THE DEER HUNTER (1978) - Full Watch Along

The Deer Hunter is a 1978 American epic war drama film co-written and directed by Michael Cimino about a trio of Slavic-American steelworkers whose lives are upended by fighting in the Vietnam War. The soldiers are played by Robert De Niro, Christopher Walken and John Savage, with John Cazale (in his final role), Meryl Streep and George Dzundza in supporting roles. The story takes place in Clairton, Pennsylvania (a working-class town on the Monongahela River south of Pittsburgh) and in Vietnam.

Happy Birthday

Coby, first hope you have a great birthday, second, The Deer Hunter is one of my top ten greatest movies list. Was great watching your reaction to this great, tense, sad, but amazing movie. I thought it would be a hard one to watch on a birthday. I think you watched it a few days before correct?

Sad note is that The Deer Hunter was released after John Cazale passed away. He wanted to complete his role in The Deer Hunter and passed away not long after filming.

Happy Birthday :); Great watch along, I felt your emotions and it reminded me the first time I saw this movie. When it came out I was a US Army soldier, 20 years old and stationed out of the country. I didn't see it when it first came out although everyone in the platoon was talking about it. Unfortunately everyone was talking about for the most ominous reason. A fellow soldier not in my platoon so I didn't know him, but in another platoon in the company started playing Russian Roulette and killed himself. I felt sad even though I did not know him and I just did not understand why a young person like myself at the time would want to do something so risky from watching a movie. I assume he had other stressors in his life besides being in the military far from home etc. I finally watched the movie a couple years later. I trained with older soldiers who were Vietnam Veterans, but I never knew any who were POW's. Movies like this and Uncommon Valor really tried to focus on the plight of POW's. Boy did watching it with you bring back some memories that were long buried and i thought forgotten.

I decided to watch your reaction highlights rather than your full watch along reaction. I just couldn’t watch you in anguish for three full hours. I knew this would be a tough movie for you to watch, starting with the deer hunting, up through to Nicky’s final game of Russian roulette, and everything in between. The only thing that surprised me is when you said it is now your favorite movie. It really is a great movie and so distinguishable from the other great war movies to which you’ve reacted. It deals with the horrors not only of war but also the horrors of the aftermath of wars from the point of view of the soldiers forever scared. It is a great movie. I just did not expect you to love it. Happy birthday. In the northern hemisphere your birthday falls on one of the longest days of the year. I hope you enjoyed it. Have a wonderful year!

I almost didn't watch this. It's always hard for me to watch, no matter how much time passes. I watched my 23-year-old younger brother do this in almost the same way, and not a day goes by that I don't relive it, picturing me trying to put his head back together. I have seen this movie before that night and since, and it's like watching two different movies. I am glad you liked it; I knew you would. Happy Birthday, Coby.

Hi Coby. I was very moved by this movie. I thought I had seen it before. But I actually hadn’t. Another amazing performance by DeNiro. He might be my favorite actor. I hope you had a great birthday.

I wanted to watch this movie so bad a child but my parents wouldn't let me. In the end I managed to watch it on my own when I left for the Navy at 19. This movie is raw and haunting. Only other film that hits the same way for me is Apocalypse Now.
