The Deer Hunter/YMMV

"What part of "di di mau" don't you understand?"
 * Complete Monster: The Vietnamese captors, but also the Frenchman.
 * Crowning Music of Awesome: In addition to the guys singing "Can't Take My Eyes Off You", there's also Cavatina.
 * Funny Aneurysm Moment: John Cazale was diagnosed with terminal cancer just as filming was about to begin; this makes his presence at the funeral scene all the more morbid.
 * It Gets Better: The opening scene at the wedding is extremely long and torturous, but once the war actually happens things really start to get interesting.
 * Kick the Dog: In the first war scene, a Viet Cong soldier slaughters a bunker full of Vietnamese civilians and then shoots a pregnant woman and her child. Michael avenges her by burning him alive with a flamethrower.
 * Memetic Mutation: "Mau! Ði đi mau!"


 * Tear Jerker: Just about all of the climax and ending, especially . Not to mention, the movie uses Cavatina very effectively.
 * Unfortunate Implications: The film has been criticized for its heavy-handed portrayal of the Viet Cong as ludicrously sadistic and evil.
 * The Woobie: The entire main cast qualifies, but especially Nick.
