I love this scene. I'm not seeing actors like Robert DeNiro or Meryl Streep playing a role, I see the inhabitants of this town that has been torn apart by the Vietnam War.
@Inkan1969 This scene from "The Deer Hunter" is so beautiful because they are singing this in memory of a friend who killed himself in Vietnam.
However, when Herman Cain releases a video where he has a singer sing "God Bless America" with the same sentiment of sing it in memory of those who lost their lives on 9/11, it is horrible and disgusting. Why?
@MrConservative608 I had more in mind the congressmen singing "God Bless America" right after the attacks. Or that policeman with his memorable rendition, at least before he got too commercial.
@bri343 There is no atmosphere of offense towards America in this video's comments, so there is no reason for you to ruin this touching scene with unargumented ignorant comments. I was scrolling through the comment section happily as i saw that no one was acting defensive or offensive in their comments. Everyone was simply commenting the beauty of the movie.... except you. You make me sad:-(
This spiel from the back cover of my copy of the film sums it up for me: "At the end of the film, all characters spared the Vietnam War to return home drift unsentimentally, but movingly, into a rendering of God Bless America. It's more than a requiem for their dead comrade: it's an anthem for a living American tradition of making mistakes, rueing them and starting afresh."
when ever i watch the roulette scene i get physically angry when the guys slaps them knowing just how much it hurts it could bring a grown man to tears.
Me and my dad watched this together. I'm only 16 and none of my friends have ever died. Nearly all my dads friends were killed. He cried at this scene. This film truly en captures what war and death does to normal men. To normal people. To normal society. It's possibly the saddest and truest tale ever captured on film
It's a real cap too on the glorious films of the 1970s...it stands as a fitting end chapter in a way to that great decade and era in cinema history...
Yeah -------- '' HERES TO NICK '' ----------- and BTY, - maybe if we voted a little smarter and MORE OFTEN -, we wouldn't get it in the ass every decade or so.
@cagekicker18 --- This clip cuts at the end of the song. If I'm not mistaken they then lift their glasses and toast '' here's to Nick ''. I'm very greatful to Greenbearbeer that we have it here. I'd be even moreso if it was there. Also.-- HERE"S TO YOU TOO
Here's to Nick!! Man what an absolute masterpiece...one of Hollywood's greatest ever. When Mr. De Niro recalled several of his films during his lifetime achievement award acceptance back in '03, The Deer Hunter was the ONE film whose emotion was so overwhelming that he literally could not speak upon remembering it..
In the ONLY decade where the quality of movies was completely OFF THE HOOK and never to be matched ever again, DH has gotta be one of the last great ones of the 70s.
@pijoe7752 hate to contradict- but It's not and anti war film.It's an anti Make'amistake War and then deceive the trusting and oppress the desent and even if you hav'to shoot college students and destroy the faith of generations to come who will have to somehow swallow betrayal and choose between blind obedience or a kind of paranoic estrangement that saps the strength of a nation cause'ya not willin to tell the truth or handle the consequence in an honorable way kinda movie.[you is collective]

This film was ULTRA gay.
Lame story, lame scrpit and lame lines. Just terrible.

@MrPonko "Lame"? I thought it was pretty appropriate considering you called what is considered by many film critics, (not youtube commentators), to be one of the best films of all times featuring some of the greatest actors in the history of film giving their best performances, "gay" and compared it to something you may have produced as a 14 year old. Why HAVENT you made your stories into films if they are better? Prove it to the world.. Dont just talk about it.

Overdone ending,should have had walken live.Then cut to them all happy at the end,THEN sing god bless america.While walken is sitting there calmly,camera slowly zooms in then a quick cut to the russian roulette scenes of him in the movie..then back to walken who says under his breath..''one shot''.Roll credits lol
Ok that ending wouldn't of been nearly as good. This ending is controversial and strong mainly because of walken's death. The main theme of the movie is that war ruins peoples lives including the family's of the men going to war. with walken's death it displayed that theme much better. Also the ending wouldn't have been nearly as ironic and talked about. It is perfect how it is, there are very very few elements in the deer hunter that i can imagine someone would want to change.
Sure it could have been ironic,when you realize walken is a ticking time bomb,and deniro saving him would show to be futile.Ok,so maybe its because i always laugh at how over the top deniro shakes his head,and goes into his new york italian delievery...''..nicky?nick?...NOOOOoooo!''That scene is so powerful up until then,just bothers me.
god bless this unhappy ending! I' m italian and we call the happy, boring ending (you know, the one that makes everyone happy and can ruin a film) "Americanata". At least this is different!!
even thoug the war was terribly wrong and stupid, they are human beings we're talking about. they all do mistakes. even america. god bless them all. it's not about being a patriotic or religious.
Was the insinuation that the words rang hollow in light of the hell De Niro had been through? Or was it that in spite of everything, they could still muster the love of country to sing that song?
I think here it's used ironically. In the beginning, the town, the friends, and the family of the three men who left were proud that they were going to "serve their country". When, in fact, all that happened was absolute destruction; destruction of land (Vietnam), destruction of body (John Savage), and destruction of mind (Christopher Walken). All of which has to be borne by the surviving soldier (Robert De Niro)
I agree. It is, however, both beautiful and pathetic that they end up singing "God Bless America" after having had their lives destroyed for good by the government ... only good people can do so after such a sacrifice.
May I add that I am not american, neither religious, so this video was not posted here with a patriotic or religious purpose, but feel yourself free to think whatever you feel good with :)
@mnytaful INNOCENT Iraqis? Are you stupid or what? We liberated that country from the clutches of a monstrous dictator, and if you're referring to the civilians a massive percentage of that was due to terrorists. Fuck you're dumb.
@greenbearbeer -- Very very grateful to you for this posting. I'm new at this but I'm pretty sure what you've done is not so easy - nonetheless, I'm asking, just asking if you could somehow include the toast to Nick. I could be wrong, but i think it's important to a lot of people. I sincerly thank you either way.
Seen on Youtube, stripped of context and seen in isolation this may be hard to understand, but coming at the end of such a powerful film, this is one of the most moving scenes I've ever seen in cinema, and had me in floods of tears.
@andrewdavid68 The Deer Hunter was a masterpiece, it presents a piece of American life by ethnic group, and there are many. Here we see hard working folks in PA or OH with Russian heritage, among others. I love the USA for all the mixes of peoples, beautiful. I am of Russian heritage identify with this film absolutely, love the USA forever, and ever !!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I tried 3 times to watch this movie, but this is maybe the most boring movie ever. The first hour there is happening close to nothing, then there's 15 minutes of Vietnam? I'm not sure because after one hour or so I always fall asleep. But one day I'll sit through it!!
Not enough room here to say how much I love America and American people, but also to express my lack on confidence in most American and non-American governments I have known.
How can politicians make poverty, hunger and war BIG BUSINESS for too many? Grrr!
Do you people realize how many want to live in peace and just how much OUR GOVERNMENTS America and others make it impossible to do because of lies they tell us, to be able to kill, And the people who have nothing but bad to say are the ones they get to do the job.
I'm sorry for them, who things this ending is a patriotic one. It's perhaps the best anti-war film ever made and not a film that glorifies America or the Vietnam-war... think 'bout it
@mrblonde117 Maybe but war is never a pretty thing. It's ugly that's why it is called war. In it's own way this film did glorify certain aspects of our human frailty. Glorification is for those who served and not the war or America. The flag is but a symbol of the sacrifice that is made to be free. Historians make our the fight for freedom look so romantic. What do you think it was like?
I only wanted to upload this beautiful interpreatation of the song (the only correct one I saw, actually, the song is rather ugly otherwise). All the movie is great ;-)
First off, and this is for an audience to think and believe, but judging from Cimino's other films (Thunderbolt and Lightfoot, Heaven's Gate), this ending is a rather ambivalent conclusion to a war that ended with much loss and regret. Them singing "God Bless America" isn't necessarily meant to be taken as a patriotic hymn of their spirit.
