The Deer Hunter

the fundemental core of the film is the worst part about the film.
we follow these men as they change in multiple ways because of the vietnam war but like.......i don't get to know these characters.
at best they are shallow with like 1 good moment each.

what it does is fine, not terrible but they waste the 1st hour, its mostly just yelling and the main male characters being assholes towards eachother which honestly is kinda obnoxious.
that doesn't help me know these characters.
the second hour they are in vietnam and honestly the second hour is the best part about this film but its still not good because of its representations of the vietnamese and the fact there is no danger at all.

the 3rd hour we are suppose to recognize what changed but again, i barely know these people so i don't recognize anything but one change and thats the fact robert deniro's character doesn't wanna shoot a deer.
the cast is great aswell as the direction but its bogged down by mediocre characters and story.
