Deer Hunter Director: Michael Cimino

A group of young people, there is no night and day, only indulgence and madness, the hot fire of the steel factory, the passionate music and wine at the bar table, the wanton provocative cars, the non-stop chase in the woods, the warning of one shot, to the Vietnam War thoughts...

A pair of newlyweds, union is parting, the bride's white wedding dress leaked red wine ambush her husband's tragedy. But those young people have only joy and passion. They think the battlefield is their deer hunting ground. The great wolf will not bless the hunters but curse them. Warning, but suffered endless ridicule, the great death has written a script for this group of young people.

Three men who paid for the war. Steve is physically disabled and lives in a nursing home, with the intention not to drag his family down; Nick has been staying in Saigon, suffering from PTSD-like illness, in a trance, in the endless cycle of Russian roulette, one shot, and one word; galloping deer hunting Mike on the field is also not in the same spirit as he used to be, with hesitation and compassion in his eyes.

War has never been divided into justice and evil, and the battlefield has never been a place to squander passion. The victory of any party is built on the bones, the dead cannot be chased, and the living raise a glass to drown their sorrows, I am afraid it will be a lifelong nightmare.

    Fragmented narrative, cut out the most powerful nodes in each period before the war-the battle-after the war. We see that the war has changed every individual who participated in the war, and the war has changed the group of small towns, so the war has changed the whole-the United States At first glance, that grand wedding may be just a gorgeous display, but at the end, you will find that it is actually an anti-color prophecy, just like the death of a Russian soldier under Russian roulette.

    I almost watched crying, the soundtrack was so heartbreaking. The first hour was by no means mediocre, but I thought it was the strongest overall of the three paragraphs: a trivial fate hides in it, and the psychological wall that will be built by the war has already emerged before it starts. Just look at each indulgence, and it is unorganized. His behavior is always like a mixture of fear and forgetting. From the perspective of the viewer, this mixed sadness is very strong during the noisy hour. In the next two paragraphs, the execution of the climax part was amazing, and I couldn’t breathe, but there was really no strong point throughout the whole process. Perhaps this is the case, except for the familiar "De Niro-style" stubborn character, the film did not participate in the war. All the motivations of the writer can be fully explained, not to mention today far away from purgatory. It can only be said that the most unique thing about this movie is that it perfectly presents the sense of isolation brought about by war. The Russian runners have constructed their psychological labyrinth— —What does the deer refer to? Moreover, the advantage of the two-stage theory is that it gives the audience the illusion that the author has constructed two worlds: the human world and hell. The war to some extent really causes a qualitative change in people. All of the above are extremely purposeful. Practice, it does have a strong appeal

    Michael: You have to think about one shot. One shot is what it's all about. A deer's gotta be taken with one shot.

  • Julien: When a man says no to champagne, he says no to life.
