But the oatmeal stayed on the plate! That scene where the two love birds and their tattoos on their posteriors! That is funny! The sunburn! The drive back home where Jessie Burns decides to go via the train line! Beautiful dialogue when Norman proposes to Jessie because he wants her to come to Chicago with him! The scene where Paul refuses to eat oatmeal and the entire family has to wait an eternity to say grace! Finally after hours, they all kneel around the table to say: "Grace!" and they all leave. The same applies to Neal Burns, who uses worms as bait, he also needed help but would not accept the fact that he needed help. I love the scene where Norman and Paul as boys talked and wondered whether one could be a fly fisher or a boxer! Then as adult Paul played by Brad Pitt is the "perfect guy" who needs help with his alcoholism but will not accept it.
The photography is outstanding! The acting is great. As one search for inner peace, this is the type of movie that will make you contemplate the beauty of nature in three/four rhythm of the metronome. I have heard a movie critic state that the pace of this movie is too slow. According to "A River Runs Through It," "Methodists are Baptists who can read," a line which by the way is not in the short story, but I think that is a funny line! My husband and I are well-read Baptists! The script reminds me very much of my own upbringing as my father had the same calling as Mr.
We never get tired of Redford's perception of Norman Maclean writings, and the beauty of Montana. Redford is part of the "famdamily" as he is always around. We have videos of many of Redford ‘s movies and we have watched "A River runs through it" many times. My husband tends to reread it occasionally, and I myself have read it over and scenes of the movie keeps coming to mind. I have read the short story by Norman Maclean, and the movie did justice to Norman Maclean's writing.
