The Deer Hunter

Rating: Null/10 (11 December 2008)

I think that Mike went back for Nicky because he promised him that no matter what he wouldn't leave him in Vietnam dead or alive. And Mike is such a good friend that he would not break his promise, even if Nicky didn't want to go or if he found him dead. It shows how strong of a character Mike is. And I feel also that he felt bad for Nicky's girlfriend so he was partly doing it for her satisfaction. I think that it brings closure to the movie, and helps people understand that the director of the movie was trying to get the point across that the Vietnam war was one of the most traumatizing and brutally gross wars we have yet to see.
