re: The Deer Hunter

Interesting replies. I love this movie. I love this movie because when I saw in my early teens it helped me understand my father. Dad was career Army, 3 tours in Vietnam, and worked for the military running troop training. This movie made me realize the effect this war had on the soldiers. All different, all painful, all theirs. I got lucky, Dad’s “desk job” in Vietnam didn’t prevent him from a fulfilling life, but he carried it until his death bed. Anyway, if you ever want to see something that steels your respect for the soldiers that serve, watch it.
