Men are not bad, women are not loving.

The previous film reviews have said both the deep and the shallow, and I will briefly talk about my feelings-
about the three brothers. I
feel that the three brothers are a bit like people
. The
uninhibited and free second child is like our vigorous and rebellious youth
, while the ideal and kind third child is a childish, lovely, kind and innocent childhood.
Childhood is short, youth is very attractive and full of twists and turns, and maturity needs to pay a price.
About men and women
There is no doubt that a large part of it is about love, and even the conflict between love and family.
The reconciliation between the eldest and the second child was after Susan committed suicide; their stalemate was also after the third child and Susan Yan had reconciled...
and the lively Susan was destined to be attracted by the bohemian, bad, handsome second dick, and it was destined to be for this reason. Wounded, this is the brightness and thorns of the rose of love.
Susan chooses to marry the eldest, and she is destined to suffer from the double torture of ideal and reality, history and today. If she can't get it, she can completely give up and realize it. The problem is, Susan still chooses to live in a place far from ideal. Far away from reality, in this way, when the ideal becomes the reality of others, it can only be more painful.

    [Exhibition at the China Film Archive] It's good to see it on the big screen for the first time. The shocking soundtrack, the magnificent and vast grasslands, and Brad Pitt, who is at the peak of his appearance, are really exciting. When I saw the father and the boss holding shotguns and standing with Tristin at the end of the film, I was really moved to tears. This is a movie that belongs to a man of sex. However, female characters are tragic. Makes people sigh.

    These people did not live their lives as human lives at all. What they lived was a reckless prairie and a vast sea, a bloody autumn and wildness as they wished, and they also obeyed the law of the jungle that blood is thicker than water and kings and losers are defeated. Human relations, law and morality in the social sense are invalid for this extreme to dangerous romanticism. I don't like the values ​​of this film, but I can't deny the infinite fascination with this way of living in my heart.

Legends of the Fall quotes

  • Alfred: I don't know what to say. Tristan's always been wild. You love him for that.

    Susannah: Do I? Yeah, I suppose I do.

    Alfred: Susannah, he does love you.

    [holds her as she cries]

    Colonel Ludlow: Alfred! She's to be your brother's wife.

    Alfred: Yes, though you might better remind him of that.

    Colonel Ludlow: He's not here to defend himself.

    Alfred: No, he's not but I see you are here to defend him and what is his. Even though he's abandoned her and you. And I won't even speak of who else he abandoned.

    Colonel Ludlow: Damn you, boy. Don't you blame my son for Samuel's death! Samuel chose to be a soldier and soldiers die. Sent to be slaughtered by the men in the government. Parasites like you! Damn and blast you!

    [turns to Susannah]

    Colonel Ludlow: Damn you too!

    Alfred: Shut your mouth! You leave her out of this!

    Colonel Ludlow: You get out of my house and off my land.

    Alfred: Why? Because I want to serve my country like you did? Or because, like you, I love a woman who doesn't love me? He used her and he deserted her. Your darling Tristan.

    Susannah: Alfred, don't, please.

    Alfred: I loved her! I love her still. And he stole her from me. If you want to know the truth of it he stole her from Samuel before the war.

    Colonel Ludlow: God help me, I'll kill you.

  • One Stab: Every warrior hopes a good death will find him.
