The Deer Hunter is an astonishing, powerful and vivid epic about three men, steelworkers from Pennsylvania, whose lives are changed irrevocably in the tragic devastation of the Vietnam war.
When Michael, Steven and Nick are captured by the Vietcong, they are forced to play Russian Roulette by their brutal captors, who make bets on their survival. The experience of capture leaves them with terrible physical and spiritual wounds and when Michael returns to Saigon to fulfil an old vow to one of his friends, he makes an unexpected, horrific discovery.
Director Michael Cimino's The Deer Hunter won no less than 5 Oscars in 1978, for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Best Editing and Best Sound.

I thought The Deer Hunter was a pretty good movie, I'm usually not into any kind of war movies at all but this one kept me interested. I really think it shows what happened in Vietnam even though it may be graphic it's a pretty decent movie. I really liked how Mike went back for Nick, I thought that was probably the best part of the movie, because it showed how much their friendship meant to him, I'm sure other people would have just left him there. I also feel like he went back to make Nick realise that if he stayed there longer, he would honestly go insane. One thing that kind of didn't work for me during the film was when Mike and the other guy fell off the helicopter, i thought that was pretty random, but it still fit with the story line. I think the music for the film kinda of made it seem more dramatic than it really was, so that was probably the only bad thing about the movie, for me anyways.
Great film
