Feelings:
I have a lot of feelings about this film. I think it is a well crafted masterpiece. Cimino gets flak for bringing down a whole studio, but that should not sour the taste of this epic tale. It full of emotions and devastation even though I think Coming Home, does a better job of tackling PTSD. You can feel the weight Robert Deniro carries on his shoulders through the whole film.
My Favorite Scene:
Would probably be when Deniro’s character returns from Vietnam and visits John Savage in the hospital. I also love the camaraderie between the friends and the scenes leading up their deployment.
My Favorite Character:
Would be DeNiro’s char and I don’t know why they gave Walken the Oscar for this role. Fuck Oscars anyway!
