The characters are very simple and the plot is very concise.

In Montana, the United States, a large river flows there. A pious pastor, his two sons were born, grown up, and grown up here.

When I was young, in the river, my father taught his two sons to fish, the eldest son followed the procedure, and the younger son secretly invented another method.

After growing up, the eldest son was admitted to a university in the east and got a Ph.D. The youngest son went to school at a local college and then became a reporter. On the other hand, he became a well-known fishing master.

Later, the eldest son was hired to teach literature at the University of Chicago, and the younger son was beaten to death for abusive gambling.

The elder brother's evaluation of his younger brother is that his younger brother's life is artistic, but real life cannot be artistic. In addition, the elder brother who is a professor of literature is also the narrator of this story.

It just so happened to see Andre Moroa in his commentary for "Reminiscence of the Years" that Proust's "this kind of seclusion helps to transform life into art."

    Life is like a big river. fly-fishing fly fishing. Benny worm bait. Those throwing lines were really good. Indian girls have really white skin. The candle burns at both ends. It will not last the night. But, ah, my foes, and oh, my firends, it gives a lovely light. 4758 The background of the great era has been hidden. Montana has three things not to be late for, work, going to church and fishing.

    This movie condenses a deep sense of homesickness. Maybe you are far away from your hometown, maybe a long time has passed, maybe you try your best to escape, but the clouds, water, moon, and people in your hometown are still the most familiar warmth.
