Deer Hunter

While I was doing my duty (i.e. taking my exams), my family had fun watching movies and series. They saw a film called The Deer Hunter, with Robert DeNiro and Christopher Walken — two actors I admire. My brother was so enthousiastic about it that he told me to watch an extract on YouTube: the Russian roulette scene.

Wikipedia summary:
The Deer Hunter (1978) is an Academy Award winning American film about a trio of Rusyn American steel worker friends and their infantry service in the Vietnam War. It is loosely inspired by the German novel Three Comrades (1937), by World War I army veteran Erich Maria Remarque, that follows the lives of a trio of World War I veterans in 1920s Weimar Germany. Like that novel, The Deer Hunter meditates and explores the moral and mental consequences of war violence and politically-manipulated patriotism upon the meaning of friendship, honor, and family in a tightly-knit community and deals with controversial issues such Drug Abuse, Suicide, Infidelity and Mental Illness.
I have to see the rest of the movie! My brother told me that there were other funny scenes, like the use of a flamethrower to get rid of enemies…

PS. Maybe you wonder why I wrote "funny" instead of "violent". That's maybe I find violent scenes funny… What kind of a freak am I???

Here is Ronald's original look. He only had about 5 fans, so he changed his face for more fans...to eat. But will he change back? NAW!!!
