Picture, lens and photographic analysis of deer hunter.

In the first third, there are two unforgettable images. One shows De Niro standing on a foggy mountain top with a gun, moving slowly, ready to shoot a deer. At this moment, the background music (which has never been found) is magnificent and sad, which is in sharp contrast with another cheerful song "I can't take my eyes off you" and also lays the sad tone of the whole film. However, with a gunshot from De Niro, the background music came to an abrupt end. The next picture shows the deer limping down slowly, and the director deliberately left the scene of the deer's death. Did that moment also imply the weakest life without a blow? The scene of deer hunting appeared twice in the film. The second time, Michael, who returned from the war, climbed the mountain to hunt deer again, but the result was different. When the gunfire rang again, Michael gave up hunting and said to the deer, Are you all right? In fact, this result is already expected. Another unforgettable thing is that after deer hunting, they reveled in the bar, drank beer and sang loudly. However, the cheerful atmosphere soon disappeared with the sound of the piano, and everyone's smiles disappeared. Watching John play the piano, his face was full of peace. For them who are about to go to war, they may be remembering the bits and pieces of life together. At that moment, they didn't know what the Vietnam War represented. Going to the battlefield is just their fantasy of going to the battlefield like men and serving the motherland. It is hard to imagine that there will be a piano in such a broken bar, and it is this disharmony that makes people feel deeply. But what is more discordant is yet to come. Compared with the harmony of the bar, the picture suddenly cuts to the bombing scene on the battlefield of Vietnam War. The harmonious piano sound contrasts with the bombing sound on the battlefield again. Then there are the bodies after the bombing and the constant killing. The war is so cruel.

The climax of the film appeared after three people were captured, and they were forced to play "Russian roulette" by guards. This thrilling scene makes people still have a lingering fear.

As far as war is concerned, they are fighting for war, which reminds me of another great war movie, all quiet on the western front.

The trauma and destruction of war cannot be healed for everyone. Michael, who came back from the battlefield, didn't have the courage to meet his friends and stayed in the hotel. Li Qi, who had a nervous breakdown, stayed in Vietnam and died in Russian roulette. Steve, who has broken his legs and feet, can't face his family and friends and escape from everything in the nursing home. Even Angela, who was waiting, became insane.

After hunting deer for the second time, Michael decided to pick up Steve from a nursing home, and then went back to Vietnam to find Ricky, who had been mentally distorted by the collapse of the war and could not follow Michael back to China. They are playing Russian roulette again. Michael took Ricky's body back to China. At the dinner after the funeral, Michael and his friends sang "God Bless America" sadly. This may be Michael's last effort to find his lost brother and get back his life before the war. The brotherhood in this war is heartbreaking.

War not only destroys homes, but also human nature.
