Superb Epic Melodrama - Legends of the Fall review by GI
An epic melodrama and if you're a fan of the TV series Yellowstone and in particular it's prequel 1923 you will not only see how this film has narratively been an influence there but you'll find this a great entertainment. It's a story of an American family in the early twentieth century led by the patriarch father William Ludlow (Anthony Hopkins) who live on a vast ranch in the wilds of Montana. The main story is about the lives of his three sons, Alfred (Aidan Quinn), Tristan (Brad Pitt) and Samuel (Henry Thomas). These three are bonded together but are uniquely different characters and when the youngest Samuel brings his fiancée, Susannah (Julia Ormond) into their home the emotions of the three surrounding her become a source of potential conflict. But it's the First World War which intervenes into the family life as all three enlist and head off the fight in France. Their experiences there define the future of the family, their loves and lives leading to violence, tragedy and family conflict. Ultimately this is an historical romance with the spice of nature to drive the passion. It's a highly entertaining film and one that it's worth rediscovering.
