Sorry but the movie was too long

Rating: 5/10 (3 August 2015)

I don't know about everybody else but to me the movie was too long. The first hour was slow but it was pointed out by others that this was intentional so as to show a sudden contrast to the intense war scene. The war scene was the best part of the movie and probably even ahead of its time but then we come back to after the war and it was slow once again. Also this time it was gloomy compared to how cheerful it was before the war. I do appreciate the comparison and it was almost poetic like a play but this was not what I was looking for in this movie. However even if this was what I was looking for it would still be too long. Red stain on the wedding dress and maybe the folks were very cheerful before the war sets the tone for what was about to come. On an entirely unrelated note the main character hunts deer for sport hence the deer hunter. In my opinion not worthy of being in the top 250 at least not anymore as there are lots of well deserved movies waiting to take its place.
