THE DEER HUNTER (1978)

Recently watched on TCM.  I love the first hour of the wedding.  Then, it falls apart for me. 
I saw when it was new and very powerful.  Now I'm thinking... is it silly?  Is it pointless?  Okay... O K A Y AY AYAYAY ...  :lookingup:

I love that take, Allhallowsday. Every Thing is for Someone, right? I find the first hour of DEER HUNTER interminable... a test of my sanity on par with some Lovecraftian eldritch horror. As soon as they're in Vietnam, it gets me. Walken is truly extraordinary. I too struggle with what to think of the film in toto. Viva la difference!

Cool.  We definitely have different tastes.  :thumbup:
