   Is the Deer Hunter a good movie?

   • But The Deer Hunter is pretty firm in portraying American soldiers as heroes and Vietnamese soldiers as villains. Vietnamese people are depicted as sadists with no capacity for empathy.

   The more I remember Jane Fonda's comment, the more I think she thought The Deer Hunter was racist by showing all Vietnamese (and Chinese, if she didn't "notice") as being violent, maniacal killers. She still thought it was jingoistic but maybe racism was more her point.
