traditional Russian Mom oh well there's a deer I love that they're all wearing tuxedos I don't know what the hell we even doing we're talking about hunting the last time before the Army the whole thing it's crazy if I find out my life had to end up in the mountains it'd be all right but it has to be in your mind what one shot shot one shot is what it's all about deer has to be taken with one shot I try to tell people on it oh you really think about Vietnam yeah I'm thinking about the deer the trees are the mountains all different the way the trees are tell you ni you're the only guy I go hunting with you know I like a guy with quick moves and speed I ain't going to hunt with no [ __ ] oh who's an [ __ ] they all bu [ __ ] I mean I love them they're great guys but without you I H alone I just don't like no surprises what is the meaning behind him wanting to go hunting before he goes to war is it to be out in the peace and what hunting represents something scoop the doing come on sit up oh they've been drinking no what's the matter I was going to pick you up I was just wondering if I could use this place to stay for sure I'd want to pay you both she needs a place to go she needs to get out of her house she needs to get away from her dad this church is beautiful spent a good amount of time in church I think they're Orthodox unto yourself as wife this woman Angela whom you see before you I do get over it mom you have not promised yourself to any other man I have notless it is the kingdom of the but does he like her he's like I can't believe you're praying oh no is this going to cause a huge riff in the Friendship be so stressful entering a marriage when you know the Mother-in-law doesn't like you at all I feel bad for Angela all the different traditions and different cultures and religions around marriage is really fascinating they did it I just always feel like the rice would hurt I don't know why I always think that cuz it probably would God Linda is so brave and such good friend to have that bruise on her face and still get to the wedding I thought he was going to squish him there still throwing the [Applause] rice God dairo is so handsome I only really know him is him older goodlooking kid guess that's part of being a movie star [Applause] well they keep noticing each other what is this going to do to their friendship uhoh kiss kiss

the bridal party getting married right before you go to Vietnam oh my gosh what a send off make me so dizzy you so funny huh yeah okay be right back she obviously likes him she's struggling with that internally is she feeling guilty he's allowing it he's noticed it really like ni a lot [Music] huh he just tried to kiss her didn't he he's mowing his best friend's lawn or at least trying to oh God you you I think this is like the longest wedding scene in a movie I've ever seen it's cuz she let that guy do it to her so he's so livid about it all right you need to go outside and cool off [Applause] [Music] God he really coming on [Applause] hot green hey Jerry give the man a drink nice you nice you we're going airborne what's you like over there you want to know you can't even talk

that mean is if we get back to when we get back I don't know what the hell I mean what goes through your mind out your mouth you would take that so seriously that'd be so challenging I don't think she realized that she spilt a little that mom's still so bitter so there must be a really big Russian community in this town they sending them off oh yeah look at their stack of presents from this side I don't think he can drive don't worry what St says just forget that forget what St says got a big mouth I never really did it with Angela ncky great it's great it's my life didn't know that about

want to be home and not a lot of people died got to go home look at his hair oh no it's a hat I really like that they're showing all of this with the guys and all their friendships they're rough and tough and they let loose and they joke with each other they're there for one another I think it's really nice to see all this 36 B I'm always so jealous of guys when they can just go pee on the side of the road like that or hiking do not leave him see another thing that guys do to their friends do [ __ ] like this to each other they waiting for them guys going my way I knew they were going to do that again God not funny shitthe heads okay good so beautiful there this is not it they Chang no kidding I'm starving eat that I never see you eat I like to starve myself keeps the fear up what are

own I don't know how many times I must have picked him up with girls and nothing ever happen zero this is this what the hell is that supposed to mean this is that's what I was wondering watch out with that gun stand watch out with the gunun yeah just shut up take take Michael's goddamn boots and shut up I said no where you going to shoot me here what's the matter with you that did he not want him to come because he's just never prepared or is it just going to be these two cuz he said he didn't only wanted to go with him I wonder where they filmed this it's quite beautiful hunting something he loves to do and he feels like he needs to do this before he goes to Vietnam oh my gosh a [Music] buck got away from you there you only get one shot oh he got him in one shot did they really kill that deer it looked really real that deer deserves an Oscar at least they got him with one shot and you don't allow it to suffer she always calls them bums I love them they're just having a rooting tun time but now what's going to happen with the friendship between [Music] them this Bender just continues on I guess that's what you would do if you knew you were going away I just want to be with your buddies and have a good time these shots are really interesting how they've placed all the characters in The Forefront and the forground they're really just taking in this moment together a really haunting song helicopter oh no are they in Vietnam yep oh all the animals they didn't do anything to you oh people are hiding underground is that dairo Michael oh my god did they just do that to their own people you only have one shot oh man he just burned him to a [Music] crisp holy Christ I don't believe it Mike Mike I wonder if he's been gone for a while and if they've been separated for a long time they probably thought that he was dead oh no every everybody's coming people in there oh they captured them look out that barb wire they're not going to be able to get out you'd be so scared for your life they're just listening but I guess there's they can't even think of a way to get out that might slow no oh no this guy is having a meltdown he's terrified something else oh my God he's helping him oh my gosh oh they all look terrible this is just so awful what they're doing to him no oh my God are they making him do it it's it's okay like every time he hears that click he gets so triggered oh my God they're all betting it's just so beautiful how he's holding his friend Shake It Up think it's something else I don't think you could ever shake that off oh they're really torturing

Whispering we're going to have to get him out of here you're sending him home it's like he had to release all that it's like he awoke to reality he doesn't even know if his buddies are alive either I to send him home without knowing I'm calling the United States mind what he can't get [Music] through I love these long zoom in shots to the character really does a great job establishing where they are not only physically but mentally what is he really there he thought it was Mike God this would just kill you you would just be wondering every day what happened to your friends is he going to be unfaithful to Linda he is going I mean he's been through a lot oh this might really turn him off little baby that's just in there Linda Linda just Li home no no hey look eleph stay in a room with a

Nick you okay I know Nick will be back soon no he's getting CAU up with the wrong Frenchman I can't believe they just missed each other did he get a hotel room I wouldn't want to see everybody I wouldn't want a party throne for me really bad headache [Music] you just feel him you feel everything he's feeling I don't think he can drown out the memories or the sounds what he went [Music] through oh he's been thinking about Linda too oh they waited all night for him I don't think he'd be ready especially being the first one home and his two other friends not being there those friends haven't changed but he has go [Music] in seems like she got out of her dad's house and she's been living at the trailer oh myel God that'd be the best hug ever for both of them oh gee gee you look beautiful they going to be so mad when they find out they miss you I just want to see you Michael welcome home I'd be so proud of you lip kiss kiss on the lips I was hoping somehow Michael maybe you had Nick with you no we've been through hell he must feel so much guilt not being able to get to Nick there at the end you hear anything on Nick he hasn't written well he tried calling he's a oil that's all we know could be back he never wrote to me he never called me well maybe you were out yeah that would be devastating it' be so heartbreaking waiting all that time you never got a letter or call maybe going to make her switch un like Michael you sure you're all right huh what about your wounds just a usual complications that's all I made Nick that sweater oh Christ oh been hard waiting for your loves to come back if they would come back I got to go to work now uh would you mind if I walked you the work it seems like he's become more gentle Mikey you're so weird yeah cuz he's been through a lot Linda you're always such a gentleman need so much patience oh I'm so glad you're alive I really don't know what I feel it' be a whole range of emotions for him coming back for you seeing him back then you have the whole heartbreak from Nick on the other side I mean it could have been hard for Nick to even even try to message you or call you after everything that he's been through like what do you say hey how's it going but then having him back is like kind of feels normal maybe always liked him a little bit everyone's just so proud of him I just want to say how sorry I am about Nick I know how much you loved him and I know that it'll never be the same I just wanted to tell you that I don't know maybe you don't want to talk about he's really there for her why don't you come in with oh it'd be so weird cuz everyone would be so excited to see you and you would just have been through so much and it's like small talk would mean nothing I feel like he doesn't want to let her go now because he's also loved her oh he's back at work and if Nick's gone to awall a little bit longer he stays away longer they're just going to have a butting relationship and he is going to come back livid so did Steven die or is he paralyzed that's he looked Dead when he put him on the car but I'm I'm not sure hey man how you doing where we sure we had everything all set there the beer I got to leave got a mustache yeah he's change his look up a little cute yeah looks come on we're going to Johns so how you guys been how's it feel to be shot don't hurt nothing's changed it's true you go away and you always worry that things are going to change and you come back and things are the same as they always are to you m to Nick and Steve and he still has a scar from everything that happened to him it's a few battle wounds how's Angela that's a good mic oh no worse since she talked to him talk to him Steven I didn't know he was back oh you didn't know he's back no I didn't know he's back is he back you where is he Angela wouldn't tell us Angela I heard Steven was alive where is he where is he Angela is he in like a hospital somewhere mental hospital or is he not alive you better tell him Ang where is Steve you got to tell me now where is he I'm getting mad now cuz I don't know what it is so frustrating you don't know what they've been through she's obviously devastated the love of her life is is either dead or seriously injured paralyzed in a mental ward somewhere because he's been through so much what does it say they can't she obviously can't live with what happened to him has to raise a child and lives with his mother that hopefully likes her more now imagine going through everything you went through and then getting paralyzed you're not going to call oh he forgot that they were supposed to hang out what you doing nothing I have uh all this food I'll make you nice sit down dinner you can't just leave her why don't we go to bed can't we just comfort each other no I can't not here I got to get out is he going to go hunting I feel a lot of distance and I feel far away I'll see you later what a statement because I feel like that's how a lot of veterans coming back and soldiers coming back would feel you would feel so different and you would feel distant you wouldn't feel the same as everybody oh she's not going to let him go feels kind of weird coming to a motel know what I mean Michael Michel the sound of the train Comforts him or is it being close to his old work that Comforts him he's wearing Nick's shirt they have an interesting friendship but at least he's asking him what do you think of her truth yeah well do you think she's intelligent no you do she looks pretty drunk he's like don't ask me while I'm trying to look at Linda cuz she's beautiful don't get stuck car jack he got his ball we're going hunting right who asked you does he want to hunt again he likes hunting with Nick oh they did go I wonder if he's changed I wonder if he's not going to take the shot this time beautiful shot wow I feel like there'd be more cougars to hunt up here than deer careful oh the buck but with not as big of a rack on his head 20 times we could have got it guys are idiots no you only get one shot oh say why he doesn't like hunting with them they don't have the same respect for hunting as he does that's why he doesn't like hunting with them he's actually tracking the deer and respects it with the one shot rule what's this is that oh yeah okay I thought I saw like a human but it wasn't oh hey hey John hey Axel I got one no I hope it's not suffering I looked him Square in the [Music] face he didn't do it I knew he wasn't going to be able to do it what's that stupid little gun doing up here in case you say that one more time say it this is going to trigger him ow yeah you don't F her around with guns like this after what I've seen what you think it was loaded give me that I don't care if it was loaded you want to play games all right I'll play your [ __ ] games hey how do you feel now huh he's teaching them a lesson Big Shot I didn't think that he would actually pull the trigger like that oh I tossed it yeah not after what I've been through and the rest of our buddies have been through no joke that must have been a quiet drive home Linda what's the matter I don't know is neck back she feeling confused and not sure what to do he waited for for her no I think I'll go with him do you ever think life would turn out like this no no was she crying cuz she was letting go of Nick did she have some guilt about being with Michael oh no I'm scared where are you going I just love the way this is filmed in the pacing it allows you to settle in to the characters where they're from where they live what they're think and what they're going through get a real sense of their life in their small town oh there he is wonder if he needs to be here while he's recovering or maybe he wants to be here it'd be so hard to cope with what had happened to you Sten there's a car for you he really lost his legs I can't believe he hit rocks I can't believe that happened to him hello Ste me Mike Michael maybe Michael's going to help him like what he did in Vietnam I'm okay never mind me how are you great he's so happy to hear from his friend hey Stevie when are you getting out H I'm going to stay here a while Mike is he embarrassed he I got to go Mike no I got to go oh you got to go see him Michael you got to go help him he was so happy to hear from him and then he just totally broke down it'd be so hard he's going to see him yep got to go help your friend who's struggling the experience is just so different for everybody I feel like he's going to be mad that he's there I don't want to go home it' be hard for you to look at your wife your mom your kid Angela didn't send you Angela she didn't send you no I got something I want to show you this this comes every month from Saigon I don't understand is it from Nick is he still doing all the gambling it's Nikki Steve is he hooked where's a guy like Nick getting money like this you can't tell him I'm going to take you home man look you promise me man I don't fit you would feel so different not only just coming back from the war but physically of course you wouldn't feel like you fit in you'd feel so different what the hell has Nick gotten himself into has Michael gone back to get him maybe he doesn't want to go back but maybe he thinks his best friends are dead I can't believe Michael went back he has to go save his friend the power of friendship Michael has been a hell of a friend to everybody in this movie did he see him that night oh come on you speak English you liar you remember Nick Nick where is he he disappear a long time ago what you want I want a game he's too dangerous now I want to play the americ I'll match him highest stes I'll get you a game Nick must just be so addicted and not caring what kind of thing is he running will he have to play him or will one look him be able to help him get him out I don't even want to see what Nick looks like now I'm actually terrified what does he become he said we have two P for go inside $1,000 you say yes the famous American is inside you have to give him $500 more for this information God let drain you of everything but you want to see the American he'll pay anything to see his friend how has he been doing it though just willing it like what they did in the jungle it's just all luck oh he knows he's a [Applause] goner hey you right think it's me he's too traumatized and now he's just gone tell me it's Mike m tell me it's Mike m Mike maybe he doesn't want to believe it Mike who I don't know cuz remember he couldn't even remember his parents I came 12,000 miles back

here to watch you die maybe he needs him in the game to wake him back up that's just fcked up thing to think how much yeah how much is how much all the rest of my money I can't believe this is one of them going to die I can't believe this Nick is on another planet right now there's nothing behind his eyes you don't have much time [Applause] no I don't think you're going to be able to get through to him I think he's too far gone he's seen too much he's he's too changed this what you want this what you want I love you no I literally thought he was saying goodbye there he actually I think he just said goodbye to [Applause] him he's saying goodbye to him come on Mickey come home just come home wait a minute through your arms you remember the trees remember all the different ways of the trees trees he doesn't remember one shot one shot one shot I don't like how the guns pointed at him [Applause] [Music] [Applause] though Nick no his freaking best friend going to bring him home now this seems to be the last chapter in the history of American involvement in Vietnam that's the most awful thing I've ever seen was a funeral for Nick cuz he brought him home he made it through the war he freaking survived couldn't come home got sucked into that other life with all the trauma he didn't have Michael there when they got split up when they got picked up by the helicopter but he brought I'm home oh this movie is heavy and heartbreaking oh stepen went home wonder if Michael holds himself accountable for all that it was the only way he could have tried so sad to lose any of your friends and like that and see the effects it's had on everybody God how about some fear oh she can't even look at him okay buddy everybody just trying to hold it together for everyone when you get alone you just break down God Bless America learn that I [Music] love she lost a great love this movie is like nothing I've ever seen before I can't believe casting told Marl stre she would never make it as an actress cuz she wasn't beautiful man Robert dairo and Christopher walin their scenes in this were unreal their acting was unbelievable their performances I mean everyone in this movie was incredible but I think that the powerful portrayals of everything thing that they went through in war just really um contributed to the emotional feeling of this movie the movie like allows it to sink into you and you feel it and you you feel the depth of the friendship and how much they care for each other Merill strep just her sub subtleties as an actress as well you just you could feel that emotional weight and that song the soundtrack every time that main theme came up I was just like oh God I felt so much in it I said at the beginning long longing and loneliness and hopefulness and almost a little bit of romance as well so much sadness another movie about war and the impact of War and what that does to you and your psyche what the impact it had within the town within the community within all the friendships I really feel like the cinematography was incredible I feel like the lighting and Shadows the stablishing shots the way he captured the characters it really enhanced the movie in the themes of the movies what characters were thinking where they were it's one of these movies where it seems like they're doing nothing but they're doing so much and that's why you feel it so visceral that's why all these characters journe is you just absolutely feel it it's done through the cinematography and of course the acting and the score but I felt like vilo Sigman I think that's how you say his name I'm sorry if I'm mispronouncing it but I think that the visuals had such an impact on me as I was watching that I know a lot about Russian Roulette but I have never seen this scene before I don't think I've felt more ill seeing something like that it was so tragic what happened to Nick in the end it was so tragic and haunting and terrifying with what happened to them in Vietnam I can't even believe they even got out of there and just Mike's will to stay strong his will to live his will to be there for his friends and get them out his incredible sense of survival was really powerful he had a great mentality going into war but I do think it did change him I was commenting on this huge wedding scene like I had never seen anything in a movie that took that long but it has established this town this community these friendship friendships it showed so much of who everybody was and so I think that along with the cinematography I think that's why you grabbed on to these characters and you felt like you really got to know them and then you got to see their character arcs and everything that they went through that's why the emot Journey with these characters is so much more impactful because you really felt like you got to know them and you went through everything with them that they went through and you just couldn't help but feel connected to them heavy heavy movie but it was a brilliant movie it was a really really really brilliant movie it was really powerful thank you guys so much for watching with me the deer hunter what a film what a
