Movie Reviews of Legends of the Fall (Deluxe Edition)Movie Review: Still An Excellent Film, 14 Yrs. After It Was First Released! Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw this film at the movies in the mid 90's when it first hit theatres.
Great story-telling, acting, direction and cinematography!
I said that then, and I still say it all these years later.
Sir Anthony Hopkins, Brad Pitt, Aidan Quinn, Julia Ormand, Henry Thomas,
and a stellar supporting cast all went above and beyond what they were hired
to do, and it worked brilliantly. The new deluxe version has good special
features and the digital remastering has made it even more vivid visually
and the sound is rich!--Perfect for my 40" HD 1080p Surround LCD TV.
If you don't already have it, this is definitely one to add to your collection.
Summary of Legends of the Fall (Deluxe Edition)1994 Oscar® winner: Best Cinematography. Based on the novella by Jim Harrison, this sweeping romantic epic is about the Ludlow brothers--two men (Brad Pitt, Aidan Quinn) in love with the same woman (Julia Ormond). Also starring Anthony Hopkins. Directed by Edward Zwick (The Siege). Screenplay by Susan Shilliday and Bill Wittliff. A box-office hit when released in 1994, this sprawling, frequently overwrought familial melodrama may get sillier as its plot progresses, but it's the kind of lusty, character-based epic that Hollywood should attempt more often. It's also an unabashedly flattering star vehicle for Brad Pitt as Tristan--the rebellious middle son of a fiercely independent Montana rancher and military veteran (Anthony Hopkins)--who is routinely at odds with his more responsible older brother, Alfred (Aidan Quinn), and younger brother, Samuel (Henry Thomas). From the battlefields of World War I to his adventures as an oceangoing sailor, Tristan's life is full of personal torment, especially when he returns to Montana and finds himself competing with Alfred over Samuel's beautiful widow (Julia Ormond), whose passion for Tristan disrupts the already turbulent Ludlow clan. Under the wide-open canopy of Big Sky country, this operatic tale unfolds with all the bloodlust, tragedy, and scenery-chewing performances you'd expect to find in a hokey bestselling novel (in fact, it's based on the acclaimed novella by Jim Harrison), but it's a potent mix that's highly entertaining. Not surprisingly, John Toll won an Academy Award for his breathtaking outdoor cinematography. --Jeff Shannon
