Craig Kidd Downing Psychology of the Movies Summer II 2009 The Deer Hunter Movie Review The character’s I enjoyed watching the most were the members of the group who were left behind from Vietnam‚ John and Axel. I liked the simplistic innocence that they possessed.

contrast to the enthusiasm and conformity seen later at the party. The subtle placement of the sea-diver beside Ben only adds to this sense of alienation‚ while‚ at the same time‚ foreshadows the comical events at the second cocktail party later in the movie. In fact‚ the use of water is frequent throughout the film as tool to illustrate Ben’s self-reflection and wavering identity.
