The big handsome guy Brad Pitt and the less handsome guy Craig Sheffer performed a touching brotherhood. Their growth path and a river (True River, Montana) forged an indissoluble bond. When they were young, their father taught them to fish in the river. They used a beautiful fishing method--flyfisher. He gently waved the fishing rod, and the fishing line drew a beautiful arc in the air and then entered the water. At that time, the brothers wanted to go the most. Become an excellent flyfisher or boxer. The latter is because they still like to fight, and the younger brother often makes shots at critical moments and resorts to desperate styles of play.
The most memorable scene is that the brothers are in the same boat, sailing in the turbulent river, which is no less thrilling than the current rafting. When the boat fell from a waterfall several meters high, everyone's hearts were hanging in the air. Fortunately, the two were fine, but the boat was broken into pieces. At this time, the younger brother cheered, while the older brother was in shock. The difference in personality between the two can be seen. Afterwards, they were blamed by their father, and the two brothers had a fight. Since then, they rarely meet each other because of their work during the war. In the future, my elder brother went to school in a distant place for six years, while my younger brother stayed in the local university and worked as a reporter for the newspaper after graduation. Never saw each other again.
When the elder brother returned from his studies, everything in his hometown was so unfamiliar. His parents were old and his younger brother became a cynical gambler. It is the unchanging river that connects them together. Flyfisher is their unchanging common hobby. At this time, the level of the younger brother is far better than that of the older brother. He has become a fishing artist with graceful posture and great imagination. . At a party, my elder brother met his beloved woman, and when he received the appointment letter from the professor, he also won the hearts of beautiful people. The younger brother lost his young life in a casino fight.
The style of the whole film is faint, there is basically no ups and downs, except for Brad Pitt's passion, there is basically no color. But it is this faint taste that moved the audience, because the true love is seen in the ordinary, and the deep brotherhood is reflected by the bits and pieces in life. They never said "I LOVE U" or even hugged each other, but a single look and a single sentence all showed deep affection, even though there were estrangements and differences.
In addition to this, photography is also commendable. The scenery of Montana in the film is extremely beautiful. In particular, the Trot River is full of spirituality, shining in the morning light, and therefore won the Oscar for Best Photography. In the long river of life, is it not happiness to be accompanied by such a river?
