'The Deer Hunter' Is So Powerful
A few days ago I watched again a movie with profound qualities. The film is 'The Deer Hunter.' It has so much gripping and poignant interpretation into the harsh material that is the modern war experience. In this film the focal point is the Vietnam War. I know the people that had WWII had hard times and of course the people of now with Iraq, Afghanistan and the other Mideast theater experiences are filled with so many things flooding through their minds. But for some of us the huge one was Vietnam. I had many friends who were there. The dimensions of their experiences are so complicated. This film, 'The Deer Hunter' with giant acting names like Robert DeNiro and Christopher Walken is a monumental piece of cinematic art, indeed.
