Customer Reviews of The Deer Hunter (Widescreen Edition)
Classic This movie is worth your money especially if you are a De Niro fan this movie is well acted and is very intense at points the particularly the Russian Roulettes scenes they are very at the edge of your seat moments in the movie and at the highst level of intensity Christopher Walkin is also great in this movie , I would some the movie up as a classic as it is rated in the top 100 movies of all time and it is a little depressing Highly Recomended
masterpiece
cimino would never rise to this level again but that's ok. this is a moving, complex movie about a group of steelworkers who go to vietnam. this movie is less about vietnam specifically and more about friendship, love and the loss of war (any war). one of those special moments in cinema when a whole generation of young actors hits the scene -- robert deniro, meryl streep, christopher walken, jon savage and on and on -- and things are never the same. this movie will stay with you for a long long time.
Highly overrated and Phoney
Let's conceed that the movie is well acted by all and that there is a great cast here with DiNero, Streep, Cazale, etc. At the time of its release, it was one of the first war movies to be set in the Vietnam War. Although the drama may be gripping, there is no basis in reality in the key scenes of the movie. All involved have said that never once in the Vietnam War did the Vietcong force US soldiers to play Russian Roulette for their own amusement and those scenes are what the whole movie hangs on.

>Few would question that the treatment of US POWs was poor so why not show a gritty realistic treatment of how the POWS were treated instaed of some phoney Hollywood nonsense that never happenned? I guess there was a couple more bucks to be made by making it more dramatic and less realistic.
