Question: what was wrong with angela in the deer hunter

title: The Deer Hunter
text: Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun - Times gave the film four stars and called it `` one of the most emotionally shattering films ever made . '' Gene Siskel from the Chicago Tribune praised the film , saying , `` This is a big film , dealing with big issues , made on a grand scale . Much of it , including some casting decisions , suggest inspiration by The Godfather . '' Leonard Maltin also gave the film four stars , calling it a `` sensitive , painful , evocative work '' . Vincent Canby of the New York Times called The Deer Hunter `` a big , awkward , crazily ambitious motion picture that comes as close to being a popular epic as any movie about this country since The Godfather . Its vision is that of an original , major new filmmaker . '' David Denby of New York called it `` an epic '' with `` qualities that we almost never see any more -- range and power and breadth of experience . '' Jack Kroll of Time asserted it put director Cimino `` right at the center of film culture . '' Stephen Farber pronounced the film in New West magazine as `` the greatest anti-war movie since La Grande Illusion . ''
