re: The Deer Hunter

As others have pointed out, it's a very slow burn. HOWEVER, the final act, especially the ending moments, make it all worth while. It's some of the best things put to film, but it would not have the same impact if not for the slow burn.


I've seen it once many years ago, and I have no interest to ever sit through it again. I still remember it though, because its impact was that profound. Definitely watch it one.
