    Saw Heavens Gate recently. The final scene is fucking crazy. No wonder the animal rights groups went batshit crazy over it.

    Deer Hunter and his first film with Jeff Bridges and Clint are masterpieces. Hard to understand why his efforts subsequent to heavens gate were so mediocre. Plus the physical transformation from jon lovitz to Phil spector.

    DH is incredible. Seeing how war has destroyed people, families even towns. And the acting is superb. But i can understand how people might not like it. It's very long and it has very slow parts. But the end results will stick with you forever.

    True.
    And the Russian Roulette scene in Vietnam, as intense as it is, isn´t even the best part of the movie.

    The Deer Hunter was the first Hollywood film to address the Vietnam War horrors and its psychological effects on people, besides the obvious dead or wounded. You got to understand that at that time no one wanted to open that 'fresh wound' as many people lived in denial of what really happened in Nam. For that alone, this film was very important.

    Nice titties although it makes me feel like a Hebephile

    Michael Cimino was a weirdo. I understand being ambitious and a perfectionist but like they said in Magnum Force (which Cimino helped write), "a man has got to know his limitations".

    Some great Cimino stories:

    - Cimino would order "a minimum of 32 takes" for certain shots

    -Cimino insisted on shooting his battle sequence in a field three hours' drive from the production's base of operations

    -Cimino made his cast and crew wait for the right clouds to roll over

    10 stories of excess from the production of Heaven's Gate

    And then after the Heaven's Gate disaster, he had a chance to do Footloose, which turned out to be a hit but he screwed that up too.

    -Michael Cimino, the Oscar-winning director of The Deer Hunter and Heaven’s Gate, kept asking for grandiose set-ups and making more and more demands—like requesting $250,000 to rewrite the script, and to make the film darker. Paramount Pictures feared Cimino was going to lose them a ton of money after Heaven’s Gate bankrupted United Artists, and so they let him go. Herbert Ross (director of The Goodbye Girl and Steel Magnolias) took over.
