Review - The Deer Hunter (1978)

Michael Vronsky (Robert Di Niro) and Nick Chevotarevich (Christopher Walken) were two friends who left home to fight in Vietnam. When they returned, they realized how much their lives had changed in the Best Picture winning film, "The Deer Hunter."
I know there was some hunting in the movie, but after watching this movie I still don't understand the title. The hunting I suppose is supposed to be symbolic of something, but it just doesn't make itself clear at any point during the movie.
Anyway, there's really not much to talk about with this movie, mainly because the story is so flat. The acting is mostly emotionless and overall it's just boring.
I really can't say much else about the movie. It's just not worth talking about, and really shouldn't have won Best Picture in my honest opening. I would like to know why everytime a movie about Vietnam comes out, it automatically wins Best Picture. It's almost like it's a rule.
