I've been wondering if the director of "Legends of the Fall" saw Brad Pitt play here and decided to cast him in that heartwarming western. It's not that the two films are similar, but that the relationship between father and son and between brothers is always warm. Everyone has a Paul and Norman in their hearts, and they all have a similar story. This is just an inconspicuous one among thousands of ordinary families.
In Norman's memory, Paul is always a bohemian hot-blooded man. Paul's final outcome can be predicted from many places. Like the Indian woman. Although he is more romantic than his brother, more innovative than him, and braver than him, life chose Norman, and Paul's young life disappeared forever. Because life is not art.

    Plain, pure, gentle but strong, that is the quality of the past, that is the most beautiful flash of human nature washed by the river.

A River Runs Through It quotes

  • [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.
