I am thrilled to see, what I've not yet seen, Meryl Streep, doing Julia Childs. She's been "best actress" in my book, forever.As has been Christopher Walken, and Robert De Niro, on the "best actor" scale.
What they share in commom, is their participation in what is to me, one of the greatest American movies: The Deer Hunter.
A movie about a pointless American war in Vietnam, that deeply wounded so many American soldiers.
Remember the scene where they asked Nicky his name, and the asker responded "Russian?" and Nicky said "American"
The ending scene, where scrambled eggs are made by some one humming "God Bless America"
It was about the lesser sacrificed.
And it continues.
