Deer hunter review

Crave this is Meaghan Cunningham from 4th block.
#1. The Russian Rulette symbolizes "one-shot kill". It somewhat refers to the place, the USA, that becomes completely destroyed and changed for the men and women who come home from the war. It ties in with the happiness that the men get when they shoot guns (ie go hunting) The hunters in essence become the hunted, and death has an all new meaning. I don't really agree of disagree with this concept, there are many types of patiotism that we talked about. None is better than another, at least that's how I feel.
#2. Michael, in the beginning is the strong one. While Nick and Steven fall apart, Michael is the strong hold keeping them together. He actually is so strong that he makes his friends rise to the occasion, and when he fails to be strong anymore Nick becomes strong, even though he's a little bit crazy at the time. But it turns out that even when one of them is strong, he can't carry the others and the can't save one another. I don't think it could have really happened differently..
#3. The french guy symbolizes the alliance of the french during the war and how it was kind of sketchy
#4. Mike goes back to Vietnam to find Nicky because when he goes home he sees that everyone misses him. Steve was receiving a lot of money for some reason from this mystery person and MIke knew it was from NIcky and he also knew it was money that he'd won from playing Russian roulette and that if he didn't go to get him he would die. But mike was too late to save him, which was sad.
