Not for nerds

If you don't like this movie, it probably means you think too much. Get your head out of those books, geek!

Utterly depressing and quite good

Featuring incredible acting, Legends of the Fall is probably the most depressing film I've ever seen. Now, I personally think there is a difference between a sad movie, and a depressing one. A sad film usually features a sad ending, a character getting killed in the end, etc. A depressing movie, really gets you from the beginning and at every turn, there is something else to feel morose about. This is that type of film. Its long and spans a good length of time, but its a great journey. Like I mentioned, the acting is wonderful, from every single person. Brad Pitt, Anthony Hopkins, Julia Ormand, Anthony Quinn, all fabulous in this. Each character gets their own story and each one just seems melancholy. The cinematography is gorgeous and the musical score is one of my favorites. It just adds to the already depressing mood. If you are in a good mood, watch this film and see how it affects you. I almost gave it 4 stars instead of 5, because its not really a perfect movie and a tad too long, but it achieves what it sets out to do so that is good enough for me, for this movie anyway.

A chick movie GUYS CAN WATCH

This movie was actually quite a suprise I dodged watching it for years untill just a few years ago. Maxim machine guns, WW1 , and the American Frontier pretty good stuff. Little Luvy Duby at points but the Helmets The Germans wore during the war make up for all that.

Irritant Tragedy (spoilers)

**Spoilers**

Ugh! Husband found this in the bargain bin at the supermarket and said,
"Oh! This is such a great movie!" He's pretty picky about movies, not
liking chick flicks and those of that ilk. So I thought, "Hey! Why not
watch it!" What tragedy. Some reviewers here complain that it's
unrealistic. No, it's realistic alright. The classic "Nice Guys Don't
Get Laid" by Marcus P. Meleton. The bad guy, the one who steals other
men's women, gets the slut who sleeps with every single brother, and
has the nerve to tell her future husband, "It was Samuel I loved."
Yeah, right.

And then, the prodigal son goes on to become a bootlegger, and I guess
most Brad Pitt fans and anti-establishment people are supposed to feel
sorry for him, because he put his wife and kids in jeopardy with his
illegal activities. This kind of selfishness happens in real life all
the time.

The oldest son, who truly cares about helping his community grow, and
who loves a woman so much, he's willing to take secondhand, nay
*third*hand goods, ends up marrying a woman who is such a weenie that
she'd kill herself for a man who doesn't even love her, in some kind of
pitiful Sylvia Plath-like angst.

Augh! All too realistic and demonstrative of the melodrama of people
with certain psychiatric disorders.

3 stars out of 5, rather than zero, because although it was irritating as
heck, it is a true tragedy that I see time and time again in real life.
