With one-sixth of the chance, all hope was blasted away.
Hit it with one hit.

a gun against his head and looked at the eyes in the nick mike firmly say i love u when the fall was not his, but sitting opposite, just recalled hunting together above the front, in the mouth muttered Nick who said "snap hit".
The blood burst out in an instant like the violence in the film. Mike rushed up and hurriedly tried to stop the red liquid pouring from Nick's temple. Of course, I believe he knows that this person can't be saved anymore. The director is very clever and didn't use any vocal processing here. In this way, although the scene is sensational, it is not abrupt, not pretentious, and everything is just right. The human heart can often get the most true release at this moment.
The movie started with a grand wedding-lively and beautiful. Besides the brides, there are a large group of bridesmaids in pink dresses, and Linda is one of them. At that time, the fool could also see how gentle Mike stared at her, but unfortunately, it was the fiancee of his best friend Nick. At that wedding, Linda agreed to Nick's proposal, but everything was full of unknowns. The men were about to go to the battlefield, who knew who could come back alive. To be honest, I really don't like streep's looks, nor do I think she has such great acting skills. But since she was chosen to play linda, let's bear it and continue.
The deer hunting scene only appears twice, but like Russian roulette, it has echoes and metaphors. It is both the center and the climax of the movie. When Mike first saw the deer in the jungle, he could shoot without hesitation. The accuracy of the marksmanship and the decisive expression were eye-catching; but since he returned from the battlefield, he picked up the gun several times, but he still chose to give up. . This is the beauty of the director. There are almost no scenes depicting the cruelty of war, but there is a lot of room for different reactions to the same thing one after the other. Fortunately to live and return unscathed from the battlefield, he had a strong sense of agreement with the word "survival". Mike at that time had already experienced the difficulty and preciousness of life, which was actually both for humans and animals. identical. This release of life is based on respect for all lives. Although there are no comments, there is already an attitude towards war in secret.
The Russian roulette is the most tragic aspect of the whole movie, and it is the handling of this fictional plot that highlights the devastation of war in all aspects from another side. The first bet occurred after three friends were captured. The confusion of steven directly aroused the fear of friends. This fear of death also reflects the uproar of the three previous weddings and the confusion about the future. This is also one of the projections of war on people, spirits, and souls.
Mike is obviously the backbone of the three. Steve relies on him, and Nick trusts him wholeheartedly and unconditionally. This kind of intimacy between each other is the focus of rendering in [Deer Hunter], but in the director's shots, it is extremely real and smooth, and has not been deliberately added. However, the active steven could only spend the second half of his life in a wheelchair. Nick completely lost himself and became a complete plaything and victim.
On the surface, Mike's ending is the most optimistic, but it is not. The trauma of the war is much deeper and heavier than the mark on Mike's face, but Mike, who is introverted by nature, will not overexpress it. Two details are quite interesting: one is that Mike specially asked the driver to drive to the hotel when he returned home, deliberately avoiding the friends who celebrated him, the night lights hit his face, although he can't see his expression. But it is not hard to imagine that kind of loneliness and bitterness. This is something that only people who have experienced the battlefield can experience; the second is that Linda tried to keep him and said, can't we comfort each other? Mike's crush on Linda is a well-known thing, and I take Linda himself, of course. What's interesting here is that Linda directly said the request of "We can go to bed", but the latter sentence is "comforting each other", which is a very practical and never concealed intention-the emptiness of the human heart is undoubtedly revealed here. But Mike refused. It is not so much that he refused because of his responsibility to nick, it is better to say that the baptism of war has made his whole life steps disordered, so that at that moment he has no way to see exactly what he needs.
And in the last part, when Mike saw Nick again, the latter had already lost his vigorous and handsome appearance. That kind of empty eyes, sluggish body movements, and mechanical expressions are all masterpieces left over from the war. He didn't remember Mike, but he would still send money to steven who was far away and disabled. The walking dead body just woke up and left after Mike's call. But no one can deny that death is a shocking outbreak here, but it is the best ending for Nick. From then on, he will not carry any haze, no longer need to leave numerous scars for all kinds of torture. On the contrary, Mike, who never shares his heart with others, is destined to carry that kind of painful life for a lifetime. This is not a problem that love or other emotions can solve for him.
Although the ending part was handled very calmly by the director, with a very clear but not sad atmosphere, the obvious humanistic spirit of Great Americanism made me uncomfortable. The Vietnam War was a nightmare for the people of both countries, but the biggest victim was Vietnam after all. But [Deer Hunter]'s handling of the vile and barbaric side of the Vietnamese was obviously too willing. In this regard, the gap between Cimino and Kubrick and Oliver Stone is obvious.
In addition, the digression is that the music of this film is pretty good. I believe that all the people who watched this film will have the thought of "Oh, that's it" the moment they hear it.
