Film of the day.


An in-depth examination of the way that the Vietnam war affects the lives of people in a small industrial town in the USA.


Got this off Ebay for 3 quid del. Bargain!



This film is on The Casual Connoisseur top 50 films and I decided to give it a watch, I was not disapointed. Amazing film.



Depicted in a small American working class town depicting life after the Vietham war and the issues that had to be dealt with, The famous Russian Roulette scene was hard to watch yet fantastic.



The film won 5 Oscars for Best Picture,Best Director,Best Supporting Actor ( Chrisopher Walken) Best Editing and Best Sound.



Here are some Quotes from the film:





"Stanley, see this? This is this. This ain't something else. This is this. From now on, you're on your own."



"You wanna play games? All right, I'll play your fucking games."

"Every time he comes up, he's got no knife, he's got no jacket, he's got no pants, he's got no boots. All he's got is that stupid gun he carries around like John Wayne"






And some screenshots:





On the hunt...One of the scenes at the beginning of the film.








The Russian Roulette scene hard yet compelling to watch.








10/10
