son of nature

People who like Brad Pitt, in addition to "The Years of Love", should not miss this movie. It seems that it also has a name called "River Runs", and the story flows slowly like running water. Disagree that it's a film about family or love, preferring the "Son of Nature" statement. Brad Pitt in the film represents a natural ideal. This kind of nature is not Tao Yuanming's "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely seeing the southern mountains", but the harmony with nature and the freedom of man himself.

6/10. The same starring Pitt, who also sacrificed his life for the pursuit of uninhibited freedom, the same proposition of man and nature, and the role of a father who abides by the rules, the film is fortunate that the values are not as distorted as [The Years of Love], and the story is better than [The Tree of Life] more complete. But I wonder how such a familiar plot and such an unfeeling soundtrack got an Oscar nomination? After a lot of narration and sensationalism, the still insipid mood almost put me to sleep. . .

The story, pictures, music, and words of the movie are as beautiful as a poem! (The young Brad Pitt really dumped some sentient beings) And I recognized Joseph at a glance! ! Child star! ! bahaha
A River Runs Through It quotes

[last lines]
Older Norman: [narrating] Like many fly fishermen in western Montana where the summer days are almost Arctic in length, I often do not start fishing until the cool of the evening. Then in the Arctic half-light of the canyon, all existence fades to a being with my soul and memories and the sounds of the Big Blackfoot River and a four-count rhythm and the hope that a fish will rise. Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of those rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs. I am haunted by waters.

Older Norman: [narrating] My father looked at me for a long time, just looked at me and this was the last he and I ever said to me about Paul's death. Indirectly though, he was present in many of our conversations. Once for instance, my father asked me a series of questions that suddenly make me wonder if I understood even my father, whom I felt closer to than any man I have ever known. "You like to tell true stories?" he asked and I answered, "Yes, I like to tell stories that are true." Then he asked, "After you have finished your true stories sometime, why don't you make up a story and the people to go with it? Only then will you understand what happened and why. It is those we live with and love and should know who elude us."
