Regarding the film Legends of the Fall, I saw it on and off the TV when I was extremely young, and it can be said that it was not a film that I particularly liked at the time. Even if I revisit it from beginning to end now, I still feel that half of the reputation of this film is brushed out by Pitt's good looks.
There are so many uncomfortable places in this so-called saga. For example, three brothers fell in love with the same woman, and this well-bred woman fell in love with her third brother. She liked Pete in her heart, and later married her eldest brother. When Pete came back, she revived her old love.
Either way she's a bitch.
However, if we go back to the most fundamental issue of things and look at these relationships again, it seems reasonable.
The question is whether there is any truth to love itself.
The third brother is a young boy. He likes Susan in a very pure way, and he doesn't even want to touch her before marriage. This is what he thinks of love.
The eldest brother fell in love with Susan at first sight, but he followed the rules. As long as Susan was still the third brother's fiancee, he could only bury his feelings in his heart. This is what he thinks of love.
Pete is wild and unruly and ignores any rules, and he thinks love doesn't make any sense. With you today, you can leave tomorrow, you can come back the day after tomorrow, and you can marry another person and have children the day after tomorrow.
For the heroine, these three people actually represent three different kinds of love that a woman can encounter in her life.
The third brother represents the first love. When he came, he was so sweet, but he didn't explain it when he died.
Big brother represents reality, living with big brother can have a house, a car, status, eat, drink, and taste.
What Pete stands for may represent the original appearance of love. There is no reason, no framework, no reason, no reason for anything, no moral restraint, no secular imprisonment, no external factors that can inhibit love itself, and of course there are no conditions that can make love stay forever.
Susan asked if I was pregnant, could you stay.
Pete shook his head.
Susan said, I will wait for you all my life.
Pete wrote back, just pretend I'm dead and marry someone else.
There's really nothing to say.
Perhaps from the current point of view, a normal woman would choose to live a normal and prosperous life with her eldest brother, and Susan's suicide for the Pete she couldn't get in the end is simply a broken brain.
But in other words, if everyone pursues the former, and no one is looking forward to Pitt's emotions, or a person has come to a time when they can no longer look forward to that emotion, it is not a sad thing.
