It is also a story about family love, but is different from the more famous "Legend of the Fallen" (Legend of the Fallen) with the same theme starring Pete. The latter focuses more on conflicts between love and family relationships, while the former focuses on comparison and analysis from differences in character and human nature. Although the latter is more tense, fierce, sad, and more well-known, the former finds profound in the calm and quiet. Compared with the feeling after watching, "Legend of Autumn" makes me immersed in the grieving Scottish bagpipes and can't help myself (I still find the original soundtrack everywhere); "Love in the River" seems to be blocked in my chest A bunch of things, I want to say but I can't say it. Later, I thought of a word to describe my depressed emotions and feelings, that is "astringent".
In beautiful Montana, a big river quietly passes through the entire town. The priest in the small town has two children and grew up by the river. The older brother is silent, traditional and conservative; the younger brother (played by Pete) is more lively, free and rebellious. This personality difference is reflected in all aspects of life, such as fishing, which is their common hobby throughout their lives. The elder brother followed his father's tricks, step by step, and could always catch a lot of fish; however, the younger brother always found a new way with his own ideas, often returning empty-handed, until he finally returned with a full load. For another example, in career, my elder brother went to school and was hired as a professor by a prestigious school after graduation. Every step he took made the parents at home comforted and relieved; my younger brother thought it was useless to study and entered the society very early, so he worked as a job at a local newspaper. reporter. Fortunately, both of them are excellent, and the geographical separation has also played down these conflicts (brother has been going to school in another place).
My brother's graduation from university exacerbated the conflict in the film. On the one hand, after falling into a relationship, he found that his younger brother can handle many things in life more freely than himself, similar to feelings, games, socializing, socializing, etc. On the other hand, the elder brother was worried about his younger brother’s series of actions that were contrary to family education and common sense: falling in love with people of color, alcoholism, gambling... and the younger brother was eventually broken by his life due to gambling debts, violent corpses on the street. , Leaving my brother infinite sadness and nostalgia. The film started and ended in the wrinkles and vicissitudes of my brother’s narrative, and left a touch of sadness in my heart.
I have always thought that the reason why movies are both elegant and popular and deeply rooted in people’s hearts as art is that people can find a spiritual fit, whether it is a moment or an eternity, from the mottled light and shadow, and the interlacing of sound and image, so that they can feel something. Even shocked.
And if you are growing up to play the role of your brother or younger brother-just like me, you will be more likely to fall deeply into the sadness and sadness rendered by the director while watching the movie.
