here you go craven

Rating: Null/10 (22 December 2006)

Throughout the film, Deer Hunter, Mike has always been a guy that follows the rules simply because those are the rules. A prime example of Mike following the rules is when the men all go hunting, Mike states over and over again that it is all about one shot, that is what counts. If you shot and kill a deer with one shot, you receive more meat from the animal and you do not put the animal through as much pain. Before the men leave for Vietnam, Mike and Nicky promise each other that they will leave together and not leave each other behind. Mike must fulfill his promise to Nicky because NIcky is his best friend and a promise is like a rule, you have to keep it. Mike truly cares about Nicky, and really wants him to come home. Another reason for Mike wanting Nicky to come home has to do with a romantic interest. Before leaving for Vietnam, Nicky asked a woman to marry him, she said yes. When Mike came home before Nicky, they started a romantic relationship. Mike wanted to work things out with Nicky before he took the relationship with this woman any further.
