So, I wanted to encapsulate this movie having known that scene from film school.First off, this film is WAY too long. with just over 3 hours of runtime, I hated to find myself sitting in a lot of it, but then catching myself skipping ahead through the overly drawn out scenes of jokes, gags, drunkards, and eventually Mike finding Nick. The movie, understandably, wants you to experience the slow burn, even though we have established how quickly we jump from period to period in this film. Because of this, the pacing is botched, making it neither a fluid and smooth sail, nor a cigarette being put out on your flesh; it lands somewhere undecidedly in the middle.Second, a lot of the movie labels itself as a war film, and while I loved seeing the performances of each Vietnam vet's PTSD and how it's screwed up their lives or ruined it forever, we didn't really see all that much to work with. In just about an hour and a half, we've seen where the men work, hangout, get ready for a wedding, and then the women doing all these things as well (including an unused side-plot with Linda, Meryl Streep's character, being abused by her sickly father...which never gets developed to anything??). The hunting trips infuriated me as much as De Niro's character was bringing these sloppy drunkards hunting! They never shut up, they're always drinking, and the one character, whose forgettable name I've already...well, FORGOTTEN, doesn't bring any of his gear when they go hunting. I seriously cannot fathom how they've been on THIS many hunting trips alone. After about the 2nd time where this bozo has forgotten his gear, I'd have not invited him, PERIOD. Nothing against him, just he isn't a hunter...AT ALL. Nick and Mike are the only relatable ones who seem to understand how hunting works: you track, you stay quiet, and you do not take a shot until you have a clear sight of your deer, and you make it in one shot. Two shots, meaning you're both A. a bad aim, and B. making the animal suffer because you didn't kill it on sight.Not only is Mike the most relatable character in my own eyes, especially with drunkard, loudmouthed and irresponsible friends, but he also becomes the most broken...he loses the most before realizing he needed to appreciate those things before shipping off to hell itself.Now that we've gotten through the worst setup to a war film, let's talk about Vietnam:It ain't pretty, it's war; it's bloody and cruel.That said, you'd expect maybe some more scenes of it? We see only 2 scenes of any REAL war zones in the movie: the village, and then abruptly the "POW Camp". It's a shoddy hut on the river, and it's practically asking to be unprotected, asking to be overrun in a mere matter of seconds. If the screenwriter had it dubbed or labeled as a FOB/Outpost POW Camp or something of the like, even THEN I'd say you're full of it. 1 measly fisherman's hut on the river, and 6-7 VC soldiers...that's it? After a few moments of seeing a field of them sweep out of the trees to capture these characters, and we get a handful of goons to be shot. Frankly, it's rather underwhelming, as you know things are gonna swing in their favor with how much runtime is left. And literally after escaping from one of the biggest parts of the movie, it just takes you back home, with another hour and fifteen left to fill the void on a very short section of the movie.This is where the film shined brightest, as it showed how damaged these men were coming home; maimed physically and mentally. Mike, a spirit and mentally broken steel mill worker/deer hunter, now unable to one shot his game anymore...nay, miss and let it get away. Steven, forever scarred by war, and Nick AWOL.The film finishes in a rather unfulfilling way with no sense of if everything will work out, or what: which is why I loved it's ending. Like the memories of war, it's frozen in time, frozen in memory and nightmares. It will never go away, but have to endure the struggles they faced. As a group of friends; as a broken family.The film direly needed some more war to protest it's anti-war agenda. I am anti-war as well, but if all you're going do to convince me is put me through Russian Roulette for a half hour, and then yank me out of Vietnam, I'm sorry you're gonna have to do better than that.I am not diminishing the players' performance, I am diminishing the play (so to speak).The movie lacked so many things that Apocalypse Now, or Platoon, or Hamburger Hill, or We Were Soldiers had (Mel Gibson's film being all the more similar in this list, in regards to the things I mentioned above). A war film about Vietnam where we show a wedding for half the runtime is like a gangster film where all we see is the crooked fellas cooking spaghetti for half the film, and then having a 20 minute segment where the gangsters get in a shootout and all die. It's built up well, but then tries to burn it with alcohol and ends up just accidentally snuffing the flame out more--It's a slow burn, that never evolves into a flame. And that is why I deem it a 3 star, frustrating, but important period piece film. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank you *by A***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 18, 2023* Great classic!
