: : : : : Heavens Gate was far superior to The DEER HUNTER : : : wrong. i liked heavens gate a great deal but to me the deer hunter speaks on so many levels and hits closer to home. : : : : ----Oh......Had a friend crippled in 'nam lately : : Played Russian Roulette with pals? : no and no. what i meant by closer to home was the whole anti-war statement made by the movie. and how friends and family are torn apart by war. i think we have all been touched by war in some way. : : : : : : : Secondly...Ciminos best film was his first....THUNDERBOLT AND LIGHTFOOT : : : another great movie but not his best. i cant believe you are dismissing the deer hunter like this. the russian rolette scene alone blows heavens gate and thunderbolt and lightfoot away. : : : : ----The Russian roulette scene is easy drama...... : easy drama or not, that scene IS deniro's finest work. there is such a ferocity in his face that it burns the film. watch the scene again and see how deniro looks like he really wants to kill that actor that is slapping him. : : : And the rabbits in the trunk scene in THUNDERBOLT blows THE DEER CHEESE outta the water. : : Oy vay! : : that fucking ENDLESS wedding scene : i defend the OVERLONG wedding scene. it makes the ending so much more heartbreaking. he see during the wedding the way these friends interact with each other and are so much a part of each others life. then the war tears their world apart. nothing will be the way is was...ever again. : -erik
