When I came back, they were still dancing. I thought to myself, " This film won five Academy Awards? It doesn't seem to be moving in any direction." I kept watching though, while reassuring myself that the director ( Michael Cimino) must have known it was boring and was intentionally doing it to set some kind of event up. The film got stuck in an endless dance scene, and I was there waiting for SOMETHING to happen. It was held in a beautiful church and things got a little bit more interesting. Then the story advanced a bit, and the scene became a wedding. After a while though, I got used to it.and I realized that this is how those people probably would talk in real life anyway. Actually, the majority of what I heard was a lot of mumbling, and an occasional " fuck", " shit", and " asshole" randomly and casually inserted into the dialogue.

Since I watched this at home on my pathetic little TV and not a at a theatre, something must have gotten lost because I couldn't understand much of what was being said. They were apparently planning some sort of hunting trip, and then going to a local bar to have a good time. It focused on five of the workers: Nick ( Christopher Walken), Mike ( Robert DeNiro), Steven ( John Savage), John ( George Dzundza), and Axel ( Chuck Aspegren). Anyhow, I was wrong because it then cut to the workers getting off their shifts and going home. The box didn't give much information, so when I saw a guy standing so close to the firepit, I thought it was going to be some murder/ mystery movie.
#The deer hunter movie
I had no idea what the movie was about at all. If a movie was good, then it was good.so I kept watching. Then my reaction became the opposite: "Hey, this is an amazingly CLEAR picture considering it was made back then." Anyway, that didn't matter much. I thought to myself, "This film is amazingly dark and blurry for a DVD." I looked at the DVD box again. It started off, and the first thing I noticed was the quality. I checked it out with my library card and went home. Naturally I was intrigued because it was such a big winner, yet I had never heard of it. It was The Deer Hunter On that box, it had in big letters:
I browsed through a bunch of bad comedy titles of the 80s and some new stuff I had seen too recently that I didn't feel like watching again. I was at my local library last week, and I decided to check out the new DVD section that my library had just added.
