it's obvious that The Huges Brothers' film "Dead Presidents" was influenced by Michael Cimino's film "The Deer Hunter"

the premise of both films, a group of friends and their lives before and after being in the War.

this is a good observation

yeah, i can't help but to think that they didn't pull a lot of influence from Cimino's "The Deer Hunter" and then add their own thing to their film.

but it's clear as day
