An Emotionally Shattering Experience ***Spoiler Alert***

Rating: 10/10 (13 April 2000)

"The Deer Hunter" has to be one of the most powerful films ever. It is certainly one of the most powerful films I have seen. While this movie is looked upon as a war movie I think it is much more than that, I think it is a character study of how war affects people, not just the people involved in the war but their families also. There are moments in this film that I will never forget, like the absolutely terrifying russian roulette scene, if you think about the situation the characters are in it is very terrifying. An emotionally shattering experience.
