Legends of the fall is now probably known for bringing Brad Pitt into the mainstream but it is a grand sweeping epic with great performances, a touching story and some stunning natural visuals. Edward Zwick is his usual self and the vast panoramic sceneries have become his playground. This is a good early 90s family film that will transport you back to innocent days.

I am born in 85, so all the great movies, all the big old names, all amazing and spectacular and Titanic which was my best film ever and remained for so many years, just dropped to second place because of the Legends of the Fall. I cannot believe nobody told me ever about this movie, why???
Such a shame is rated only 7.5/10, it should be 15 out of 10

Short and Simple Review by WubsTheFadgerLegends of the Fall depicts a somber and sorrowful story of loss and a broken family. It deals with the loss of a son, a brother, and a husband. It has some extremely touching and powerful moments. The characters are all unique and have different strengths and weaknesses that further the story. The story is graphic and the ending is heartfelt and genuine. The ending truly made the movie because turns from heartfelt to somber in a matter of moments. The end credits music really helps the movie set in and makes you think about the bond of family.The acting is very good. Anthony Hopkins and Brad Pitt both deliver powerhouse performances. They both convey so much emotion and Brad Pitt really surprised me with this performance. Aidan Quinn, Julia Ormond, Henry Thomas, Karina Lombard, Tantoo Cardinal, and Gordon Tootoosis all perform very well.The pacing is very slow and the runtime is overly long.Pros: Emotional and sorrowful story, great ending, good acting, amazing performances by Anthony Hopkins and Brad Pitt, good cinematography, and a good use of musicCons: Very slow pacing, an overly long runtime, and the film could have been edited down by a lotOverall Rating: 8.1

I've watched a lot of movies; however, I can't but place this movie on the top! Brad Pitt acting was awesome, he played his role and convinced me that I'm not watching a movie, but rather scenes captured from real life. Julia Ormond made me sympathise with her and she even made me cry. Hopkins is a great actor; he played the role of a father who adores his brave little spoiled son although that little son is not descent as his elder brothers are! His a strong father who defended his sons and fought for them. Brad Pitt risks his life in order to protect his younger brother who went to the war but he was not a professional soldier when it comes to using the gun. Being killed in the war, Brad Pitt gets his brother's widow married but they did not have any child, so they get divorced and Julia Ormond gets married with Brad's eldest brother; nevertheless, she remains in love with Brad and she could not get him out of her mind, so she committed suicide. Brad gets married with daughter of the Native American family and they had kids. Finally, a big bear attacks Brad but he couldn't kill it as he had done at the beginning of the movie and the bear kills him.
