I swear, if that's how SW Pennsylvania was over 40 years ago, nothing has changed here at all. NOTHING.

One of the few films that has left me feeling like I've just read a great 600+ page novel.
It has its flaws, but i'd argue that its gritty depiction of working class life is the most authentic in American cinema. The feeling of community and camaraderie that is ultimately shattered by the war rings totally true at every moment. and that is precisely where the emotional core of the film lies, and ultimately the key to its success. I can take or leave the war scenes.
One of the best films i have seen, Well directed by Michael Cimino,very touching story about vietname and true friendship,a must see:)
American propaganda. False American history, the hidden facts. Anyone who is gone in Vietna it would be better if he died, and then the movie had any value.
I don't think any movie is ever going to come close to giving me the unbelievably tense feeling I got when seeing the initial Russian roulette scene for the first time. Perfect piece of film in those few minutes. Whenever I watch this I wish I could forget it and see that scene for the first time again and again.
je n'avais pas ressenti un tel bouillon dans mon estomac depuis bien longtemps, merci à Christopher Walken qui est boulversant (et particulièrement attirant... !) film aux 5 oscars MÉRITÉS
This is a difficult movie to love because it's so damn ominous. Not for a single moment can you truly feel at ease - practically and purposely, it works, but it makes for a haunting viewing. Of course, the Vietnam sequences are something to behold, regardless of the rest of the picture.
This movie is a masterpiece and like Quentin Tarantino says on an interview, you can be a cimino hater but when it comes to that roulette russe scene you just "just the fuck up"... Doesn't mean that that scene makes the film, no, but it's the one scene you won't forget...ever. The scrip, the cinematography, the ACTORS!!! and everything else is just perfect.
my dad said he took a girl on their first date once to see this movie. he said she wouldn't stop crying and never called him again.
This is a fucking masterpiece. You cannot argue with that. Michael Cimino at his best is hard to fuck with. True art here. How can you ever imagine recreating such a great ensemble of highly talented cast...? This is a real piece of history... a timeless item of controversy... What performances, what cinematography, what writing (may I mention that was done, last minute, by Cimino?)... I could go on for days... Bravo
More intense than a double rainbow, y'all. I was a little annoyed by the length but I suppose it's justified. <3 u Stan.
Though a boring film ultimately, the Russian roulette scene is probably one of the most intense scenes of all time.
A war movie with little with 'fighting', but very powerful all the same. I was initially quite frustrated at the slow moving pace of the first part of the film, but then out of nowhere it cuts right into the action in Vietnam. I think the quality of the acting, especially DeNiro, really holds this films together, and without which it may not have stood the test of time as well as it has.
