Some bonds go deeper than others.

Rating: 9/10 (1 August 2007)

At it's very core,The Deer Hunter is a basic story of friendship and how some bonds go deeper than others.The film makes you look at your own friendships and wonder to yourself just how far you would go for those that you call friends.Here you have six men,who without being mushy or saying the words out loud,love each other very much.They have their spats from time to time,but all friends do.They love their friends and they love their country,and are willing to fight to the death for both.Three of these friends enlist in the army with the intention of doing just that.They face the hell that was Vietnam for their friends and their country.Two return,one is AWOL and they are forced to leave him behind.One,out of love,returns to find his friend and bring him home.Do you have friends like that?Love De Niro,love Chris Walken,love Meryl Streep.The Deer Hunter is great dramatic cinema.
