DVD Reviews of A River Runs Through It

DVD Review: A Look Back
Summary: 4 Stars

The young folk might find this movie too slow moving for them. However, anyone who appreciates the people of the greatest generation will enjoy the deep reaching relationships in this film. I'm glad I have it in my movie library. It's worth watching again.

DVD Review: Awesome book and movie
Summary: 5 Stars

I thoroughly enjoyed both as me and my brother were both raised the same way but not quit as religious.

DVD Review: Masterpiece of Love and Fly-Fishing!
Summary: 5 Stars

Set in beautiful scenic Montana - near the Bitterroot River, the movie is based on Norman Maclean's much-loved autobiography about family, human nature and fly fishing. Robert Redford directs with deep understanding of the book and the area. The time is the 1900's - 1920's.

Two brothers, very different in temperament and aspirations love to fly fish with their father, a Presbyterian minister. The older brother, bookish Norman (Craig Sheffer), does all the usual and expected things of a minister's son. He is the scholarly more rigid son. The younger brother Paul (Brad Pitt) is bold and daring. He likes to take chances and have emotions run wild. He becomes a journalist for a local newspaper - enjoys each day and pushes the line, but loves his family too.

These two very different brothers are the focus of the story. They love to fly fish, and enjoy this one sport with their strict but loving father. Norman comes home from college and sees his brother's life become unraveled by the usual sins of gambling, wild women and drinking.

This is a very strong artful movie that shows not only the power of family, but life, love and nature tied together by fly-fishing.

DVD Review: A True Modern-day Classic
Summary: 5 Stars

I have loved watching this movie ever and ever, because each time I learn something new, or gain a greater insight into familial relationships, or just enjoy the scenery. The acting is superb, each actor so convincing in their protrayals This new edition is by far the best yet published. Blu-ray adds so much to the gorgeous scenery and draws you right into the story. The picture is pristine and the music so beautiful and effective. A gorgeous rendtion of one of the most important, moving, involving films produced in the twentieth century.

DVD Review: not true
Summary: 1 Stars

the movie is fine but before i purchased it i read the description and it says that the movie has subtitles in spanish and the true is that IT DOESN'T!

Description of A River Runs Through It

AN ENGROSSING STORY OF TWO BROTHER LIVING IN MONTANA UNDER THESTERN HAND OF A MINISTER FATHER. SPECIAL FEATURES: FULL SCREENAND WIDESCREEN VERSIONS, SUBTITLES: ENGLISH, FRENCH, SPANISH ANDPORTUGUESE, TALENT FILES, AND THEATRICAL TRAILERS.
A lyrical and nostalgic film from director Robert Redford (Quiz Show, Ordinary People), based on the popular autobiographical novel by Norman MacLean, A River Runs Through It shows the best that modern filmmaking has to offer. The film chronicles two brothers coming of age in early-20th-century Missoula, Montana, under the stern tutelage of their minister father, played by Tom Skerritt (Top Gun). Their father instills in them a love of fly fishing, which for one brother (Brad Pitt) becomes a lifelong passion even as he sets out to become a newspaperman and struggles with his addiction to gambling. The other brother, Norman (Craig Sheffer), dreams of exploring the world outside of Missoula as he falls in love with a local girl (Emily Lloyd) who also dreams of broader horizons. Soon one brother must discover the true meaning of family loyalty when the other finds himself in deeper trouble than ever before. Redford, who also narrates the film, does a masterful job in re-creating the period and in drawing out affecting performances from his young cast. An Oscar winner for Philippe Rousselot's luminescent cinematography, this is a poignant and special film. --Robert Lane
