      Legends of the Fall--Love Between Father And Son

      Three years later, I recall the film's greatness once more. deeply moved by the magnificent and beautiful pictures and the turbulent plot! Passion, responsibility, knowledge, and commitment. No matter how distorted and distant the world is, love will always remain in the hearts of the deceased. Even if it is a prodigal son, the "love" we see is not mixed with any flavor. How many people have been awakened by Hopkins' interpretation of the father's fraternity? Memories are cemented by...

      Susannah

      After taking a bath, the warm mood under the soft lighting. I want to write about Susannah, the woman who is hard to erase in my memory. It's been a few months since I watched Legends of the Fall, and some of the plot may have been blurred, but there is a deep compassion and resonance about Susannah.
          The vast savannah, and the Tristan that is integrated with it, is a beautiful legend that cannot be replaced. There is a kind of unrestrainedness, a kind of pride, a kind of boundless...

      Live By Heart

      The English composition in my freshman year... but the sentences are true feelings.

          Some people hear their own inner voices with great clearness, and they live by what they hear. Such people become crazy, or they become legends." Intoning with purple-prose profundity by an old Indian narrator, the movie Legends of the Fall begins.

          Today, I want to introduce the movie Legends of the Fall to you. It is adapted from a novel by Jim Harrison, directed by Edward Zwick, and...

      This is the story of five years ago, this is me five years later

      I forgot the first time I watched "The Years of Love" when I was a senior, maybe it was my sophomore year, and Nan Nan was in the second teaching 401, a movie viewing event held every week by the club. I still remember that at the end of the film, I was reluctant to leave for a long time, and the soundtrack echoed in the second teaching, which made my heart surging. Although it has been five years, every time I think of this movie, I always think of Brad Pitt's long hair fluttering and coming...

      legend

      When he's wayward like a child, rudely and respectfully making fun of her behind his back, i hate him.
      When he walks forward on his own under the excuse or reason of grief and then turns around and kisses her hard to chase, i really hate him.
      When he confronts his brother's questioning about marrying her cloud When the lightness is in contrast to the rage at the subject of the younger brother, i can't help to hate him.
      When he dodges his caring sincere glances and leaves her to...

      After watching this movie, you know what kind of soundtrack Finch hates the most. "The eighteenth-century classicism kind of thing runs with the movie, not for the movie at all." The incomparably melodious soundtrack plays every five minutes. It's nice, but the director's script couldn't hold up at all. Everyone was inexplicably excited, flat like a horizon. U.S. tender cow Wufang is so ugly, not afraid of brain-dead fans to chase and kill,...

      Originally, the theme of this story should be the level of a Hong Kong dog blood drama, but with the addition of elements such as the American West, war, Indians, and prohibition, the level is immediately improved, and the rhythm of the story is well grasped. The most important candidate is right, The protagonist who is wildly fascinated by all women, everyone thinks this plot is too...

    Behind the scenes

    The role of Brad Pitt wanted Johnny Depp at first, but he refused. Sean Connery and Tom Cruise were also the protagonists initially considered.
    Neither Brad Pitt nor Julia Ormond had ever rode a horse before filming the film.
    The film was originally filmed in Lake Winnipeg and Lake Manitoba in south-central Canada, but the local government rejected a request to remove a few trees based on the shooting needs, even if the trees can be...

    In the war scene, you can see the "air bag", which is a kind of air bag that can throw people into the air to simulate the effect of an explosion.

    Evaluation action

    The music and the theme of the film have always been integrated in the film. The tone of the whole film is poignant and tragic. The music production of "The Years of Burning Love" firmly grasps the tragic and majestic theme, embodies the melancholy and desolate style, and makes the film show a unique tension. Under the rendering of music, the film is like a poignant lyrical prose. (Comment on "Film Literature") 
    As the core character...
