This is a natural black and white photo taken by a trail camera. You might say it is a "Buck Selfie." My grandson downloaded some of the photos on my computer and I fell in love with this one.

I liked it so much I decided to use it for one of my favorite movies, The Deer Hunter. It is a complex movie and has a lot to say about the war in Vietnam and war in general. The acting is outstanding and you can read about it here.

The music was outstanding and I've provided links below for you to enjoy. It is also my contribution to SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE MOVIES.

John Williams - Cavatina (Theme From The Deer Hunter)

The Deer Hunter - Can't Take My Eyes off You-Frankie Valli.

Wow! What a great capture. I remember my brother wouldn't take me to see this movie when I was young and I didn't know why.

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Lightfoot 1967

That was a movie not for the soft-hearted. I remember that my wife walked out of the cinema hall half way and waited for me in the lobby. Nice picture of the deer with his antlers.

Every word you wrote is so true...loved all the music and the movie..but the song...I thought the Andy William's version was my fave...

Loved the musical selections (anything with Frankie Valli is good for me). I also like very much anything with Andy Williams.

The deer has that "human in a headlight" look. Hope all's going well for Mr. Buck. I sense he may have just found his horns (antlers) in a dilemma as if he is in a Viet Cong prison camp and some American named Michael has passed him a revolver and said it was his turn.

Owd Fella Tick (OFT), the look in the eyes of this deer, does me think that it recently has seen this movie, 😜 !
Good SNATM-theme (🎥) contribution with appropriate music links however, 👍 !
