"My brother stood before us, not on a bank of the big Blackfoot River, but suspended above the earth, free from all its laws, like a work of art. And I knew, just as surely and clearly, that life is not a work of art, and that the moment could not last." What a wonderful piece of writing.
Around 1993 I watched this film for the first time. Since then I have watched it some five more times. The last one on TV three days ago. On all of them tears flooded my eyes in this final scene with the line “and some of the words are theirs” (“y algunas de las palabras son las de ellos”). Beautiful, beautiful words… My youth was somewhat similar to that depicted in the film. My father, my brother and me used to go fishing together almost every weekend just as my father in his turn used to do with my grandfather and an uncle of mine. The three of us lived fantastic fishing moments which left happy memories in our minds and hearts. Plenty of anecdotes that I liked to recall with my elderly father in his last years of life. He passed away some years ago. Therefore my brother is now the only person to share those memories with. Dad created a strong emotional bond between us through fishing and contact con nature. In the non- fully developed Spain of those years the rivers and lakes were still pristine and their waters were gin clear. Catch and release was not a common practice at the time and the catch was kept for the table or given away to relatives and friends. As life went by my brother got married and we weren´t as close to one another as before. And this is where the line “At that moment I knew surely and clearly that I was witnessing perfection” is so poignant to me. The three of us fishing together was about to be a thing of the past. After a successful major lung surgery my father´s shape dropped dramatically and he gave up fishing . But when I came back from my trips to the river an additional joy was to meet my father and phone my brother to have a pleasant talk on the matter: how many and how big the fish were, what the lure was, what area of the river the fish had been caught on… Several times Dad would say to me “Antonio really, you don´t need to buy any more lures and fishing gear. You have tons of it!. Take over mine since I am not fishing any more”. I never did that. After his death I have kept intact his rod, reel, outdated lures…just as I still keep unused his watch, pen… I occasionally go fishing with my brother and then we recall lots of happy anecdotes and almost always we bring back the memory of our late father. But lately on most of my trips I go alone to the waters. On the rare places that still are pristine today in the area where I live the smell of the clean river and vegetation take me back to those times. Also those times when every now and then my Mom and sister came along and share a good country meal… and the acquaintances that every now and then we ran into at the river bank… Perhaps this is my favourite movie. Definitely the most moving. A masterpice that get straight to your heart and feelings. On those moments of solitude by the rivers and lakes you recall your love ones that were gone and with whom you spent a happy day in that same place. You feel as though they are watching you from heaven giving you their comfort. My parents gave us a lot of love and that love remains in our hearts. My father was my best friend and I miss him so much.
Thanks for sharing this great story of your life I too enjoy fishing but I am not an accomplished fishermen by any means I truly love being out in nature by a river, lake or stream
@@BladeR2049 Thanks to you JD. Your comment makes me so happy. I had the priviledge of having a father like mine who provided one the most joyful childhood and adolescence you can get. He, my brother and me share fantastic fishing adventures. It is amazing how the author of "A River runs through It", an anglosaxon person, could express so accurately my feelings, I being a Spaniard. It was as if he had read my heart and know my life. Those same feelings that the other people writing comments here feel, I am sure. After watching this film in January for the fifth or sixth time I wanted to share the tears and emotions with other human beings. On April 5 the film could be watched again on a Spanish tv channel. English is not my mother language but I would dare say that the Spanish dubbed version broadcast had not barely lost a bit of the original poetry and power in English. Some of the lines are just ... unbeatable.
I've always thought this film should be required viewing for anyone who wants to be a better human being. Everything about life, love, and inevitable change in 2 hours of exquisite filmmaking.
I’m a southern California boy that was stationed at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana at the time. Loved it because we were always fishing on the Sun River and the Missouri River. It’s just a beautiful place
There’s really no other performance in film like Brad Pitt’s in this film. He shines in a way that’s almost inspiring. Maybe it’s his personality in real life that comes through in the character, but either way, it’s stunning and works so well for the movie. One of his best roles.
arguably the greatest film ever made. between the cinematography, the performances, the score, and Redford's narration of some of most beautiful segments of writing ever produced, even down to the smallest of details, such as in the clip above when Tom Skerritt says "...mother's pictures." This movie is a work of art on the highest level, especially because the older i get, the more it resonates with me, the more i absorb its complexities and the more it touches me. It's just a stunning film.
@@johnpaulryan738 same. Watched my little brother pitch 2 innings of a little league all star game in 9 pitches each. 6 strike outs straight to finish off the game, then lead an academic gifted/talented team to state the same year. He was our brightest candle.
Wonderous scene, beautifully acted, written and filmed. It’s a scene that took my breath away and I always think of it when someone mentions fishing. Thank you cast and director for making me believe that all my film watching hasn’t been wasted. God Bless🙏🌹❤️🇨🇦
A perfect encapsulation of what life generally is. A handful of the most beautiful or memorable moments of your life surrounded by the running moments of your life, which are not necessarily forgettable, but simply where all flows into one.
writing a theology paper on this movie and its relation to human freedom.. couldn't be more satisfied with my assignment. This is such a great movie, never before have I had such a great change in my understanding of character and life.
This movie hits home for me in a big way. This scene especially hits home for me, specifically about my brother and I fly fishing, and knowing how the epic moments are just that. Moments. Nothing lasts forever. Change will come sure as the night. Fortunately, the morning will be coming too.
😎i was home from work in bed with strep throat when I first saw this movie. & When that fish came up the first time I could hardly believe it. My cat even sat up and watched‼️👍🏼🤓
this was a GREAT movie - been way too long since I last watched it - much much much better than some of Pitts' more recent work - but over all -- taking all his films into consideration, he has a great body of work
When I was younger and I found my great uncles pld fly fishing and fly tying stuff(he lived around this time) I imideitally started fly fishing. Then my stepdad showed me this movie and I fell in love more it really is a great movie
I had family members like Pitt's character, they lived for the moment, my one older bro started drinking alcohol when he was 12 years old, all of his life was one mess after another.
I didn't wish to know anything private or something that would make you feel vulnerable. I just wished to hear something that made someone truly happy, genuine happiness is something rare. It's something that could happen to you that you tell your great grandchildren about and even they would be able to appreciate it, and appreciate you for sharing it with them. I have never came across a message like that.You could message me.If this still has not changed your mind, then I wish you the best.
I saw this movie when it came out, and I must have watched it 6 or 8 times over the years. It prompted me to read the book, but Redford turned it into a masterpiece. I think it encompasses the sum of all life: learning, caring, living in the moment, and ultimately coming to understand that it all ends eventually.
This movie spawned a lot of folks wanting to fly fish 🎣 I rode motorcycles ~9k miles with a buddy of mine who was 🪝d by this movie we traced the Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance trip out to Montana from Madison WI must have been about 1994 to go see the Yellowstone, Madison, and Gallatin rivers my buddy spent more time unreeling and reeling his fly rod then actually fishing but I was along for the beautiful countryside and the adventure of it all 😎🫵🏼
Everyone in the comments is saying what a great movie it is. And it is, it’s one of my favorites. But the book is so much better! If you like the movie, you should read the book. You’ll love it
@@aaronnelson1099 and you would get no qualms from me in your line of thinking. there are quite a few in this one that you could rate in the same way. a touching film and piece of writing.
My dad loved this movie And I watched enough I loved it and remembered the times fishing with my dad and little brother We didn't catch like that but caught better memories Miss and love you both until we fish together again
I watched this film as a child and it had a massive effect on me. Now I'm 32 and it still has that same effect. No special effects, no social media, just a poignant and relatable story depicted by fantastic acting.
Cool, I've been bait fishing since I can remember. But after my teacher showed us this video, fly fishing has caught my attention. I've ordered a redington crosswater, someting inepensive to test the waters. I hope I enjoy it. BTW I would have no problem jumping in the river and going for a swim to get a fish!
This could have been about me, my brothers and our father. The movie has a special place for me. I was the wild one. Dad and I made our peace before he passed. I also straightened out mostly, almost respectable citizen. Now, happy, no, joyous with life, have a good wife, a good retirement and a good dog.
A great movie indeed! And a great scene. I did not realize until recently that the movie, "The Ranger The Cook and a Hole in the Sky" were both Norman MacLean stories. Both are very good.
The quote that starts around 3:03 gets me every time. Whether I’m fly-fishing or using bait I forget all of my problems when I’m catching a fish. Suspended above the earth free from all its laws.
Those who love this movie, ought to read the book! A River Runs Through It is a true story taken from the book written by Norman MacLean about his youth in a small town in Montana in the 1920's where he lived with his father, mother and extraverted younger brother. Let's give credit to author Mr. MacLean for the words that made the movie and producer Robert Redford for recognizing its great potential!
You my friend are a fake.....if you knew anything about fly fishing you would not call them dragonflies as that in not the they are, for shame, for shame on you!!!!
I went with a 6 weight to start out with. I heard it was a good beginners weight. I'm going out on a trip this monday to Virginia to fly fish for the first time! Hopefully I'll catch a nice fish for dinner.
Great scene from a fine movie. I'm in NJ fishing the surf with my two fly rods back in Arizona. After watching this I wish I'd packed them along. But regardless, I'm lucky to be fishing at all. The day I'm too weak or frail or too sick to fish is the day I hope I fall over dead.
If you have kids or grandkids - the day you are too old or too frail to TEACH or TELL them about fishing it the day you SHOULD hope to fall over - as long as we can SHARE our knowledge we should want to carry on - there will come a day (sadly sooner rather than later) when fishing will be a thing of the past - we are losing our great rivers and have already lost too many of our smaller better trout streams
+Jim Beattie Do what I plan to do when I get my next rod and reel. Find a youngster that looks a little lost or frustrated, give him a rod and reel(mine are pretty good so he'll actually be able to feel the bottom and bites), along with some of the basic essential lures, and teach him what you can in that short amount of time you're fishing. Only way I feel like i'm going to be able to pass down my knowledge, and maybe get a kid hooked on fishing cuz let's face it, watching a bobber or getting skunked isn't a good way to introduce a kid to fishing.
You know, Eric Clapton is a huge trout fisherman. Clapton stated he got into recovery because he went fly fishing and fell into the water because he was too drunk. Fly fishing was something pure to him.
This film was based on the novella. I suggest you all read it...MacLean's mastery of the English language is stirring, amazing, and take the reader deeper into the characters lives than the film.
"My brother stood before us, not on a bank of the big Blackfoot River, but suspended above the earth, free from all its laws, like a work of art. And I knew, just as surely and clearly, that life is not a work of art, and that the moment could not last." What a wonderful piece of writing.
A superb piece of writing, indeed...
There are so many gems in this beautiful film. I also like "All good things... come by grace; and grace comes by art; and art does not come easy."
This was the only part not taken word by word from the original book. All else was!
My favorite movie streamed down to one moment, love it.
Just as I felt when I killed my first Prairie Chicken with a Falcon………

Very profound words, Paul - I agree with you...
Sounds like something I would never want to watch
Saw this for the first time at the age of 7....it blew my mind...and I’m still fly fishing almost 30 years later 🤙
I’m a southern California boy that was stationed at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana at the time. Loved it because we were always fishing on the Sun River and the Missouri River. It’s just a beautiful place
Oh how your life runs through it
🤙
Always wanted to try that! Raised in Oregon angling but never tried flies
@terrypeckham4744 it's an amazing challenge ❤

IMO, one of the best films ever made...
I'm a 67-year-old man. I shouldn't tear up after seeing this movie for the 100th time, but here I am.
I completely understand. It’s a beautiful, beautiful movie.
You're not alone
This scene is like a metaphor for life! I love this movie.
arguably the greatest film ever made. between the cinematography, the performances, the score, and Redford's narration of some of most beautiful segments of writing ever produced, even down to the smallest of details, such as in the clip above when Tom Skerritt says "...mother's pictures."

Agreed, 100%
lost my little brother last year, he was special in ways I can't describe and I'll never get over it
I lost my little brother last year. Tomorrow ( 26/9 2024) is his first anniversary , he was the best of us.
@@johnpaulryan738 same. Watched my little brother pitch 2 innings of a little league all star game in 9 pitches each. 6 strike outs straight to finish off the game, then lead an academic gifted/talented team to state the same year. He was our brightest candle.
I believe this scene is the finest three minutes of any movie ever made well done Mr. Redford
totally agree....people ask what my favorite movie is...I can only think of this scene. One of the best in film history.
Wonderous scene, beautifully acted, written and filmed. It’s a scene that took my breath away and I always think of it when someone mentions fishing. Thank you cast and director for making me believe that all my film watching hasn’t been wasted. God Bless🙏🌹❤️🇨🇦
"And I knew just as surely, and just as clearly, that life is not a work of art... and that the moment could not last.."
A perfect encapsulation of what life generally is. A handful of the most beautiful or memorable moments of your life surrounded by the running moments of your life, which are not necessarily forgettable, but simply where all flows into one.
It doesn't need to be known to many people. No need to even praise. Our emotions are always only in the river. Brad is great. He reaffirmed me.
writing a theology paper on this movie and its relation to human freedom.. couldn't be more satisfied with my assignment. This is such a great movie, never before have I had such a great change in my understanding of character and life.
This gets me every time....Thanks for posting.
I met Tom Skerrett, briefly, once on the set of “Touched By An Angel” he was very polite and friendly. I enjoyed his character portrayal in this film.
This movie hits home for me in a big way.
This scene especially hits home for me, specifically about my brother and I fly fishing, and knowing how the epic moments are just that. Moments. Nothing lasts forever. Change will come sure as the night. Fortunately, the morning will be coming too.
This is indeed one of the best movie scenes from just about any movie. The narration is more valid in more ways than one...
This is what you call intentional living.
right???
“I went to the woods to live deliberately…” ~Henry David Thoreau
😎i was home from work in bed with strep throat when I first saw this movie. & When that fish came up the first time I could hardly believe it. My cat even sat up and watched‼️👍🏼🤓
One of the best movies Ive ever seen, but sad too. It's life at its rawest!!
Beautiful movie. Takes me back to my childhood, summers spent hiking, fishing and rafting on a river in Oregon.
A fine film ....touched me, even now brings a tear to my eye.
Life, love and loss
So many scenes from this movie sink deep within my soul. This is one of them.
I first watched this movie in 2008.......And still I'm in love with it!
The best movie made about the complex American spirit... expressed through the beautiful American language. A fantastic movie.
One of the most beautiful movies I’ve ever seen. We saw the river featured in the movie on one of our RV trips and it made me cry.
this was a GREAT movie - been way too long since I last watched it - much much much better than some of Pitts' more recent work - but over all -- taking all his films into consideration, he has a great body of work
Redford's voiceovers are sublime in this film
Chills at 1:14 - can you imagine the rush?
Man what a scene.
this movie is the whole reason i actually took up fly fishing.
You and a few million other people! :) Me included.
When I was younger and I found my great uncles pld fly fishing and fly tying stuff(he lived around this time) I imideitally started fly fishing. Then my stepdad showed me this movie and I fell in love more it really is a great movie
This movie is the reason I visted Montana 25 years ago. It's a beautiful state!
me to..and the whole world
This movie forever changed my life!! I live fly fishing now 🎣
The pride on the father's face, that is ultimately the best part of the scene.
I had family members like Pitt's character, they lived for the moment, my one older bro started drinking alcohol when he was 12 years old, all of his life was one mess after another.

I think it encompasses the sum of all life: learning, caring, living in the moment, and ultimately coming to understand that it all ends eventually.
One of my favorite movies of all time
My granddad knew Norman, they were neighbors at one point.
:)) i too watched it on HBO and really really loved it..especially the narration style,diction and yes "pace" of the movie.absolute calm.

@@bmmacdonaldLazy mindset. I'm with you though.
Beautifully photographed. To live the moment, all action, without words, i bet the book was beautiful too. Bravo to the stuntman🎉 and the stunt fish😅😊
great movie! really lots of lessons to be learned in this one.

This is always been a great movie to watch. ☘️🇺🇸
Cool, I've been bait fishing since I can remember. But after my teacher showed us this video, fly fishing has caught my attention. I've ordered a redington crosswater, someting inepensive to test the waters. I hope I enjoy it.
BTW I would have no problem jumping in the river and going for a swim to get a fish!

When people ask why I flyfish, this scene is the answer! I've gone swimming for fish!
Through this movie I came to fly fishing ...❤ greetings from Portugal
this is my father and my favorite film
I love this movie so much
Love this scene!
I long for the old"Bill Dance"Sunday fishing show.
A great movie indeed! And a great scene. I did not realize until recently that the movie, "The Ranger The Cook and a Hole in the Sky" were both Norman MacLean stories. Both are very good.
This movie was truely a work of art. Best scene in the move, but it also preludes the saddest.
One of my favorite movies of all time.
i love this film so much , the music , the actor and the story ...
Oh for heaven's sake, that 1 lb trout is running like a silver bright fresh wild steelhead!

The quote that starts around 3:03 gets me every time. Whether I’m fly-fishing or using bait I forget all of my problems when I’m catching a fish. Suspended above the earth free from all its laws.
2024! This movie still hits.
One of my very favorites 🫶🏻
Wow what a catch 🌹
If there is one movie I want to watch for years now, but cannot find, it is this one. So, anyone…?
It's really something the sheer number of excellent films that Pitt has appeared in.
Incredible performances by All ❤
A beautifully scored, acted and directed movie.
So beautiful. A great film!
The warm eyes of the father and brother who see the youngest 😭

Back on those happy days with out the fear of losing your cell phone in the river or get it wet...
great artists come in all forms.
This movie is on PBS right now hehe
They loved him so much 😢
i like that reel buzz sound :)
We live in Paradise, you just have to slow down and look at it.
La mejor pelicula que vi !!!
2:30 The fish looks like a stealhead trout
I make my own flies. My dragonflies are irresistible to fish. I buy the wings at the hobby shop.
You my friend are a fake.....if you knew anything about fly fishing you would not call them dragonflies as that in not the they are, for shame, for shame on you!!!!
Idiot
I went with a 6 weight to start out with. I heard it was a good beginners weight. I'm going out on a trip this monday to Virginia to fly fish for the first time! Hopefully I'll catch a nice fish for dinner.
This film makes me to learn fly fishing.
his smartphone's gonna be broken, for sure.
This makes me want to get rid of my smartphone...
I laughed hard
Beautiful....
fishing nerds will point out he's holding 2 different fishes 😎
It’s a great movie but using a dry fly with that current good like rookie lol , need weight use wolley bugger
Great scene from a fine movie. I'm in NJ fishing the surf with my two fly rods back in Arizona. After watching this I wish I'd packed them along. But regardless, I'm lucky to be fishing at all. The day I'm too weak or frail or too sick to fish is the day I hope I fall over dead.
Well put man...
If you have kids or grandkids - the day you are too old or too frail to TEACH or TELL them about fishing it the day you SHOULD hope to fall over - as long as we can SHARE our knowledge we should want to carry on - there will come a day (sadly sooner rather than later) when fishing will be a thing of the past - we are losing our great rivers and have already lost too many of our smaller better trout streams
I know,too many rivers and stream lost. I have no grandkids so I will drop dead with all of my fishing knowledge
+Jim Beattie Do what I plan to do when I get my next rod and reel. Find a youngster that looks a little lost or frustrated, give him a rod and reel(mine are pretty good so he'll actually be able to feel the bottom and bites), along with some of the basic essential lures, and teach him what you can in that short amount of time you're fishing.

That's a really fine idea, Tikmohn. I live in a town now with very few youngsters, but maybe I can find one. Thanks so much for this suggestion.
a wonderful movie! said a lot
Reminds me of me n my brother fishing when we were kids
Beautiful
My best friend
This movie has more heart, and tugs at ours.
Ah hates to say it but this scene with Pitt reeled me in & ah will rents the movie.
