What’s the movie A River Runs Through It about?
Two boys, Norman (Craig Sheffer from Nightbreed) and Paul (Brad Pitt from Ocean's Eleven and Meet Joe Black), grow up in 1920s Missoula, Montana under the watchful eye of their father, a Presbyterian minister (Tom Skerritt from Up in Smoke). Their mornings are spent in school and religious study, while their afternoons are devoted to fly fishing in the nearby Blackfoot River. At home, however, the family's stoic emotions hint that trouble is to come. Norman goes to the east coast for college and lives there for six years, without returning home until then. In the meantime, Paul gets a job as a prolific journalist and makes a name for himself back home. The movie is about Norman's return home and his and Paul's summer together. As adults, Paul is a rebellious journalist and his brother, Norman, is a level-headed, grounded teacher. Norman matures and channels his rebellion through his writing while dating Jessie Burns (Emily Lloyd from Wish You Were Here and In Country), while his reckless brother Paul turns to gambling and liquor. The film chronicles their intertwining and often conflicting lives, focusing on Norman's point of view, as they grow up in the shadow of their minister father. A great deal of the film surrounds the men's love of fly fishing for trout in Montana's rivers, and their shared experiences through it while growing up.

"Either we do not know what part of ourselves to give, or more often than not, the part that we have to give is not wanted." Been there, done that.
“We can love completely without complete understanding”
What a statement…watching this movie as a kid, I didn’t really understand it but as an adult, it’s absolute human truth summed up in seven words.
YES!! ❤ 🕊
Amen brother. Yes
My brothers and I.. inseparable in our youth...this movie brings back emotion in waves until I can't hold back the tears..RIP Big brother🙏
Amazin how our emotions work. Glad you have memories
Rip ❤❤
I too lost my big bro. 3 days before Christmas. I remember the good times and how he was a man among men. I still cry everytime I was this movie
Just has another level of feeling real than most movies
That beautiful church is still there, in the oldest part of Missoula. That river still runs through it, over rocks as old as time.
This point in the film always makes me cry. Every single time. This is one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen. It covers so many themes perfectly: the bond of family; the deep solitude of loss; but most of all, I think it captures the valiant effort we make to be truly known by those we love, and to know them as well.
One of the most moving dramatic, humorous, timeless, love stories I’ve ever seen! The brothers loved and respected each other…..
It’s a timeless masterpiece about triumph and defeat. Heart wrenching tragedy.
Tom Skerritt walking hunched over is right out of the book. Every detail is perfect.
It should be illegal how good this movie is
Agree
@@joshuaforbus5853 the burns ran a general store in a one store town n still managed to do badly. Lollll I'm still laughing years later
Failed attempt😂
Judging by the trash hollywood releases nowadays , it is
Without bing understood.
There are very few movies I have a hard time watching simply because of the level of emotion they invoke. This is probably at the top of that short list.
Try 'The Joy Luck Club"
Very difficult for to watch
I cried a little. I never seen my dad so old before.
Just loved this film- it’s got everything, scenery, music,but mostly such love between two brothers.
I have movie hangover every time I see this film. How can I go back to regular life and sunshine after seeing this??? It takes me a while 😢
Love with complete understanding and unconditional.
"You know more than that, he was beautiful".
@mytravels8685
Dude was gorgeous.
@mytravels8685 That it didn't matter who he was in terms of his skills/accomplishments or lack thereof. He was a good son, brother, and friend-a beautiful part of the world no matter what. Over time, a river will carve its path through earth, and all you can really do is appreciate its beauty instead of trying to reroute it. The parents were just as broken-up about Paul's death as they would've been over Norm's death who turned into exactly as they planned. It seems in that moment, Norm defaults to focusing on what Paul did best, but his father quickly corrects him in acknowledging that what was lost with Paul's death was nothing less than something deeply beautiful in world-enough to be mourned for the rest of his days.
@@LoukevskyBeautiful synopsis!
This film will always hold a special place in my heart. I remember seeing it in the theater with my father.
Ah, the craftsmanship of those houses.
Love those old houses. I live in a 111 year old house. Builders took more care and pride in their work back then.
Watched it once…after it was released on VHS (remember those?) Definitely time to revisit.
Paul’s death taught me about the dangers of gambling addiction and it’s one of the reasons I’ve avoided it.
Draft kings
So I could tell my mother and father, that this movie wasn't Legends of the Fall with flyfishing....no matter how hard we tried.
So sad, I can and can't remember this as a kid
If I remember correctly, I've read that supposedly in the book Paul had one hand that was larger than the other, which is why he covers his whole face with it at one point in the movie in a subtle way. This also explains why their father asked which hand it was. It was his stronger hand that he fought to the death with trying to save himself. I'm not really sure why that makes the father that concerned or sad regarding which hand was broken. I guess it's maybe a token that Paul tried as hard as he could to live even in the midst of bad circumstances? But Paul also got himself into all of those circumstances willingly.
I've always wondered why that question was asked. I've considered the same.
@@mikeluke2457 Yeah, if I remember correctly, Paul's larger hand was...right one, I think? Biblically, the "right hand of God" is the figurative expression of where Christ sits. People who were blessed were oftentimes blessed via the "right hand" or on the "right" side of their father or whoever was blessing them. So I suspect that maybe the right hand was also...suspected to be more powerful and meaningful in that their father is also a minister and it has biblical connotations? I'm just speculating at this point. lol
Right hand = dominant hand = broke it fighting them.
Left hand = not dominant = broken while being beaten by them.
As great as this scene is, it’s so much better in the book. The last 3-4 pages of the book are perfect.
I thought it had everything to do with his casting hand
One of the greatest films of all time
I love this book and I loved this movie! It is one of my all time favorites. I've always wondered about something. When Norman tells his father that nearly all the bones in Paul's hand were broken and the father asks what hand and Norman replies with "his right hand", is the significance of this that Paul was a fighter and he did not go down without putting up a fight?
my teacher who read the book told me..the fact that Paul was amazing fisherman they broke his right hand that deeply bothered his father
@@wendybuie9263 Thanks so much for your reply. I'd never considered that perspective and it makes sense. I've always wondered about the significance of his broken right hand.
@@lockedloaded4942 when I watched the movie I ask my friend who is an English teacher it was the disrespect that they broke his fishing hand that hurt his father
@@wendybuie9263 Always good to have an English teacher as a friend!!
@@lockedloaded4942 very true I am always asking her stuff😂
What a fantastic movie...hope the next generation enjoys it
When I read the book, I hear Redfords’ voice everywhere. ’
This movie death always kills me...💔
Hi baddie
This movie hits home...
Mom went upstairs so she could have a breakdown privately. This is a family that doesn't show overt emotions.
I never fancied myself much of a reader, but I never enjoyed a book as much that typified American mythology as much as McLean's 'A River Runs Through It' - a true marvel of literature and Redford does it justice.
oh, now i have to watch the movie again. need to pay attention to the right hand.
"I am haunted by watters."
I always remember that quote.
Ricky Watters. A generational talent, but he just didn't have the heart. Me too.
Jesus. Could we have started 5 seconds before?
"...I rose and I asked no questions."
When the Father makes that fist …. ❤
Brilliant movie
That was a truly great film. That scene bothered me a lot.
Great movie
Tom Skerrit ( I could be wrong on the spelling) a great actor who never got the credit for his excellence.
Just a dam good movie......another good one....."Legends of the Fall".......the ending is Kool AF.....he goes out fighting a bear......
“Cool” after being suicidal and hurting his family so much
long back recalled
Chills
The most horrible thing in life is losing a child ,no matter how old was
Robert Redford's voice as narrator is memorable.
The only thing I have to say to people who saw his movie is, don’t move to Montana
Did you post other scene of this movie?
i think i have an uncle, 2 or 3 generations back, who gambled and died as a result. from what i remember, it wasn't because he owed money, but as a result of winning. the irony of this story is that this uncle was a blacksmith, and he was stabbed with a knife he made for the killer.
hahaha at first looking at the thumbnail I thought dude had horns.....
I always thought they shattered his hand for gambling but I think it was him fighting back
I can't remember whether the parents here were totally in the dark about Paul's dangerous gambling activities. I assumed, perhaps wrongly, that the gangsters who beat him to death crushed his right hand because he played the trumpet with that one, a brutal message for others not paying their debts.
What an Excellent Story, & of course the Movie Justifies it being So.
In my Recollection of First The Book? Then the Brief references in the Film 📽️👀 I took it that the Hand Tells,
Camera Focusing, at key Points? On say even Norman's at the Start. Then the Metredom Rhythm, of a Fly Rod, technic would Develop a Stronger 💪💪 Hand. Whether the Individual was Right Handed, or Left Handed.
The Conversation about Paul's
Death was the most Hard too deal with Episode, Norman & His Father.
Apparently ever had too Face with One Another. As the Father says Climbing the Stairs , away, from Norman. He was Bueatiful.
This movies true moral point is about a hypocrite preacher who wisecracks a whole lifetime every Sunday in church puts his nose in problems of everyone else in town. but is too ashamed and proud too adress the gambling addiction and debts of the son -to his son and family and others that could help so he swipes it under the rug like nothing is happening until the son is dead one day!
Movie about ignorance and the consequences if you’re too stuck up and proud in your White Castle to face the hard truth. If you’re like this you can’t help anyone all you can do is live with the consequences.
Hence the fitting title “a river runs through it” and washes everything with blissful ignorance between us so I can live peacefully in my own reality.
I never got this movie. Never read the book, didn’t understand what it was about other than fly fishing.
How so terribly sad for you.
There is a message…but I recommend that you read the Gospel message first .
Its simply is profound.
Given how the guy lives, an early violent death isn't really a surprise.
Entertaining movie, but historically inaccurate. Contrary to what the Brad Pitt character said in the movie, Paul did indeed leave Montana and go to Chicago, where he was found murdered in an alley.
You got to be some kind of a-hole to have someone break every bone in your hand.
There are implications to his death. His hand was broken, just the one: he may have been caught cheating. His body was dumped in a alley, in a State, at that time, had few alleys. They wanted the body found, or they didn't care enough to bother. Montana in the early1900s was a tough place. Look up D.C. Stephenson or Huey Long for an idea, or even The Red Harvest. Bad times.
Paul did go to Chicago and that is where he died.

When he said nearly every bone in his hands was broken and his father asked which hand ? And he said his right that was his casting hand and they knew if they didn't kill him he'd never be able to cast a fly rod again.
It can be interpreted many ways, fighting perhaps. Realistically, I felt he probably got caught cheating in cards.
Some People enjoy taking ones strenths abd character personally and intimatley. due to lack of professinally.
😉Absolutely Love this Movie 🎥 so much. 🤗❤️🩵💞 xoxox
