The Deer Hunter | 100 Movies Bucket List

 

This is one of two Bucket List movies that I forgot to write... which tells you how much of an impact it had on me!

I didn't know anything about this film before I put it on. I didn't know the genre, who was in it, or anything apart from the runtime.

Going in blind to this film this late in the list felt really weird because the film actually felt kind of familiar.

Obviously before starting the bucket list challenge I knew that there would be a few films based on or set in a war, but I had no idea how many!

So this one felt a bit like some of the other movies I've already watched, and it wasn't one of my favourites.

It had some great moments, but when I think about the film overall I didn't really get anything from it. I never felt connected to the characters or the story.

So as well made as it was, it wasn't one I particularly enjoyed, and it's not one I'm rushing to re-watch.
