An epic and emotional war drama

Rating: 10/10 (2 April 2014)

Michael Cimino's The Deer Hunter is a a great war film that really stays true to it's genre and it's storyline. The film also includes a great cast for a war movie such as Robert De Niro (in one of his best performances.), Meryl Streep, John Cazale, Christopher Walken, George Dzundza, and John Savage. Co- writer, producer, and director Michael Cimino knows how to execute an excellent war movie. The movie should have won De Niro an Oscar for his hard work at portraying his character perfectly. Also the film has great supporting work from both Christopher Walken and Meryl Streep (in her first academy award nominated performance.). The movie has excellent cinematography,writing,acting, and costumes. This is one of the best war movies i have ever watched in my entire life. This a very sad story but a great movie at the same time and it is a total must see but it isn't a movie for the whole family.
