of war twice around the world in order to save the life of his best friend, Christopher Walken, when he finds out he is still alive in Vietnam. Walken is a magnificent depiction of the psychological effect and derangement of war while John Savage, another friend and survivor, is back home but denied by all of his friends and family. John Cazale is equally stunning as a true ignorant of anything and Meryl Streep swaggers between depression and dean-ends.
Must watch this : if you watch this with people, make sure they are not the loud kind during films. Cook something together and then lets the film's 3 hours drive you into a silent dungeon and fuck you up emotionally. After the film, make sure you use that emotional weight on a constructive dialogue!
