I love watching the Deer Hunter. It's neither pro nor anti war. It's a movie about some budies that go Deer Hunting one last time before they go to Veitnam and how they are changed when they come back. If you want to see acting see this movie. Robert DeNiro, Christopher Walken, John Cazale, Meryl Streep, and John Savage all put in flawless performances. This is a man's man's movie that will make most men cry. Watch it with a cold Rolling Rock (DeNiro's beer of choice in the movie) The Russian Roulette scenes are as cool as they are emotional. This is the shattered dream of when you're an 8 year old boy. Going off to war with your budies. But this ain't no dream. This is this!!!!!!
