The deer hunting scene in the film should take place in the Appalachian Mountains, the Appalachian mountains are gentle, but the scene is all snow-capped mountains, towering and steep peaks. These shots were taken in the Cascade Mountains. The deer hunted in Pennsylvania should be a white-tailed deer, but the deer in the film is an elk.

"What the director wants to say is: You can stay away from the Vietnam battlefield, but you can't get rid of it completely. It deeply touches every corner of American society. This film does not place the position on the freedom of political pedigree like the usual anti-war movies. On the other side, it respects the conservative American working-class position of sending their children to the battlefield."...The grievances with Jane Fonda may originate from this. "Fang Da is the honored producer, and he filmed with Ho Chi Minh at the time." Cimino recalled, "She had a strong anti-American complex. On the day of the Olympics, she didn't even look at me, because I was caught long ago. Labeled the extreme right. We took the same elevator, and I tried to congratulate her, but she turned and walked away. As far as I know, the original script ending for the movie Ronggui has been changed, and Fonda hopes to show The original sin of the United States. She has this right. She is a producer.... We never spoke after the award night."

@SIFF2020. De Niro received a single round of applause at the end of the film, but in fact Walken was also very good. The small town wedding carnival that began for nearly an hour was more like the last joy before despair. Everyone indulged as much as they could. The anxiety of being captured in Vietnam on the verge of death was very torturous. The contrast of a shot is heartbreaking, and the funeral at the end of the film is not like it very much, but it does not hide its flaws. The deer hunter could no longer pull the trigger, his best friend passed away, and the trauma lasted forever.
