Yes, another big topic in The Deer Hunter is the game of life and death: Russian Roulette - Russian barrel. A game full of inhumane and cruelty that does not really exist during the Vietnam War but is still added to the film, plays a role of embellishment and emphasizes suffering, and is a metaphor for the overall war. to be bigger.
Basically, Russian Roulette's gameplay consists of a revolver six-barrel gun and a bullet. The player places a bullet in the barrel, spins up, points the gun at the head, and then pulls the trigger. Five blanks and one with bullets. The ratio is one in six, just one in six, for a person's life.
The American soldiers in the film were forced to play the Russian barrel, including the two main characters Michael and Nick. Go to the most impressive scene of the film, when Nick and Michael are forced to play Russian Roulette with three bullets. This is one of the most intense and realistic scenes ever put on Hollywood screens.
Both Robert De Niro, Jon Savage and Christopher Walken were at the peak of their careers in The Deer Hunter; but the role of Nick of Walken shines even more with the psychological change after the aftershocks of the war. Nick seems to become a completely different person, a person who seems to have reached the bottom of the misery that has revived and become completely insensitive after so many times close to death.
The ending of the movie with the song "God Bless America" is taken somewhat bitterly, cutting deeply into the national pride of American citizens with a firm belief in the mighty Empire with an ideal, a their shared dreams and wars have meaning. God bless America, if God will bless you
The first time I saw this movie, I was just a 9th-grade kid. A boy who didn't have enough life experience and experience as well as a mature perceptive view of movies. But right after the movie ended, I knew I had just witnessed a masterpiece of contemporary historical cinema.
The Deer Hunter touched something deep inside me, a feeling, a sympathy, a resentment residing in it not just for the American veterans, Vietnamese veterans, but anyone who has experienced the so-called loss, resignation, and suffering. Including people leaving and staying.

To truly describe Hollywood movies in the early 1970s onwards is almost impossible: It's as varied, chaotic and rich as the American political situation at the time. there is the work "The Deer Hunter" directed by Michael Cimino with the War gradually entering the final stage and the anti-hippie movement has ended.
Left behind is the lack of organization and an autocratic state under the "liberal" culture of an ingenious institution, with the main consumer boomers being the baby boomer. "The dream ended," as John Lennon said, and the '60s dreamed to make way for a fierce and devastating' 70s.
The meaningless war has also caused great losses to the economy, the military, and above all personnel. The American soldiers have returned - not only with empty hands - but with their minds and bodies no longer intact. They are diagnosed with PTSD psychology - post-traumatic stress disorder and must learn to reintegrate into society with reluctance to think more and more from reality.
This is also the inspiration for many current talented emerging directors, especially those in the New Wave movement such as Francis Ford Coppola (Apocalypse Now), Martin Scorsese (Taxi Driver), or a name. Less known is Michael Cimino with The Deer Hunter.

The Deer Hunter is a crystallized work of what made the movie in the 70s: The thorny content, the natural acting complemented by the script as more natural improvisation than the fake as in decades ago, reflected in the exposed camera angles that exposed the filth and filth. With the most famous actors of the time such as Robert De Niro, Christopher Walken and Meryl Streep, The Deer Hunter was nominated for an Oscar in 1979.
What the film touches is simply pain and loss. But the pains that Cimino portrays in Deer Hunter seem more profound than any other work on war. If Coppola's Apocalypse Now focuses on the pointless brutality that soldiers have to go through, Deer Hunter wants the audience to feel the persistent consequences that clung to them years after the war.
The film is over 180 minutes in length, with the structure as divided into three distinct segments: Before the war, during the war and after the war.
A third of the first film is devoted to the wedding of Cimino ... It is a time devoted to the innocence of the soldiers before being taken away by the fierce bombing. A time when budget friends made the tune of "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You", play billiards, drink beer and make fun of each other instead of worrying day after day that their lives will be deprived by a bullet from the enemy, or by yourself.
