fucking lol it's pushing 50 years old. Go watch Back to the Future and its portrayal of Libyans (who were the caterers wrapped in turbans and told to speak gibberish) or shit, The Interview and its portrayal of North Koreans. Hollywood is always racist towards whomever the country considers "enemies" and Deer Hunter was first written in '75 because of the Fall of Saigon. The two most interesting things about Deer Hunter are 1) it was filmed heavily in Mt. Baker National Forest - that epic waterfall scene is Nooksack Falls 2) As written, Robert DeNiro should be playing Christopher Walken and Christopher Walken should be playing Robert Deniro. They decided it would be more marketable the way it actually got released, which is probably good because three hours of Chris Walken attempting to be a good guy would have ended Cimino's career one movie earlier.
