An excellent story of friendship, family, celebration, defeat, and jubilation

Rating: 10/10 (28 April 2006)

Deer Hunter is one of the greatest films ever shot. The main character (Mike-(DeNero)) struggles as a young man in the Vietnam era he is drafted the character clearly shows that his is on the side of survival and unification of the friends he has in his war efforts in NAM. (Nick-(Walken)) gives an Acadamy Award winning performance and has a final scene that will leave you shaken disturbed and breathless. Both sanity and the will to survive are tested. The film is noting short of a cut above silver. I would recommend seeing this film on the premise that you like Christopher Walken, Robert DeNero, war films, the universal struggles of good v evil, and the appeal of twists and turns of surprising plot elements.
