Russian Roulette - The Deer Hunter (1978) (MOST INTENSE SCENE)

This is a very underrated film. This scene is one of the most intense scenes in a movie that I know of. I think people avoid this movie because it is so long and has a bunch of non-action scenes mixed in. But this roulette scene, whoa, its intense. Take a moment to compare this scene from what comes out in the movies today, I know it sounds cliche, but the new stuff just doesn't compare. its like the years from 1950-1999 will be an era that will stand out for all time. Look at de niro here and compare to now, they are like two different people, its crazy.

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
When Michael (Robert De Niro) and Nick (Christopher Walken) are forced to play Russian Roulette with three bullets, Michael changes the game.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
One of several 1978 films dealing with the Vietnam War (including Hal Ashby's Oscar-winning Coming Home), Michael Cimino's epic second feature The Deer Hunter was both renowned for its tough portrayal of the war's effect on American working class steel workers and notorious for its ahistorical use of Russian roulette in the Vietnam sequences. Structured in five sections contrasting home and war, the film opens in Clairton, PA, as Mike (Robert De Niro), Nick (Christopher Walken), and Stan (John Cazale, in his last film) celebrate the wedding of their friend Steve (John Savage) and go on a final deer hunt before the men leave for Vietnam. Mike treats hunting as a test of skill, lecturing Stan about the value of "one shot" deer slaying and brushing off Nick's urgings to appreciate nature's beauty. As Mike ruminates post-hunt, the film cuts to the horror of Vietnam, where the men are captured by Vietcong soldiers who force Mike and Nick to play Russian roulette for the V.C.'s amusement. Mike turns the game to his advantage so they can escape captivity, but the men are permanently scarred by the episode. Steve loses his legs; Nick vanishes in the Saigon Russian roulette parlors. Mike returns alone to Clairton a changed man, as he rejects the killing of the deer hunt and finds solace with Nick's old girlfriend Linda (Meryl Streep). Disgusted by the antics of his male cohorts at home, Mike decides to bring Steve back from a veterans' hospital, and he returns to Saigon to find Nick. As Saigon falls, Mike discovers how far gone Nick is; the survivors gather in Clairton for a funeral breakfast, singing an impromptu rendition of "God Bless America."
