The Legacy of a Whitetail Deer Hunter (2018)

disgusting, overrated, pointless

A different way of telling a story

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

This is a movie about the struggles of raising a pre-teen in the conflicting social and family environments that are typical of much of America.Avid hunters seem to hate it because the hunting trip depicted isn't representative of a typical hunting excersise. Anti-hunting advocates hate it because it doesn't do enough to criticize the people who take part in what they deem to be a "stupid, cruel activity".It saddens me to think that our culture is so wrapped up in political rhetoric that most people can't enjoy a movie that actually hits the nail on the head.Are most hunting trips misadventures? Of course not. Did a former Vice President of our country accidentally shoot someone in the face during a hunting excursion? YES!Did the movie satirize hunting? Yes. Did it take a stance on hunting regulations? NO!This movie is a collection of verbatim conversations and situations that have actually taken place over time and in different contexts... To a tee, in my home state of KY. It's blatantly honesty is why it's difficult to stomach. Hunters.... chill out. Anti-hunters... sorry, hunting is a thing.

'THE LEGACY OF A WHITETAIL DEER HUNTER': Four Stars (Out of Five)A comedy about a hunter, and his loyal cameraman, who spend a weekend wilderness trip together trying to reconnect with the hunter's son. It stars Josh Brolin, Danny McBride, Montana Jordan, Carrie Coon and Scoot McNairy. The film was directed by Jody Hill (who previously teamed with McBride on the 2006 comedy feature 'THE FOOT FIST WAY', and the comedy TV series 'EASTBOUND & DOWN'), and it was written by Hill, McBride and John Carcieri. The movie has received mostly positive reviews from critics, and it was released by Netflix through it's streaming site. I hated the hunting aspects of the film (which are a lot of it), but I do think it's a very funny and well made movie though. Buck Ferguson (Brolin) is a successful deer hunter, who's made a living selling videos of his kills. Jaden (Jordan) is his estranged young son, who Buck wants to reconnect with by teaching him how to hunt. So the two set out on a weekend hunting trip together, along with Buck's loyal cameraman, Don (McBride). Don and Buck try to create a hit video from their experience, while Buck also desperately tries to grow closer to his son again. The movie is hilarious, I'll give it that definitely, and Brolin and McBride are both excellent in their roles. The macho hunting shit though, is completely offensive and obscene. Hunters do still exist in this world though, and a movie of course never has to deny reality in order to gain my respect. It's a story about a traditional hunter and his son, so I find offense to the character's personal beliefs, but not to the film itself. Like I said, the movie is really funny too, and it's definitely worth seeing for that reason I'd say.

An overwhelmingly simplistic tell of a father/son hunting excursion with a perverted type "uncle" figure fliming the happenings and what's goings on of the trip. The film was able to capture beautiful images of the mountains of who gives a damn. If you had something better to do like chronologically date all the pennies in your piggy bank or make love to the wife, I'd probably tackle those tasks first.

First half of the film Danny McBride's character keeps droning on to Brolin's kid about jerking off. This is all passed off as light-hearted banter.Later on he's passing him cigarettes and showing him pictures of him and his girlfriend having group sex.Jeez.Wrongmo!
