The Deer Hunter (1979) - 4/10
Fuck subtext i guess you kids want some overt propaganda? Im the most antiwar person ive ever met and i found this forced and contrived. There is nothing honest in this script. Its just Hollywood lecturing for a painful 3hrs. This is the kind of writng we get today, abliet less elegant not nearly as well acted.
Thats the real tragedy of this picture. Fuck the war. These performances are so fucking good. And this film just isnt. Here they sit trapped in a 3hr bumper sticker.
I hate war. I hate the vietnam war more than most wars as far as rank ordering such things goes. I hate being told what to think more. This script is basically a writer lazily going down a checklist.
And that fucking ending. Fuck you. There's nothing honest about it. Its so forced everyone who watches this picture should press charges for rape.
