GT - The Deer Hunter
Im watching the Deer Hunter for the first time, and boy howdy is this movie taking its time to get going - 50 minutes into the flock and were still at the wedding.
Most of this could have been cut.
Young Christopher Walken looks positively angelic. Like Sauron before the Melkor-worship.

Obviously, there will be spoilers.
That entire wedding sequence that goes on for half an hour does pay off with the news that buddy never even slept with his pregnant wife.
As if going to Vietnam wasn’t kick in the dick enough.

As awful as this small steel town life looks, I envy them their lack of smart phones.

Great movie, intense. Saw this at North Hill with that big-ass dished screen and 70mm Dolby the year it came out (1978). The great John Cazale appeared in five major films over a seven years, all of which were nominated for best picture. Cool thread btw. Kinda neat to GT an old and great movie seen for the first time.

This is not how I would choose to spend my last day before going to war, but is undeniably real. There has been nothing inauthentic so far.

And they just realized where they’re going. Beautiful scene with George Dzunda on the piano.

They got dropped off by the helicopters just in time to be captured. That’s rough.

It never occurred to me that they’d re-spin the gun after each round.

The first time you pull the trigger and the gun doesn’t go off… you can never be the same.

That may have been the single best scene of any movie I’ve ever witnessed. The stuff of nightmares.

Stevie is going to be lucky if he doesn’t fall off the hood of that jeep, they didn’t appear to tie him down.

Thus far, Meryl Streep has felt under used. Though she’s probably not Meryl Streep yet.
But then, she must be - this is a heavy hitter of a movie. She wasn’t a nobody.
