Movie is about male bonding with Vietnam as the backdrop. Deniro at his absolute prime between this and Raging Bull 2 years later.

Yeah I must watch this people tend to refer to Deer Hunter and Heaven's Gate with Cimino and nothing else.

Yeah I really ended up enjoying that one. Great piece of neo-noir for sure.

Desperate Hours is great too. The studio chopped it to bits, but it's one of Rourke's best performances.

@@getheroutofthetruck Agree 100%. It's still quite good, but studio exces were paranoid it was over 2 hours and people would get bored, and concerned a scene with Lindsay Crouse and Kelly Lynch had "lesbian overtones" (probably did) and convinced Dino DeLaurentis to cut it. Supposedly the few people who saw Cimino's cut were very impressed. A similar situation happened with The Sicilian. It was also taken out of Cimino's hands and some 20 minutes of it were cut out.

I have some difficulties with The Deer Hunter that are probably an artifact of my personal defects, but I feel confident in attesting to the overwhelming beauty in Vilmos Zsigmond's depiction of place when he filmed Clairton. And Zsigmond's name arrives again and again like a recurrent spirit in the films that he touched. In the mediocrities and in the masterpieces, this man's vision is as true as any of the greatest visual artists of the 20th century.

Some aspects of 'The Deer Hunter' have not aged well but it is undeniable what a grand and beautiful piece of cinema it is. I reject all the hindsight contempt that the film has gotten in recent years by the cultural bean counters. It remains a great film.

The Dear Hunter is brilliant, but Heaven’s Gate took down a studio and sadly, Mr. Cimino.

It's true how similar they are at times. Both grew up in NY boroughs, about 5 miles from one another (though Michael is older).

Makes sense. Just like a guy making a career out of Russian Roulette for at least several months without dying. Or a group of 35-year-olds enlisting for Vietnam together. Or a soldier in uniform wearing a beard. Or mule deer in Pennsylvania.
