It's a beautiful bit of cinema. One of Brad Pitt's first major roles. Legends of the Fall is a must watch for anyone claiming they are a fan of film.
When I first saw the cover, as well as the blurb of this movie I was hesitant to watch it as it didn’t seem like the type of film I thought I would enjoy. But I was very wrong.
Almost instantly I was invested in the characters and the story that was being told, helped by the strong chemistry between all the characters involved, especially Brad Pitt and Henry Thomas. Not only is there good chemistry, this movie shows Pitt’s versatility and, is in my opinion, one of his best roles- fully embracing the character of Tristan and creating a well-rounded, three-dimensional character that can be easily sympathised with.
The only thing about this movie that I didn’t like was the excessive romance/ love triangle that was produced during the course of the film as, in contrast to the rest of the events, it seemed bland, despite it being the central ‘event changer’ of the film.
In my opinion, this movie was incredibly amazing and extremely emotional and something I hadn’t expected to like but did. Even if you don’t like dramas, historical or otherwise, give this one a try as I promise that you won’t be disappointed.
