Sullivan while at Dartmouth. Norman's departure for college was , yet Sullivan died in Quotes Rev. The producers would like to point out that, although the Macleans kept their catch as was common earlier in this century, enlightened fisherman today endorse a "catch and release" policy to assure that this priceless resource swims free to fight another day.
Good fishing. Ted Snyder Music Co. User reviews Review. Top review. This movie is very dear to my own Heart! Movies cannot get better than this! I have read the short story by Norman Maclean, and the movie did justice to Norman Maclean's writing. My husband tends to reread it occasionally, and I myself have read it over and scenes of the movie keeps coming to mind. Redford is part of the "famdamily" as he is always around. We never get tired of Redford's perception of Norman Maclean writings, and the beauty of Montana.
The script reminds me very much of my own upbringing as my father had the same calling as Mr. Maclean's father. 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! I have heard a movie critic state that the pace of this movie is too slow.
I disagree. The photography is outstanding! The acting is great. 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 Se7ven is the "perfect guy" who needs help with his alcoholism but will not accept it. 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.
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! 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 Emily Lloyd decides to go via the train line! Beautiful dialogue when Norman proposes to Jessie because he wants her to come to Chicago with him! Redford himself does a superb job as a narrator. Sign up Log in.

Two of the stories were later adapted into feature films. It is a story about Maclean and his brother, Paul, who was beaten to death with a gun butt in It is about not understanding what you love, about not being able to help. It is the truest story I ever read; it might be the best written. The story is noted for using detailed descriptions of fishing and nature to engage with a number of profound metaphysical questions.
At the end of the previous summer working at the camp , Maclean had made an arrangement to work the next summer with the camp's best logger, Jim Grierson. Working for the Forest Service in a very remote part of the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness in the Selway National Forest now Clearwater National Forest , Maclean had to extinguish wildfires, build trails with sledgehammer, chisel and dynamite , pack horses and mules, spend time alone on lookout duty at 7, feet 2, m Grave Peak, and string telephone wire.
A River Runs Through It and Other Stories was first published by the University of Chicago Press in May , and has since been published in several formats: as a collection of short stories, bearing a title starting with that of the novella, and as a standalone novella, usually as an art book with many photographs or with many illustrations such as woodcuts.
