A River Runs Through It
The movie is a classic. I purchased this prior to visitng the site of the movie on the Gallatin River in Montana where I went fly fishing. It was an inspiriation to watch the movie from a cabin while living on the banks of the Gallatin River.

Title is good for this film.I liked the entire movie. I was kind of surprized by the ending. The actors were great. Thought it would be a good buy and people told me it was good.

A River Runs Through ItI loved this movie and would recommend it to anyone as one of my top 25 favorites. It is directed and narrated by Robert Redford. The movie is the autobiography of the life of Norman Maclean. Set in the 1920's in Montana, it is about 2 rebellious boys growing up under the care of their very stern minister father. It is definitely one of Brad Pitts best movies and a definite touch-down for Robert Redford as a director. Be prepared, this is the true story of someone's life. It may not have a hollywood ending. (This movie is rated PG but it does contain some situations and language. It may not be suited for small children).

Beautiful film of a powerful, heartbreaking storyReview created: 08/30/00

Before its release, I had been afraid to see the film, concerned that it would be emptied of life as The Milagro Beanfield War, a book less important to me than River was in Robert Redford s film of it. I knew that at the very least, the scenery in the film had to be beautiful. (And it was with shimmering cinematography of Montana by Philippe Rousselot, who was justly honored with an Academy Award for it.) Norman Maclean s voice may not be everything in his masterful novella, but it accounts for much of its power. Thus, I was very pleased that Redford retained it (and, indeed, did it himself).

THE STARS Craig Sheffer - Norman MacLean Brad Pitt - Paul MacLean Tom Skerritt - Reverend MacLean Robert Redford - Narrator Based somewhat on the autobiographical novella of Norman MacLean, this story is set in the 20's in the Montana countryside and more importantly, on the river. The symbolism of the river with its' peace and tranquility may be lost on some, but the premise of Reverend MacLean, somewhat harsh and stoic otherwise, sharing his love of fly fishing with his sons, becomes the crux of the story. Ruling with a heavy hand at home, MacLean becomes a soft and approachable person...

A River Runs Through It has to be one of the best movies released in the nineties. It is simple, yet poetic. In my opinion, it's just simply beautiful. A mature, contemplative film brimming with emotion. A River Runs Through It was released in 1992. It has a rating of PG. It is considered a family drama. It does have some adult situations and profanity. I would suggest you watch it yourself before deciding right off the bat whether or not you want your child to watch it. I couldn't find anything in the movie that would be that devastating or damaging, but it's still a choice best left up to..

He called it shadow casting. Keeping his line above the water long enough and low enough to make a rainbow rise---and I realized that in the time I was away, my brother had become an artist. To me, this is the most extraordinary quote from A River Runs Through It. This part of the movie touches me like no other. The Plot: This is a superb film about an American family and especially the bond between brothers. On the outside, the family looks ideal two wonderful, successful sons and two happily married parents; one of whom is a minister. It is apparent in the movie that (Pitt) is favored in...

While a big part of this movie is about fly-fishing, that certainly is not all it's about. It is about a minister, played by Tom Skerritt and his two sons - played by Brad Pitt and Robert Redford. The one son is rather a black sheep of the family. Always going out partying, drinking and gambling. The other son is, I feel always looking out for his brother and trying to keep him out of trouble. Tom Skerritt as always is very good, but the one that really makes the show is Brad Pitt. Not only is he not at all hard on the eyes, he is a very good actor and does a really great job in this part....
