Fine Anti-War Flick

Rating: Null/10 (19 August 2004)

As many anti-war movies that we've been subjected to over the years, none quite capture the dark brutality of post conflict trauma like The Deer Hunter. Even though the movie is probably 70/30 Pennslyvania rather than Vietnam, the makers did a great job in making the Veitnamese section of the film as powerful as the domestic side.
Walken, DeNiro and Savage put together a rather palpable performances, each playing a different type of soldier going off to war. Deniro = The Silent-Silent-somewhat Hyper Type, closeted lover of his , Walken Thinking man's soldier, Savage = Gung-Ho Kill em all type. Deniro becomes local hero, Savage = Paraplegic and Distant father and Walken in the end becomes a Junkie (Track Marks and gaunt look are clearly evident) Zombie. Although not quite Top 100 (definetly Top 250), Still a great way to kill 3 hours, yes 3 hours, buckle up!
