The Deer Hunter Opening Credits

A change of pace from the Hellraiser clips.

I really love Cavatina. That's why I got this clip. I like this version of the tune.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS!!!!

No problem at all. I'm pretty surprised this has never been posted before. It took some time to get right (kept cutting off at 1:25), but I got there in the end.

I don't regard it as an anti-war film but as a film about friendship and relationships that get tested by extraordinary crisis.

Most of the film doesn't even center on war, but on the working-class ethnic mill town where all the characters come from. In my opinion it is completely the depiction of this town and its people that is the center of the film's beauty and its poignancy.

It is in that sense that I believe The Deer Hunter is a great film, one of the all-time greatest IMO.

Stunning film - miles better than Apocalypse Now - people who claim the first third is boring obviously have been fed on too much hollywood adrenalin pumping junk because it's such a wonderful exploration of a little community of friends.

Credits used the same font that Ingmar Bergman used.

@itadaku23 Pretty tough opinion, but I agree with you. The movie is a legend now and it's amazing how corny, badly paced, and by turns ridiculous the whole thing is. I'm thinking primarily of all the hauling and tugging of the plot to get DeNiro into a position where he absolutely has to put the gun to his temple just to talk to Walken and try to get him home.

Hauntingly beautiful music, shame about the movie. If you've never seen the deer hunter before I'd recommend skipping to the half way point where it gets interesting. Its a long pretentious movie and I'm not going to gush all over it like I'[m supposed to. Its a poorly written drawn out affair I didn't care for any of the characters I just wish more had died in that fun russian roulette scene.

@englishclassteacher

Agree with you.

People who call it a war film are ignorant, it is indeed about friendship and survival. Beatuful piece of film history.

That nicky proposes to streep is also very important in this scene, otherwise nicky wouldn't have a reason to kill himself at the end of the movie because he knows deniro was with her when he got back.

Retard.

Because it's not an action film - you don't just go cut cut cut - it's about building atmosphere - the wedding scene is absolutely perfectly timed because it builds tension in the emotions of the friends.

[TheGatorfan93]

Movies ARE boring when you have a director who lasts to long on a scene,that's already made it's point.What would we miss if the wedding scene was 5 minutes, instead of over 20?Show the vows,Streep and deniro exchanging glances,then right to the green beret scene..then cut.We know this is close community..why keep hammering the point home?It's like the opening to heavens gate,hurt's speech is pointless and meaningless...and does nothing but dull the senses.
