This epic look at the Vietnam War and its effects told through the lives of a tight knit group of friends from a Pennsylvania town was Michael Cimino's second film and established him in the pantheon of American directors. Complex and emotionally raw performances from Robert De Niro and Meryl Streep earned each an Academy Award nomination, and Christopher Walken's portrayal of Nick, who survives capture but is unable to escape its trauma, is a tour de force that earned him the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. With a keen eye for nuance and a carefully structured script, Cimino interweaves the rituals great and small that make up the lives of his characters, creating a poignant sense of what remained constant and what was forever changed by their experience of the war.

The Physical and Mental Effects of Excessive Russian Roulette: Michael Cimino's THE DEER HUNTER
| Author's Rating: |
|
Pros: Intense, violent character study as good as you've ever seen
Cons: Probably not to some viewers's taste
Bottom Line:
I would argue this is the best movie made about the Vietnam war because it graphically illustrates the toll war takes on the body, mind, and spirit. An spectacular film.
