"The Deer Hunter": Rhetoric of the Warrior.
Rushing, Janice Hocker; Frentz, Thomas S.
Quarterly Journal of Speech, v66 n4 p392-406 Dec 1980
Analyzes "The Deer Hunter" in terms of a psychological/ritual model of criticism. Argues that the rhetorical force of the film is explained by men's participation in rituals, such as deer hunting, which affect the patterns of psychological change they experience during and after war. (JMF)
