The "Deer Hunter" is a great movie, it demonstrates the sacrifices that friends sometimes have to make for each other. It's a little long and kind of drags out at some points it is considered a great piece of work. The last scene takes place in a bar where friends have gathered after a funeral. They start singing "God Bless America"... watch it and let it speak for itself (Res ipsa loquitur... for my EMT friends). If you want to watch the whole movie make sure you have nothing else to do for the day.
