the deer hunter 28 years latter

Rating: 8/10 (26 June 2006)

i watched this movie yesterday ,i tivoed it ....i originally saw the movie in 78 amidst the Oscar buzz... now 28 years latter what a treat to watch it again, i remembered so little of it , maybe i was extremely tired that evening ,i am not sure...great performances , great casting and the advantage of tivo is i could fast forward the hunting scenes and the long wedding.....one thing that bothered me was the mountains were the western cascades and not the Appalachians ....this really bothered me why the director would make this choice, a decision i totally disagree with, i know the movie was also filmed in Ohio , you are just one state away from the Appalachians as opposed to 2,000 miles from the cascades.....this is personnel but all the leads in this movie seem to have not aged very well. wonderful movie , if you have not watched it a while do so.
