Directed by Michael Cimino
A group of working-class friends decide to enlist in the Army during the Vietnam War and finds it to be hellish chaos -- not the noble venture they imagined. Before they left, Steven married his pregnant girlfriend -- and Michael and Nick were in love with the same woman. But all three are different men upon their return.

ME SEEING JOHN CAZALE: Uh, weird guy
ME READING THAT JOHN CAZALE WAS MERYL'S HUSBAND WHO WAS DYING OF CANCER AND SHE ONLY TOOK THE THANKLESS GIRLFRIEND PART IN THIS MOVIE TO BE BY HIS SIDE 24/7 IN HIS LAST DAYS: Oh 🥺
The Deer Hunter ends with Meryl singing and a freeze frame. Four stars!
The first half is a bit serious, with the second half a lighthearted trip down easy street. I recommend watching for a time where you need cheering up, and hang on in there till the end.
One of the first films to employ Vietnam War into its premise, The Deer Hunter tells the story of a trio of young factory workers who enlist into the army to fight the ongoing war in Vietnam, only to discover that war isn't a noble venture they imagined it to be but a hellish chaos which ultimately ends up transforming their entire personalities.
The film features a three act structure, with the first act introducing its three primary characters, their friendships, the women they are in love with & their perspectives on life. The second act is set in Vietnam and covers the brutality they undergo there. And the final act depicts the changes war brought into not just their lives…

This movie made $50 mil at the box office, selling roughly 21 million tickets. More than F9, JOHN WICK 3, BLACK WIDOW and countless other blockbusters today. I thought of that and how some people within the industry complain that the Oscars doesn't award popular films anymore, as if this wouldn't be lucky to make $12 mil at the box office today if it got a theatrical release at all. It's the audience that abandoned good films that's the problem, not the Oscars.
Then I thought about my little brother, who isn't into movies as an art form but goes somewhat frequently. I told him to go see EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE and he said maybe but he had…
When the “going to Vietnam” plans make it out of the groupchat
Was no one gonna tell me that young Christopher Walken was FINE
