Ageless rain on the stone

Memories of films, whether tragic or comedy, always have a feeling of sadness but not sadness. Seeing immersed in the plot, there is always an old and calm voice-over that reminds us that the narrator is there, no matter what happened or is about to happen, he is still here, no matter how bad it happened No matter how bad things are, at least he's still alive. A little reassuring feeling.

But there is a tragedy that is neither tragic nor tragic, making people cry a lot, but not giving people a reason to fall. In his later years, Norman fished alone, saying that "all the people I loved but didn't know are dead". I really feel breathless. In fact, I knew it from the beginning, when Paul took a photo with the big fish he caught, or earlier, when he first got into a fight with someone for that Indian girl.


I took note of what Norman said, there is ageless rain on the stones.

  • [first lines]

    Older Norman: [narrating] Long ago, when I was a young man, my father said to me, "Norman, you like to write stories." And I said "Yes, I do." Then he said, "Someday, when you're ready you might tell our family story. Only then will you understand what happened and why."

  • Norman Maclean: The world is full of bastards, the number increasing rapidly the further one gets from Missoula, Montana.
