Michael Cimino⠙s The Deer Hunter was met with both critical and commercial success upon its release in 1978. However, it was also highly controversial and came to be seen as a powerful statement on the human cost of America s longest war and as a colonialist glorification of anti-Asian violence. Brad Prager s study of the film considers its significance as a war movie and contextualizes its critical reception. Drawing on an archive of contemporaneous materials, as well as an in-depth analysis of the film⠙s lighting, mise-en-scène, multiple cameras and shifting depths of field, Prager examines how the film simultaneously presents itself as a work of cinematic realism, while problematically blurring the lines between fact and fiction. While Cimino felt he had no responsibility to historical truth, depicting a highly stylized version of his own fantasies about the Vietnam War, Prager argues that The Deer Hunter⠙s formal elements were used to bolster his troubling depictions of war and race.Finally, comparing the film with later depictions of US-led intervention such as Albert and Allen Hughes⠙s Dead Presidents (1995) and Spike Lee⠙s Da Five Bloods (2020), Prager illuminates The Deer Hunter⠙s major presumptions, blind spots and omissions, while also presenting a case for its classic status.

In The Practice of Groundedness, Brad Stulberg shares a new model for success that defies the never enough culture of the twenty-first century. At the heart of this model is groundedness - a practice that values presence over rote productivity, accepts that progress is nonlinear, and prioritises long-term values and fulfilment over short-term gain. Interweaving case studies, modern science, and time-honoured lessons from ancient wisdom traditions such as Buddhism, Stoicism, and Taoism, Stulberg teaches readers how to cultivate, through daily habits and activities, a more grounded life.
