The Deer Hunter

The Deer Hunter 

What a movie? 

Have you watched it?

I'll describe the plot of this culturally rich movie.  

         the buddies

The Deer Hunter is a 1978 American film about the social troubles associated with soldiers returning from the Vietnam War.  

This is a drama film directed by Michael Cimino.  
      Robert de Niro and his friends

The film is about a trio of Russian American steelworkers and their troubles in the Vietnam War. 

The film stars: 
Robert De Niro, 
Christopher Walken, 
John Savage, 
John Cazale, 
Meryl Streep, and 
George Dzundza. 

The director Mr Cimino's bold and powerful 'epic movie' goes from a blue-collar small town outside of Pittsburg to the 'hell' resembling Vietnam, in just one night.  
          the look

Ribert De Niro holds it together powerfully.  

Christopher Walken, Meryl Streep and John Savage are absolutely unforgettable.

I watched this movie again and was surprised how much I enjoyed this entertaining and sophisticated movie.  

I completed some research and come by the below information. 

' In 1996, 'The Deer Hunter' was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" '

A classical film that should be watched again to witness the change in 'men' after returning home from 'War'

Thank you for reading,

Illegitimate and Absurd

Illegitimate and Absurd

“Interest at the origin of money is illegitimate, absurd, anti-social, and anti-arithmetic.” --- Mr Louis Even


Writer, and social credit movement leader in Quebec, Canada in the 1930s. 

Below is a link of a short story written by him, titled 'The Money Myth Exploded'

I wanted to write a blog today, linking this 'intelligent' Quote to my previous write-ups titled 'Interest on Loan' and 'Creation of Money'. 

Please look for these 'educational' write-ups in this blog.
