The Deer Hunter Retro Review- The Best Depiction of the Effects of War On A Soldier and Their Community Ever Put to Film

Michael Cimino is a director not a lot of people are familiar with. He has made a few films in his career of some note. Thunderbolt and Lightfoot and Heaven’s Gate were known, but he directed one film that touched the public consciousness like no other back in the ‘70s. At the time, it was the best portrayed of the effects of war on soldiers and their community. It still stands up as one of the…

THE ELECTRIC HORSEMAN (1979) Grade: B 

Loved the cinematography, the acting (Willie Nelson!) & the music worked well.I don't think they make movies like this now, definitely will have a different, more happier ending.

Robert De Niro in The Deer Hunter (Michael Cimino, 1978)

Cast: Robert De Niro, John Cazale, John Savage, Christopher Walken, Meryl Streep, George Dzundza, Chuck Aspregen, Shirley Stoler, Rutanya Alda, Pierre Segui. Screenplay: Michael Cimino, Deric Washburn, Louis Garfinkle, Quinn K. Redeker. Cinematography: Vilmos Zsigmond. Art direction: Ron Hobbs, Kim Swados. Film editing: Peter Zinner. Music: Stanley Myers. 

The last time I watched The Deer Hunter it had a different resonance for me. It was no longer a film about the Vietnam War, but instead a film about the destruction of the American industrial working class. Who is willing to bet that the steel mill in which Michael (Robert De Niro) and his buddies work is still open? And who can doubt that the group singing "God Bless America" at the film's end, and their progeny, all voted for Donald Trump, responding to his "Make America Great Again" call and helping him carry the state of Pennsylvania? The Deer Hunter didn't even start out to be a film about Vietnam: The germ of it was a screenplay by Louis Garfinkle and Quinn Redeker about people who bet on Russian roulette in Las Vegas. Michael Cimino was brought on to direct and to develop the script with Deric Washburn. Many drafts, arguments, and hurt feelings later, it had become a film about steelworker buddies who go off to Vietnam, and the Russian roulette had become first a torture method used by the Viet Cong and then a device to symbolize the destructive effect of the war on the American psyche. It remains the most controversial part of the film -- there are many who assert that Russian roulette was seldom, if ever, used as torture or for gambling in the back streets of Saigon -- but there's no denying its dramatic potency or the larger symbolic role it plays. The great strength of the film lies not in its screenplay but in its performances, starting with De Niro, whose Michael is the embodiment of Hemingwayesque "grace under pressure." De Niro was also responsible for the casting of Meryl Streep as Linda, a small role in which she does what she can to offset the machismo in which the film is awash, and which earned her the first of her record-setting string of Oscar nominations. Along with Streep came her lover, John Cazale, whom the producers wanted to fire because he was dying of cancer and was hence uninsurable, but Streep refused to appear without him. Christopher Walken did win an Oscar as Nick, and there are memorable performances from John Savage and George Dzundza as well. It's the strength of this ensemble that keeps the film from flying out of control as Cimino's follow-up, Heaven's Gate (1980), so disastrously did. Certainly there are signs in The Deer Hunter of Cimino's self-indulgence, particularly the overextended exuberance of the wedding reception scene, which anticipates the out-of-control Harvard commencement sequence in Heaven's Gate. Neither scene adds measurably to the narrative or the themes of its respective film, but Cimino bitterly fought all efforts to trim the wedding sequence in the editing process, and later claimed, after editor Peter Zinner won an Oscar, that he had edited the film himself. Because of its sloppiness and self-indulgence, I hesitate to call The Deer Hunter a great film, but it's certainly one in touch with the darkest strain of recent American history.

"The Slams" (1973) is an action crime drama directed by Jonathan Kaplan, written by Richard DeLong Adams, and starring Jim Brown. Black actors were still trying to find their way into Hollywood in the early 70s, and many roles were limited, especially for Black Women. Many actors wanted to rise above stereotypical roles, but opportunities were still becoming available, and Judy Pace expressed this in an article from the Pittsburgh Courier in 1973. She said she wanted more than one-dimensional roles or being the only Black woman in movies. In "The Slams," her character was an educated and career woman as a news reporter.

Overall, "The Slams" is a decent 70s movie with great actors. Prison films started to become popular in the 70s, so this film was a good entry into the genre.

Director: Jonathan Kaplan Writer: Richard DeLong Adams

Starring Jim Brown, Judy Pace, Paul Harris, Roland Bob Harris, Frank DeKova, Ted Cassidy, Frenchia Guizon, Jac Emel, Quinn K. Redeker, Betty Cole, Robert Phillips

Storyline After stealing 1.5 million dollars and stashing the money away, Curtis Hook (Jim Brown) is arrested and sent to prison, where he faces a corrupt system and violence. Now, word has gotten out about the money, and several people, including inmates and correctional officers, want in.

"The Deer Hunter" E. M. Corder

表紙に、based on the screen play by Deric Washburn, story by Michael Cimino & Deric Washburn and Louis Garfinkle & Quinn K. Redeker とあるのを古本で買った後に見つけた。ようはノベライズ。原作を読めるかと思ってたんだけど、とりあえず読んだ。

アメリカのmiddle of nowhereと言われるような工場（炭鉱だったか）を中心に成り立ってる何もない田舎町の友人たちがベトナム戦争に行く。友情物語とも、ひた隠しにされた愛情物語とも取れるのは映画と同じか。

映画を見たのが中学生だったか高校生だったか、覚えてないくらい大昔だ。またいつか見てみたいと思う。

Your Decades of Horror Classic Era Grue-Crew is understandably enamored of Spider Baby and who wouldn’t be? Lon Chaney Jr., Sid Haig, and the rest of the cast shine in Jack Hill’s low-budget macabre comedy. Jeff is particularly impressed with the detail and depth packed into nearly every scene. The film is still just as macabre and weird and darkly humorous as Joseph remembers it to be the first time he experienced it. Whitney gives a heartfelt remembrance of Sid Haig and expresses how much she enjoyed his performance in Spider Baby.

If you haven’t seen Spider Baby or even seen it lately, the Classic Era Grue-Crew thinks you should hit it again soon! At the time of this writing, Spider Baby is available to stream on Amazon Prime and as a Blu-ray disc from Arrow Video.

Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror: The Classic Era puts out a new episode every two weeks. The next episode in their very flexible schedule is chosen by Jeff and will be The Incredible Shrinking Man (1957), directed by Jack Arnold and written by Richard Matheson.
