When i was a kid, I took Tristan's side. When I rewatched this as a grown man, I took Alfred's side. When I experienced how much life can tear you apart, I realized neither were at fault.
I gotta say Alfred had to overcome a lot. The guy was a true hero at the end. Think about it, everyone loved Tristen more. Yet he still showed for his family at the end, even his father loved Tristen more. I'm sorry but Tristan is no different than a charismatic dog. 😂
Tristans side or Alfred's side? This is all on Susannah, dude. She jumped on every one of Colonel Ludlows sons' sticks. She tore through that family and ruined what little stability they had. What kind of person sleeps with two of their deceased partners' siblings and turn them even further against one another. Like, I know the brothers aren't blameless, but come on, she was the spark that started the fire.
This was THE movie that made Brad Pitt a global heartbreaker. Back in the 90's I watched this movie several times, it's themes are timeless and the intense emotion always makes me cry. Interesting to see a new generation 're-discover' it.
This is one of those movies that leaves me with a feeling of sad emptiness. You see them as young children with their father in the prime of his life, and by the end they're all gone...it makes me think about how many people's stories have started, been told, ended and then been forgotten, and how my story will one day end and whether I'll be important enough to anyone to be remembered when it does.
beautiful comment that is exactly I felt when I watched all gone in the end that is sad and it is the reality kind of empty and sad feeling this kind of movies leave in ur heart for ever
I used to feel the same way and it would make me depressed. I found God. He created you and I. He has an eternal purpose for you. Turn to Jesus Christ and discover the eternal relationship with the God who loves you and wants you to be with Him forever.
I was supposed to be named Tristan after this movie, but my mom made a deal with my dad that if he left her alone for the pregnancy she would let him name me. So now I’m Teddy.
Unbelievable film, every box ticked, AMAZING!! Class! Zero CGI, just a great script, cast, acting, locations, direction, they really don't make them like this anymore, top reaction as per ladies 🙌
@@sumelar and I'll never understand why people make sweeping generalisations about people who they don't know and they've never met ... Hardly 'whining' about CGI was I, simply said there's none in this film, didn't say it was bad or good or that I hate it or that it's overused but since we're on the subject, raised by you I might add, some of us prefer our movie experience to be based on things more intricate like a script, a story, a character, location, cinematography, acting, you know that thing actors used to do before marvel and Disney turned them into green screen puppets. We haven't all got the attention span of your average tiktoker and some of us like a bit more depth, effort, skill and realism than bright shiny lights and unrealistic imagery, but if you're that easily pleased or mentally/visually stimulated, good for you, what a time to be alive... As you were
This is one of my top 10 movies of all time. It's so good. Some parts may seem slow, but the characters and relationships are so fleshed out. It's so good. This is fantastic movie making at its finest. Direction, storytelling, music, setting, acting, casting, emotion, atmosphere, etc, etc.
He was also in Practical Magic with Nicole Kidman & Sandra Bullock give that movie a look he also did a mini movie about Paul McCartney & John Lennon had John still been alive Aiden played Paul.
Saw this in the theater in college. I leaned over to my girlfriend and said she gets a pass if somehow Brad Pitt showed up. She elbowed me acting mad. About an hour later she leaned over and said, “I’ll take you up on that.” It was so funny. All the women in the theater gushed. I actually fell in love with his acting. He wasn’t just a pretty boy anymore after that to me. Great reaction ladies.
I cant watch again for that reason....one of the BEST EVER but for that reason its like you have to be ready for a good cry and to have your guts twisted.
Alfred was played by Aidan Quinn, his first film was called "Reckless" and I highly recommend it. When it was released, Aidan was hailed to be the next James Dean. Secondly, Samuel was played by Henry Thomas whose first role was Elliot in the blockbuster, "E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial".
Aidan Quinn is so expressive, just a terrific actor all around...in fact I think he may have given the best performance in this film (and that's saying a lot considering he was acting alongside Anthony Hopkins and Julia Ormond!).
IT is Anthony Hopkins....and the youngest son is played by Henry Thomas... who as a little boy in 1980 played Elliot in the Spielberg Classic, E.T. Legends of the Fall...really was a sweeping epic film in it's scope and star power. It's a moving look at life of the family bridging post civil war American West through the early 1030's. Hope you enjoyed!
Some of the best movies were made in 1993. Such as, "Son In Law," "Menace II Society," "What's Eating Gilbert Grape," "Dazed and Confused," "Tombstone," "Schindler's List," "Rudy," "The Sandlot," "The Good Son," "A Perfect World," "Grumpy Old Men," "Groundhog Day," "Cool Runnings," "Mrs. Doubtfire," but yall have to watch, "A River Runs Through It"
"A Perfect World" is a great movie. I love the morality themes that run through it which pit what is right and ethical against the justice and law enforcement systems.
God, I've lost count of how many times I've watched this. Personally, I'm sure I'm a masochist because it still makes me cry. Every. Damn. Time. Even cut up like this I cried. To me, that's the mark of an epic movie. I think this is such an underrated film. Everything was so spot on. Yes, Brad Pitt was phenomenal, also very underrated. Yes, he also was and is beauty personified. Too beautiful to be real at times. That's what has made his career so interesting to watch. This film is what made me sit up and take notice of his chops for the first time. Se7en smacked me in the face and announced he was ready to play with the big boys. I will always hold Legends close to my heart though. I think because I identified with Tristan and his inner bear. We all have our demons. Thank you. Seriously. I needed this today.
This movie is just one of the most amazing works of art I have ever seen. It just has a special place and meaning in my heart. It has levels of beauty and sadness I have never seen in a film before. My second time seeing it just now. Truly a unique film. I wanted to visit a review and in a way experience it with others and see how it also affected others.
This movie had ALL the feels. I was excited to rewatch this with you guys because I knew you and your sister would laugh, cry and blush ☺️ and you guys didn't disappoint. Once again, great reactions Cassie and Carly!
Absolutely agreed. I know a lot of young guys like myself who didnt see it cuz all anyone was talking about was Brad Pitt's hair lol. Saw it a few years later flipping through channels and have been hooked since.
15:04 _"Who thought we would like this?"_ Just what I was thinking, as I considered the endless tragedy in this film. I think it's a fantastic film (I love it), but it's no _happily ever after._ 😢 So glad you enjoyed it too, despite the pain.
You guys are too cute! Love your reactions. Edward Zwick was the director of this movie. You've seen two of his other films... "The Last Samurai" and "Glory". He's a great director!
I just watched this yesterday and this was probably the saddest most depressing story I've seen in a long time, everything just looked hopeless and that no one was gonna be happy in the end. But I love how in the end Family Is Everything.
"Whoever these men were and wherever they came from, the tens of thousands of those who were American citizens fought with distinction, as did Canada in the war. When the U.S. finally declared itself in 1917, most stayed with their Canadian brethren and with the concurrence of their own government. By 1920, they were fully welcomed back into their own country as American citizens in good standing. The dead among them were legally welcomed in American war cemeteries (though they were bound by policy to remain in CWGC cemeteries), and the Cross of Sacrifice of the Commonwealth Forces was dedicated at Arlington." I don't know this part of history well, but to my understanding, America at that time did not declared war to Germany, so its citizens could face backlash from the government by going to war under the American flag, so some 35000 brave Americans crossed to Canada and enlisted there. It has been more than 20 years since i saw this movie, but i remember the ladies back then where in ecstasy by the acting of Brad Pitt, ahahah.
This is my all time favorite movie. It has 2 of my favorite actors along side each other, in Brad and Sir Anthony. It has all the emotions you never knew you could have in 2hrs and 13 mins. It has so many perfect components , the acting, the directing, story, suspense, joy, sorrow. It's the full roll coaster. And the sets and landscapes by the cinematography (which was its only Oscar win of 3 nominations) and the immaculate musical score from the late James Horner, cause a beautiful cohesion of filmmaking. This movie will bring me to tears every time, it did while I watched you both reacting to it, even knowing what is coming, but maybe teared up a little more from the emotional reaction of both of you. Likely because seeing someone react to it the first time, as I wish I could again, and experience the pure emotional exhaustion. Thank you so much for that.
Always loved this film. Always makes me think of when I saw it with my Dad. This is. The best commentary on this amazing film. Ever. Thankye for the laughs and the tears.
Yes!! Legends of the Fall! Such an epic romantic in like a classical sense and emotional arc of a movie! I’m so glad you guys are also discovering movies that aren’t as you say your usual rom-com but are also epic in romance stories! Some actually most of the most epic movies have romance, tragic and otherwise. This alongside Ten Commandments and Casablanca and Braveheart is a must see! So many kinds of relationships here!
Why is it that "Braveheart" gets all the love while one rarely hears about "Rob Roy" (1995, Liam Neeson & Lessica Lange) from the same year? Personally, I think "Rob Roy" is the better movie. It's certainly at least as well made.
I am 65, so ole enough to be your Granpa! I first saw this movie on TV in 1998 at Christmas time. I have since watched it about once a year and to this day cannot get through it without shedding tears. It is extremely powerful. I began to think I would never find anything like this again. UNTIL, the new series 1923. I would love to get your take on it as well. There are SOOO many parallels between that series to this movie. Thank you so much for sharing this!
Brad Pitt's role in Tarantino's Inglorious Bastards is a riff on his role here in Legends of the Fall. Tarantino recognized that this movie is a great big ball of cheese, but hugely influential and hugely fun too.
If you haven’t watched The Curious Case of Benjamin Button you should!!! It’s such a well told story and Brad Pitt & Cate Blanchett shine all throughout.
OMG you did it! And together with your sister too, great! I don't think I promised you too much when I recommended the film. The insanely great cast, the locations and the story are simply fantastic. And of course Brad...I had a giggle to see your reaction when he first appeared on screen. That's how it was for me and my best friend at the cinema. I saw it twice in the cinema, but the second time we were better prepared with enough tissues. It also has to be said that Brad doesn't just look out of this world in this film, but that he delivers a fantastic acting performance as well, also Sir Anthony Hopkins. If you think Brad couldn't be any better looking, I recommend "Meet Joe Black" next. You will 1. melt away and 2. realize that it can always get better.
The outstanding actors playing here are Anthony Hopkins, Brad Pitt, Julia Ormond, and Aidan Quinn. The lady who played in Sabrina was the unique Audrey Hepburn.
Fun fact, the location where majority of this movie was filmed was on the Stoney Nakoda First Nation Reserve, the same location of other popular movies such as Shanghai Noon, The Revenant, and multiple TV series
I loved this movie, it was a masterpiece. That said I have only seen it once, all the pain and suffering in the movie, I will never sit through it again. Just watching the bits and pieces had me in tears.
I know the two of you well enough by now that my eyebrows went up when you said someone suggested you would love this movie, because I know his movie well, and I knew what you were in for. It is an incredible movie, but a powerful emotional rollercoaster with tragedy after tragedy after tragedy.
You ladies remind me of my 2 younger sisters and I have 2 older brothers so I have spent part of my day with something in my eye and a runny nose.Bless u both.
If you really want to watch a movie with a happy ending that is also a great baseball movie, you should watch the 1999 movie - "For Love of the Game." It stars Kevin Costner and the late actress, Kelly Preston. I rank this movie and "Field of Dreams" as the two best baseball dramas of all time; and I rank "Major League" and "Mr. Baseball" as the two best comedic baseball movies.
I heard "Sabrina" mentioned as a future watch but it sounds like it's going to be the 1995 version. There's also a 1954 version with Audrey Hepburn that I would also recommend!
One of my favorite movies of all time. I am a truck driver and I just listened to your video. These are good videos to listen to since I know the movie so well I do not need to watch in order to understand what’s happening. So here I am big strong guy, fighter, truck driver, outdoorsman etc.… And here I am bawling with you too about the same parts because these things hit harder as I get older. You got a subscriber out of me
He was his brother! He had to have his back!! My big brother is my best friend. We don't get along all the time but I know I can count on him..hence the movie scene. Only difference is it wasn't expected. Lol
The breathtaking filming locations chosen for Legends of the Fall in Canada played an integral role in creating the film's mesmerizing backdrop. Canada's pristine wilderness, specifically in the Western Canadian province of ALBERTA'S Rocky Mountains, lent an awe-inspiring grandeur to the film! From a fellow Tristan fan here in beautiful Calgary, Alberta, Canada, in the foothills of the same GREAT Canadian Rocky Mountains! Shawn
Tristan was a bad ass. Even when he shows up back at camp those soldiers knew he was in a other universe. A man that had seen his bother destroyed in front of him. If that isn't hell I don't know what is.
Watching others react to this movie dies me proud. I’ve done some of the music mixing and music editing for the movie. My then girlfriend whom I didn’t know at the time was the hairstylist for all the cast. It was only 6 years later that we’d first met.
For a while I considered this movie a guilty pleasure because my mom introduced it to me and because it could be considered cheesey or melodramatic. But now I can say I love this movie without shame. With acting and filmmaking this good and with some very moving and effective emotional moments, I'm okay with all the big drama and Brad Pitt's almost unbearable hotness. Most importantly for me, the cinematography by John Toll and the music by James Horner are both so amazing in this film and are my favorite qualities the film has going for it. I saw Cassie & Carly's full reaction of this on Patreon and seeing them watch it elevated the feels I usually have while watching this film. It was some much needed emotional release and a wonderful reaction. Thank you, both.
While I'm not as enthralled with this movie as you, I will totally agree that both the cinematography and James Horner's score on their own make this film worth experiencing.
This is one of my all time favorite movies. Oddly, I am sort of addicted to tragic, sad films. And this one...wow. But the acting and storyline are superb!
I also highly recommend A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT. Brad Pitt is great and the film is much more subtle and nuanced, and less melodramatic than Legends of the Fall.
Ladies', I really enjoyed you reactions, you like got it on the first run! I've watched this movie with the same emotions many times. Julia should have won an Oscar for her amazing performance.................I have lived a similar situation to Tristan and Suzanna which the emotions are real and heart breaking.
True Lies is a lot of fun. I think both sisters would enjoy it. Another one is the Bruce Willis flick "RED". It has an all-star cast and is largely ignored by reactors.
I like that there is a house in Red Dead Redemption 2 meant to be a large easter egg to this film, basically they copied much of the homestead from this film and re-created it in the game.
Just in case no-one has mentioned it yet, You and Carly should watch ‘Meet Joe Black’. I know you ladies enjoy a great romance and this is one of those films. It reunites Anthony Hopkins and Brad Pitt. I’m a guy and even I was wondering how a human being could be so handsome. 😉
Definitely agree that you girls should review "Interview With A Vampire." It is an emotional equivalent of this, but it goes through like a 200 year period.
I watched this movie when i was 20 and i still lived under my parents roof at the time, otherwise, i would have legally changed my name to Tristan. I'm 47 now...and i still will use Tristan as my name when i order something where they ask me for my name. This movie was probably one of the top 5 impactful movies of my young life! I'm straight as an arrow but God damn Brad Pitt is smoking hot in this movie!!! lol.
13:00 you all don't even know what's about to come. One of the greatest movies ever made and shows complexity, love and horror of human nature. Edit: 16:30 You all still don't even know how much more is to come. 26:30 You don't even know about the twists that are about to happen. 27:25....Yeah that would be crazy ;) This was very interseting to watch and my first experience with this channel...Seeing the raw emotion to the deepness of this movie is refreshing
For a better context, America didn't declare war on Germany until late into the war in 1918. In 1914, Americans that wanted to fight either joined the Canadian military or sail to Europe to either join the British or French militaries.
Filmed west of Calgary, Alberta and in Vancouver, British Columbia. Fun fact1: Some of the indoor scenes were filmed at a curling rink in Calgary. Fun fact2: O'Banion actually accidentally hit Tristan/Pitt in the temple with a weapon just after "Two" was shot on the road toward the end of the movie. You could see Pitt's actual wound on his temple when they were filming the lawn tennis scene (they shot the film out of order and needed to write an excuse into the script to explain it). Fun fact3: A Vancouver street was the setting for Helena, Montana. They took over one of the very old streets and redressed it to look like the early 1900s...
I love, love, love this film. Hi Carly 😊 Glad you’re back looking forward to watch your reaction to this one. I also recommend you watch Meet Joe Black. 😊
Great Film from back when Hollyweird still knew how to make good films. The main reason it is so good is because it didn't have the happy ending, this is how life usually goes, we don't always get what we want. If you girls loved the cinematography on this one, you should check out, "The Horse Whisperer".
So glad you guys did this movie! You're doing some of my favorites across the board: LOTR, Braveheart, Last Samurai, True Detective, Silence of the Lambs... all so so good. Keep it up!
When i was a kid, I took Tristan's side. When I rewatched this as a grown man, I took Alfred's side. When I experienced how much life can tear you apart, I realized neither were at fault.

@@Blue_Eyed_Chippewa true. I can’t see at that time a woman being that promiscuous. Especially a well bred woman.
And when you finally grow up you'll realize this movie sucks.

Vampire
@@hiramrosajr8231Actually, both movies were in the theaters at the same time('94/'95)
Thelma and Louise.
It was actually Thelma and Louise, but yeah, he did steal many hearts with this one.
“It was a good death” always gets me, it was Tristan’s happy ending.
Truly the first film that ever made me straight up cry while watching. Not just tear up or choke up, straight up flowing tears ugly cry.
This is one of those movies that leaves me with a feeling of sad emptiness. You see them as young children with their father in the prime of his life, and by the end they're all gone...it makes me think about how many people's stories have started, been told, ended and then been forgotten, and how my story will one day end and whether I'll be important enough to anyone to be remembered when it does.
I completely understand this
At some point this world will no longer exist and everything will be forgotten. So my advice is to accept it and not stress over it.
You will be remembered by those who love you.
beautiful comment
that is exactly I felt when I watched all gone in the end
that is sad and it is the reality
kind of empty and sad feeling this kind of movies leave in ur heart for ever
I used to feel the same way and it would make me depressed. I found God. He created you and I. He has an eternal purpose for you. Turn to Jesus Christ and discover the eternal relationship with the God who loves you and wants you to be with Him forever.
The amount of children who were named Tristan after this movie came out was astronomical!
My sister named her baby Tristan right after she saw the movie
She was 9 months pregnant
Yes, Hello, I am Tristan.
I named my son Tristan as well after this movie.
I was supposed to be named Tristan after this movie, but my mom made a deal with my dad that if he left her alone for the pregnancy she would let him name me. So now I’m Teddy.
Cool name, no comment there after :) haha
Unbelievable film, every box ticked, AMAZING!! Class! Zero CGI, just a great script, cast, acting, locations, direction, they really don't make them like this anymore, top reaction as per ladies 🙌
Nail hit on the head...so true.

@@SyMchale A direct response to what you said is not a sweeping generalization.
@@SyMchale It would be hard to pull off certain superheroes without CGI. Like Aquaman for example. Terminator 2 works better for CGI
This is one of my top 10 movies of all time. It's so good. Some parts may seem slow, but the characters and relationships are so fleshed out. It's so good. This is fantastic movie making at its finest. Direction, storytelling, music, setting, acting, casting, emotion, atmosphere, etc, etc.
Henry Thomas... Samuel in this movie is also the little boy in the movie E.T.
Yes, Elliot.
Quite true.
Aidan Quinn is also in the fantastic Johnny Depp film, "Benny and Joon". It's, uh...kind of quirky, in the best way and quite a beautiful love story.
He’s good in everything. But I do love Benny and Joon!
He's also the "perfect" man from Practical Magic.
He was also in Practical Magic with Nicole Kidman & Sandra Bullock give that movie a look he also did a mini movie about Paul McCartney & John Lennon had John still been alive Aiden played Paul.

This movie is haunting. It is so good but it takes a little chunk of your heart/soul each time you watch it.
I cant watch again for that reason....one of the BEST EVER but for that reason its like you have to be ready for a good cry and to have your guts twisted.
The whole cast killed it but I loved Julia Ormond in this, she was amazing. You can't help but love her character in this film.
Alfred was played by Aidan Quinn, his first film was called "Reckless" and I highly recommend it. When it was released, Aidan was hailed to be the next James Dean. Secondly, Samuel was played by Henry Thomas whose first role was Elliot in the blockbuster, "E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial".
He's also so great in "Benny and Joon". Would love to see Cassie react to that.
Damn....never knew that was him....but I should have known just by seeing him....mind blown. 🤯
Yes, he was great in Reckless, Desperately Seeking Susan, Practical Magic, Benny and Joon etc..
Aidan Quinn is so expressive, just a terrific actor all around...in fact I think he may have given the best performance in this film (and that's saying a lot considering he was acting alongside Anthony Hopkins and Julia Ormond!).
This movie is one of the few movies ever made that I can say is a masterpiece everything about it is perfect.
IT is Anthony Hopkins....and the youngest son is played by Henry Thomas... who as a little boy in 1980 played Elliot in the Spielberg Classic, E.T.

Lol at Son In Law 😆 but so true.
Dang, you ain't lyin'. (I'd also like to add 'Alive' to the list :)
"A Perfect World" is a great movie. I love the morality themes that run through it which pit what is right and ethical against the justice and law enforcement systems.
I agree with a perfect world
The '90s in general were an embarrassment of cinematic riches.
This movie is an emotional rollercoaster. It's hard to think of others like it.

You guys are too cute! Love your reactions. Edward Zwick was the director of this movie. You've seen two of his other films... "The Last Samurai" and "Glory". He's a great director!
I named my son after Brad Pitt’s character.
The majority of the movie was filmed in Calgary, Ghost River, and Morley Alberta.
Many have named

Likely because seeing someone react to it the first time, as I wish I could again, and experience the pure emotional exhaustion. Thank you so much for that.
Always loved this film. Always makes me think of when I saw it with my Dad. This is. The best commentary on this amazing film. Ever. Thankye for the laughs and the tears.
Yes!! Legends of the Fall! Such an epic romantic in like a classical sense and emotional arc of a movie! I’m so glad you guys are also discovering movies that aren’t as you say your usual rom-com but are also epic in romance stories! Some actually most of the most epic movies have romance, tragic and otherwise. This alongside Ten Commandments and Casablanca and Braveheart is a must see! So many kinds of relationships here!
Why is it that "Braveheart" gets all the love while one rarely hears about "Rob Roy" (1995, Liam Neeson & Lessica Lange) from the same year? Personally, I think "Rob Roy" is the better movie. It's certainly at least as well made.
@paintedjaguar I think because there are large battles in Braveheart.
Because Braveheart came out.
I am 65, so ole enough to be your Granpa! I first saw this movie on TV in 1998 at Christmas time. I have since watched it about once a year and to this day cannot get through it without shedding tears. It is extremely powerful. I began to think I would never find anything like this again. UNTIL, the new series 1923. I would love to get your take on it as well. There are SOOO many parallels between that series to this movie. Thank you so much for sharing this!
Brad Pitt's role in Tarantino's Inglorious Bastards is a riff on his role here in Legends of the Fall.
Tarantino recognized that this movie is a great big ball of cheese, but hugely influential and hugely fun too.
After watching this reaction, I'd like to see you two watch "Scent of a Woman". Extremely powerful and such a memorable movie for me.
Agreed. I would love to see their reaction to that. A perfect movie.
YES. Best movie monologue of all time??
A very beautiful movie with a magnificent Al Pacino
If you haven’t watched The Curious Case of Benjamin Button you should!!! It’s such a well told story and Brad Pitt & Cate Blanchett shine all throughout.
And Julia Ormont is in it too! (Who plays Susannah in this movie)
I was 14 when this came out and we would watch it several dozen times. Swooning and crying. Swooning and crying. 🤣 Such a great movie.
OMG you did it! And together with your sister too, great! I don't think I promised you too much when I recommended the film. The insanely great cast, the locations and the story are simply fantastic. And of course Brad...I had a giggle to see your reaction when he first appeared on screen. That's how it was for me and my best friend at the cinema. I saw it twice in the cinema, but the second time we were better prepared with enough tissues. It also has to be said that Brad doesn't just look out of this world in this film, but that he delivers a fantastic acting performance as well, also Sir Anthony Hopkins.
If you think Brad couldn't be any better looking, I recommend "Meet Joe Black" next. You will 1. melt away and 2. realize that it can always get better.
They understand...
Lol
The soundtrack was amazing. It should have received an academy award
If it has not already been suggested, Mr. Holland's Opus (1995).
The outstanding actors playing here are Anthony Hopkins, Brad Pitt, Julia Ormond, and Aidan Quinn. The lady who played in Sabrina was the unique Audrey Hepburn.
Sabrina the remake...
Fun fact, the location where majority of this movie was filmed was on the Stoney Nakoda First Nation Reserve, the same location of other popular movies such as Shanghai Noon, The Revenant, and multiple TV series
I loved this movie, it was a masterpiece. That said I have only seen it once, all the pain and suffering in the movie, I will never sit through it again. Just watching the bits and pieces had me in tears.
My favorite romance movie of all time. So epic in it’s tragedy. Watch it again! It gets better with every viewing.
Cassie, you should watch Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins in MEET JOE BLACK (1998 film).
I know the two of you well enough by now that my eyebrows went up when you said someone suggested you would love this movie, because I know his movie well, and I knew what you were in for. It is an incredible movie, but a powerful emotional rollercoaster with tragedy after tragedy after tragedy.
You ladies remind me of my 2 younger sisters and I have 2 older brothers so I have spent part of my day with something in my eye and a runny nose.Bless u both.
If you really want to watch a movie with a happy ending that is also a great baseball movie, you should watch the 1999 movie - "For Love of the Game." It stars Kevin Costner and the late actress, Kelly Preston. I rank this movie and "Field of Dreams" as the two best baseball dramas of all time; and I rank "Major League" and "Mr. Baseball" as the two best comedic baseball movies.
Bull Durham is another Kevin Costner baseball classic, with Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins. Think they got married after this movie
Cassie, I think you will like Open Range. It has Kevin Costner in it with a sweet love story.
This movie is sooooo epic, and very rewatchable
I heard "Sabrina" mentioned as a future watch but it sounds like it's going to be the 1995 version. There's also a 1954 version with Audrey Hepburn that I would also recommend!
Nobody beats Audrey Hepburn in that film.
I think this movie was tailor made for you two girls. It was a good time watching you both ride the roller coaster of this movie.
One of my favorite movies of all time. I am a truck driver and I just listened to your video. These are good videos to listen to since I know the movie so well I do not need to watch in order to understand what’s happening. So here I am big strong guy, fighter, truck driver, outdoorsman etc.… And here I am bawling with you too about the same parts because these things hit harder as I get older. You got a subscriber out of me
He was his brother! He had to have his back!! My big brother is my best friend. We don't get along all the time but I know I can count on him..hence the movie scene. Only difference is it wasn't expected. Lol
The breathtaking filming locations chosen for Legends of the Fall in Canada played an integral role in creating the film's mesmerizing backdrop. Canada's pristine wilderness, specifically in the Western Canadian province of ALBERTA'S Rocky Mountains, lent an awe-inspiring grandeur to the film! From a fellow Tristan fan here in beautiful Calgary, Alberta, Canada, in the foothills of the same GREAT Canadian Rocky Mountains! Shawn
Tristan was a bad ass. Even when he shows up back at camp those soldiers knew he was in a other universe. A man that had seen his bother destroyed in front of him. If that isn't hell I don't know what is.
I've watched this like... 4 times now. Love your reactions. One of the best films of all time.
One of the most shaking movie I've ever seen. Everyone is broken and I kinda like it.
Funny that One-Stab refused to speak English, yet he's the narrator of the whole movie-speaking English
Lmao
Nice way to discover this channel. Love the score to this movie.
1 of my favorite movies of all time. You girls did it justice. I fully enjoyed your review.
Watching others react to this movie dies me proud. I’ve done some of the music mixing and music editing for the movie. My then girlfriend whom I didn’t know at the time was the hairstylist for all the cast. It was only 6 years later that we’d first met.
Uh oh… the bear. “The bear” 👸👸 pure gold ladies!
I saw it when it was released. One of my favorites. Powerful
For a while I considered this movie a guilty pleasure because my mom introduced it to me and because it could be considered cheesey or melodramatic. But now I can say I love this movie without shame. With acting and filmmaking this good and with some very moving and effective emotional moments, I'm okay with all the big drama and Brad Pitt's almost unbearable hotness. Most importantly for me, the cinematography by John Toll and the music by James Horner are both so amazing in this film and are my favorite qualities the film has going for it. I saw Cassie & Carly's full reaction of this on Patreon and seeing them watch it elevated the feels I usually have while watching this film. It was some much needed emotional release and a wonderful reaction. Thank you, both.
While I'm not as enthralled with this movie as you, I will totally agree that both the cinematography and James Horner's score on their own make this film worth experiencing.
Please watch the STAR TREK movies! 🖖
This is one of my all time favorite movies. Oddly, I am sort of addicted to tragic, sad films. And this one...wow. But the acting and storyline are superb!
I don't think there is a term for it, but the girls just spent a whole movie simultaneously turned on and bawling their eyes out lol.
Omg! The scene whenever Tristan comes back with his hair flowing and the horses.... (swoon)
One of my favourite films of all time. Surprised that I've never seen any other channel watch this. Epic film, epic cast, epic story. ❤
I highly recommend the movie "Colossus: The Forbin Project" from 1970!
Oh hell yes!!! Definitely!
I also highly recommend A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT. Brad Pitt is great and the film is much more subtle and nuanced, and less melodramatic than Legends of the Fall.
Oh Brad's dance in Legend ❤️❤️❤️
Ladies', I really enjoyed you reactions, you like got it on the first run! I've watched this movie with the same emotions many times. Julia should have won an Oscar for her amazing performance.................I have lived a similar situation to Tristan and Suzanna which the emotions are real and heart breaking.
This is one of my favorites! Love watching both of your reactions ♥️
"True Lies" would be great for a reaction video!
I agree with this!
True Lies is a lot of fun. I think both sisters would enjoy it. Another one is the Bruce Willis flick "RED". It has an all-star cast and is largely ignored by reactors.
Yes! One of the best hands down action movies with heart so delivers on every front!
True Lies is really fun movie
When Isabel died, I cried so much. I still cry to this day at that scene.
I’ve lost count how many times I’ve seen this movie. I really cannot think of another like it. It’s very very good. Let’s go!!!
I like that there is a house in Red Dead Redemption 2 meant to be a large easter egg to this film, basically they copied much of the homestead from this film and re-created it in the game.
Just in case no-one has mentioned it yet, You and Carly should watch ‘Meet Joe Black’. I know you ladies enjoy a great romance and this is one of those films. It reunites Anthony Hopkins and Brad Pitt. I’m a guy and even I was wondering how a human being could be so handsome. 😉
Definitely agree that you girls should review "Interview With A Vampire." It is an emotional equivalent of this, but it goes through like a 200 year period.
JAMES HORNER MUSIC IS AMAZING.
I watched this movie when i was 20 and i still lived under my parents roof at the time, otherwise, i would have legally changed my name to Tristan. I'm 47 now...and i still will use Tristan as my name when i order something where they ask me for my name.
This movie was probably one of the top 5 impactful movies of my young life!
I'm straight as an arrow but God damn Brad Pitt is smoking hot in this movie!!! lol.
Yup, saw it when I was the same age. Movies like this can mold you.
13:00 you all don't even know what's about to come. One of the greatest movies ever made and shows complexity, love and horror of human nature.
Edit: 16:30 You all still don't even know how much more is to come.
26:30 You don't even know about the twists that are about to happen.
27:25....Yeah that would be crazy ;)
This was very interseting to watch and my first experience with this channel...Seeing the raw emotion to the deepness of this movie is refreshing
For a better context, America didn't declare war on Germany until late into the war in 1918. In 1914, Americans that wanted to fight either joined the Canadian military or sail to Europe to either join the British or French militaries.
Fine form indeed! One of my favorite movies. I never get tired of watching it every few years.
I haven’t stopped by the channel in a while, this movie probably killed these poor girls. Thumbs up for such a great movie and for both ladies
Filmed west of Calgary, Alberta and in Vancouver, British Columbia. Fun fact1: Some of the indoor scenes were filmed at a curling rink in Calgary. Fun fact2: O'Banion actually accidentally hit Tristan/Pitt in the temple with a weapon just after "Two" was shot on the road toward the end of the movie. You could see Pitt's actual wound on his temple when they were filming the lawn tennis scene (they shot the film out of order and needed to write an excuse into the script to explain it). Fun fact3: A Vancouver street was the setting for Helena, Montana. They took over one of the very old streets and redressed it to look like the early 1900s...
I love, love, love this film. Hi Carly 😊 Glad you’re back looking forward to watch your reaction to this one. I also recommend you watch Meet Joe Black. 😊
I feel really bad for Alfred, but Susannah was never his-Tristan couldn't have stolen her away from him-she never loved him, and he knew it.
Great Film from back when Hollyweird still knew how to make good films. The main reason it is so good is because it didn't have the happy ending, this is how life usually goes, we don't always get what we want.
If you girls loved the cinematography on this one, you should check out, "The Horse Whisperer".
This has become a guilty pleasure. I love when the both of you react to these movies. New sub and like
So glad you guys did this movie! You're doing some of my favorites across the board: LOTR, Braveheart, Last Samurai, True Detective, Silence of the Lambs... all so so good. Keep it up!
If you want more like this with Pitt, "A River Runs Through It" is similar, though less of a tear-jerker.
I absolutely LOVED this movie when I was in high school (20+ years ago).
I live in Montana in a place just like this. I seen this movie in theaters when I was 7. Always been one of my favs but yes very sad
One of my favorite movies. Glad you enjoyed it
one of my all time favorite movies.
I loved watching this movie with you guys! Thanks for an awesome reaction!! it was so good to experience this movie again with you. Love you!
