Understanding Life through "A River Runs Through It" Movie Review
If you've never had the opportunity to watch the film, "A River Runs Through It," starring Craig Sheffer, Brad Pitt and Tom Skerritt, I strongly suggest you take a peak.
The film, set in Montana's breathtaking scenery between 1910 and 1935, tells a story about two brothers and their minister father -- all whom are avid fly-fishermen. Directed by Robert Redford, this reflective story entails the lives of very different men trying to understand one another.
One of the most thought-stimulating movies in history, "A River Runs Through It," enables the viewer to see life through new perspectives. Closely resembling the popular 1970s' televisions series, "The Waltons," Tom Skerritt and his actor counterparts give Hollywood one of their most dramatic film performances ever.
Near the movie's ending, the narrator, (Craig Sheffer), says one of the most beautiful and endearing quotes of history: "...But when I am alone in the half light of the canyon all existence seems to fade to a being with my soul, and memories. And the sounds of the Big Black Foot 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 the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs. I am haunted by waters...."
"A River Runs Through It," is a more than a story put to film, it is life in its truest and purest form. Capturing an essence of life that transports
Republicans Are Voting In Far Greater Numbers Than Democrats
A study of what's happened so far in the primaries signals that Democrats just aren't as enthusiastic as Repubulicans this year. Nothing quite like this has happened since 1930.
BP Report Blames Multiple Companies For Gulf Spill
The oil giant's 193-page report says a sequence of failures led to the massive Gulf of Mexico spill that fouled waters and shorelines for months. The company's findings are far from the final word on possible causes of the explosion that sank the Deepwater Horizon drill rig.
persons to a place of reflection, the film exhibits nature in its wondrous peak; and lends understanding -- that sometimes, we may never understand.
"A River Runs Through It," allows one to conceive that even life does not always give us the answers we desire. Rather, life is moreover living the experience and finding solace in the gracious moments that we are given in those experiences. A thought to ponder.
