Brotherly love, father-son love, but not love

When I was in college, I really liked this movie. There was a movie appreciation class. The teacher asked us to choose a paragraph for dubbing. At that time, we chose this movie without hesitation.

In the past, I thought Tristan was very handsome, and brad was really in the limelight. Looking back on it after many years, I suddenly felt that the most touching thing was actually Alfred, from the stunned expression after breaking through the incident between Tristan and Susan, to the deep feeling when he confessed to Susan after the war, from the sadness after silently blessing Tristan and Susan From leaving, to working hard to start a new career, from the grief after learning that Susan committed suicide, to the complicated eyes when he shot and killed the policeman... Alfred carried too much misfortune and injustice, but he finally forgave him With Tristan and the colonel, when the father and son hugged each other, the kind of "brothers who have crossed the robbery, meet each other with a smile and forget the grievances", can't help but be both touching and infinitely sentimental.

On the contrary, I have never liked susan, and had a period with the three brothers at the same time, sorry, I don't have such a good understanding, and I don't have such a generosity. It always feels awkward to say that my favorite is Tristan.

Legends of the Fall quotes

  • Colonel Ludlow: Indians! Indians were the issue in those days. I can assure you, gentlemen, there is nothing quite so grotesque as the meeting of a child with a bullet; or an entire village slaughtered while sleeping. That was the Government's resolution of that particular issue and I have seen nothing in its behavior since then that would persuade me that it has gained either in wisdom, common sense, or humanity.

  • [Regarding Tristan's departure]

    Susannah: Will he come back?

    Colonel Ludlow: I don't know.

    Colonel Ludlow: [One Stab speaks Cree] Stab says yes.
