LEGENDS OF THE FALL (1994) Movie Reaction! | First Time Watch! | Brad Pitt | Anthony Hopkins

[@JesseVin11]

So many brilliant performances, but jesus I always get chills when Colonlel Ludlow shouts at Alfred. Anthony Hopkins man he's such a special talent.

[@blueeyedcowboy8291]

When you said two guys watching Legends of the Fall, I thought, "Oh they have no idea what they are in for". Great story, great acting, breathtakingly beautiful musical score, setting and cinematography. One of Sir Anthony Hopkins best roles. Most people that watch it, love it.

[@LlamaLlamaMamaJamaac]

The Watch Mojo channel became dead to me when they made their Top 10 James Horner scores-I’m 99% sure it was this one they left out. Not even an honorable mention. (Side note, they urinated on their own grave when they left Black Hawk Down off of the Hans Zimmer top 10… that score is stunning too) But anyway yeah this score is BEAUTIFUL.

[@lockekappa500]

I always find it funny that most guys think this is a romance film because of the cover and Brad Pitt, when it's honestly one of the strongest love letters to masculinity, brothers and men's health. Back when not a lot of movies addressed these subjects.

[@reconsoldier135]

Not nearly enough people have seen this movie, an all time classic I still get chills watching Brad Pitt screaming “NOOOOOOO!!!!!” when he’s trying to save Samuel

[@nicholasholloway8743]

Well stated. Just like the movie A River Runs Through It, another underrated and obscure Pitt film

[@johndrews206]

I get chills when Pitt comes back with the scalps

[@candyshop84106]

@@reconsoldier135 I agree great movie... Very much a Chick Flick.. Ive watched it with Wife.. But sitting down with another dude, wouldnt be Considered. .heh. .. Not that therr is anything wrong with that...😎😁

[@twittertwice]

I am very old and saw this film when it opened years and years ago, and it was a huge, huge hit ! so the people who haven’t seen it are young people… because this became a classic

[@LC-fx2lo]

The scene when Tristan comes back home and sees his a Father for the first time after his stroke and he writes, “Am happy,” on the chalkboard destroyed me 😢❤

[@stevenhenry9605]

I saw this movie way too young. Coming back to it as an adult, I realize it's all about the lingering nature of trauma and post traumatic stress. The Colonel, Tristan, and Susannah all wrestle with their grief, trauma, and loss, and are ultimately destroyed by the past.

[@MegaToronto1]

This was shot in Alberta, Canada. All the Natives actors are Canadian, including the main couple Tantoo Cardinal & Gordon Tootoosis, who was also the Narrator.

[@tacobellalugosi2527]

This NOT a girl film all my dude friends including myself love this film there is. Love story but even us guys like a good love story

I know everyone loves Brad but Anthony Hopkins made this movie. I love how they presented post Civil War US and transition from colonial to early 20th century. I love his character, great movie and reaction

[@cog4life]

Idk WHY more people don’t react to this phenomenal movie!! 😊

Legends of the fall isn't a female-centric nor a male-centric film. It's a human film. It appeals to all sexes and all ages, since it takes place over multiple generations.

Just like the way it should be. We all should live true equality and not fall into media hysteria.

[@TylerD288]

It's a romance novel come-to-life, very well produced and acted, but in the end just a melodramatic romance novel.

[@cathleenwarner1778]

Felt bad for Alfred, but he knew all along that Susannah was never in love with him

[@novaclan8542]

@@cathleenwarner1778 I think he just wanted the best for her tbh after Samuel died

[@joellenglass2344]

Poor Alfred. He got the girl but lost her anyway because she was always sprung on Tristan from the moment she met him. Tristan was never in love with Susannah and she knew that but tried to force it because she thought the awesome sex was enough for her to keep him, knowing that he was already destined to be with Isabel 2. Her and Tristan lived in 2 different worlds and Isabel 2 understood and knew him more than most, although she was younger, which is why he waited to be with her. Susannah was never in love with Samuel either. I just think she needed something to do. 🤦🏾‍♀️ She got a piece of all 3 brothers, except for Samuel in a sexual sense because he died. Tristan was deeply disconnected after Samuel was killed and Isabel 2 was the only one who could bring him back. If I were Susannah I would have taken my ass back home after Samuel died.

[@thaistomp]

@@joellenglass2344 Awesome sex is not enough to keep a wild man like Tristan. Poor Susannah.

[@itzbp9949]

This is a masterpiece of a movie but it is absolutely heartbreaking to watch

[@LlamaLlamaMamaJamaac]

Can we talk about Sir Anthony Hopkins’ performance?? Post stroke he acts essentially without words - only with his facial expressions and body…. WHILE KEEPING HALF OF HIS FACE FLAT AND IMMOBILE because he’s had a stroke. AMAZING performance!!

[@NicMarie2015]

This movie still is and was epic when it came out. Also, 90's long haired Brad Pitt was just perfect, too beautiful.

[@lucianopavarotti2843]

Anthony Hopkins is great in this: authority and tragedy

[@larrythomas7452]

One thing I believe folks don't consider is Susanna is and has been grieving since her parents died. She tried REAL hard to be happy and follow the expectations.

[@kevinmatthew1050]

One of the most underrated movies ever! Top notch acting!

[@cog4life]

This movie has all of the different elements that make up a great movie; Love, hate, peace, war, loyalty, deceit, exceeding joy, unimaginable pain, life, death, wealth, poverty, condemnation & redemption. Very complex. Enjoying watching you watch. 😊

[@jesterforhire]

Agreed! So powerful.

[@CinePals]

I'm only just now seeing this! Thanks so much! The turn out on this video wasn't high, so your super is very meaningful! Thank you!

[@jesterforhire]

@@CinePals , it’s probably in my top five films of all time.

[@indiepunkftw]

The scene where Susanna is talking to Tristan in the jail absolutely breaks me. He's in the throes of grief, she's longing after the life she could've lived with him. They're both in love with each other but can't be together. She can't even finish her sentences because looking at him is too painful and he's trying to be present and casual but his heart is shattered. The complexity of the relationship dynamics is so human, I weep every time I see it.

[@indiepunkftw]

Makes so much sense that Brad's character is named "Tristan". It's a beautiful name but the root meaning of the name is "sadness".

[@TylerD288]

The characters are very immature.

[@cog4life]

FYI….This is NOT a chick flick. At all.

[@charlessmith9753]

Yes it is

[@melissacreel4719]

As a chick, yes it is.

[@agentsculder2451]

It isn't, but when it came out it was heavily marketed to women because Brad Pitt was in it. A lot of women got a BIG surprise it was not the romance they thought it would be.

[@agentsculder2451]

That's how the studios saw it at the time.

[@Suremane]

Its melodrama so yeah its a chick flick

[@ulricaandrae4381]

I read this book in high school and it kind of haunted me since. Mad beautiful and utterly heartbreaking. The performance from Julia Ormond is so good. I feel her despair and defeat when realizing Tristan never loved her or will, like he loved Isabel. Alfred, like you said is so in love with her and wants to make her happy, no matter what have happened before. There's a section in the book that describes the moment when Tristan carries his dead wife that stuck in my head: "he carried her body howling occasionally in a language not known on earth". That's all you need to know about his love for her.

[@LlamaLlamaMamaJamaac]

It was a book??? Gotta find it now ETA it’s on Audible yay… you unintentionally made my day!!

[@ulricaandrae4381]

@@LlamaLlamaMamaJamaac Glad to hear it!

[@debbiethompson3460]

I love this movie so much! Just as an FYI-the bear is Bart, he's been in a number of films. His trainer is Doug Seus. At the end of the movie, that's Doug playing Tristan. Doug and Bart were actually playing...which looks like he's getting attacked. But, that's what they would do. If you've ever seen Doug, he's a big guy and looks like a mountain man. I've seen some documentaries about him and they had a great relationship. After Bart died, they had Bart 2. But, I do believe that was the original one in Legends of the Fall.

[@ERC641]

You need to have these two together reacting to more flicks 👍👍 up

[@theoneandonlyoni]

2 Dudes watching LOTF is fully okay, it’s a very masculine film.. You’d be mistaken if you think this is a “Chick Flick”...

[@Cerise243]

the only reason this could ever be considered a CHICK FLICK is because of how great BRAD PITT looks in the movie Other then that ...this is a dude's movie

[@TylerD288]

😂

[@travismorris9303]

"He wanted to lose the madness over the mountains, he said." This might be my favorite all time movie. An epic story with a little bit of everything. This should have won multiple Oscars, the acting is incredible.

My favorite Julia Ormond role came a few years later in the remake of the classic "Sabrina" with Harrison Ford and Greg Kinnear. Love it! Bring the ladies in for that one!

[@leav4g]

I must have been asking for it because I watched LOTF, A River Runs Through and Seven Years in Tibet in one weekend for Brad Pitt. Loved all three❤❤

[@nicholasholloway8743]

Glad someone else knows about A River Runs Through IT. It's not well known and I do believe I've never seen a reaction to it on yt yet

[@joeurata9579]

In Legends of the Fall, Susanna is played by Julia Ormond, In Meet Joe Black Susan is played by Claire Forlani.

[@sarabearmcd9456]

James Horner's music in this movie is exquisite! The first time I saw this was on the couch with my grandmom with a box of tissues between us. So much tragedy in one family.

[@Bringmethehorizondude]

When I was a kid, my mom was always watching this and because so much happens and there’s so many settings, I could’ve swore this was a full TV series. It wasn’t until I watched this on my own that I realized this just an epic film.

[@YogarAdon]

I remember watching this movie for the first time last year, it was an in-flight movie. As soon as I seen Brad Pitt, rolling on in, riding a horse, looking like every maiden's fantasy, I knew that his little brother's relationship was gonna crumble. That man looked immaculate!!

[@DanielGonzalez-vo5ni]

Holy shit I saw this years ago never expected reactions to it especially of anyone I follow I'm in

[@Jekmyster]

This is by far the best decision you guys have ever made. 2 guys watching "legends of the fall" I can tell you I've watched this movie multiple times, and the only reason I do watch it is because I got a girl with me. So 2 bros watching this is hilarious. The comments in itself is worth its weight in gold.

[@LifeOfNigh]

"A River Runs Through It" is another period piece with Brad Pitt that came out around the same time as this one. It's another great movie.

[@courtneyshumway1922]

Yes! @CinePals pls do A River Runs Through It! Period tragic brother drama, beautifully executed.

[@MsKeepgodfirst]

I need everyone to understand that Tristin never loved Susana he had love for her, he cared for her but he was not in love with her. Remember Alfred asked and he never answered. Why? Because he didn't. If you noticed before they left for the war after the night they kissed he never looks at her. He messed up and regretted it. Then when they came back Susana was making all of the first moves.

I know the man who trained the bear and played ‘older Tristan’ in thr end … he said Brad Pitt was really good with the bear

[@travismorris9303]

Who doesn't want more Karina Lombard? But it's a testament to her that her character still feels real and big in this film even with so few lines. Also I can't praise Aiden Quinn enough for his performance. And Anthony Hopkins and Brad Pitt cover such huge character arcs, and when you see them in Meet Joe Black you're immersed in those characters and don't think of these (or vice versa)

So Many different layers: family dynamics, absent mother, love and romance, 3 brothers loving the same woman, young teen coming of age, allegiance to govt vs family, political corruption, alcohol prohibition, racial inequity and history, interracial relationship, tragedy! This movie is called a romantic tragedy!🖤

This movie and Braveheart pair really well together. Both are epic period films that tell grand stories that span the years, covering all the bases with action, revenge, love, loss, redemption. Both also feature scores by James Horner, which are considered some of his best.

[@haunted_autumn]

One of my favorite films... and that score! One of the best of all time! RIP James Horner.

[@JMac7395]

I've always felt that Susanna was deeply infatuated with Tristan, not actually in love with him. She seemed so obsessed with the fantasy of the two of them being a couple that she couldn't really give Tristan comfort during his grief over Samuel. She never even asked him about his feelings on Samuel's death. I don't think Tristan was ever in love with Susanna. I think he cared for & had love for Susanna because of her connection to Samuel. I think Isabel Two was a better match for Tristan. She knew how to read people & she understood Tristan's character better.

I don't know how you all feel about a movie being on the channel more than once but I'd really like if more of the cinepals also got to watch this movie. Also, for Julia Ormond, I'd recommend First Knight. While it's kinda cheesy, it's a fun watch. AND it has Sean Connery in it! And for some reason I feel Dances With Wolves is needed...

[@maverick2242]

Great work guys, ya did good.🤘 Very underrated and I don't get why, Now we must see Kristen and Achara react to this! Not a chick flick its an Action Movie, that meets Pretty Woman meets Bridges of Madison County or Gone with the Wind! It has everything, maybe it touches too close to home for many, each of us could be one of these characters depending on your own type. I agree too re Karina Lombard, deserved more to her character, but then you have to make a movie length for theatre timing to suit screening and audiences, as patrons its up to us to use our imagination at times to fill gaps. Where as today with Netflix, Disney, Prime etc you can make mini series 8-10 episodes and seasons to develop story lines and characters! I have always thought this movie didn't get the credit it deserved, stellar cast with stellar performances, I think this may have been around the time of Silence of the Lambs and Interview with a Vampire and for Pitt and Anthony Hopkins those movies' overshadowed this if memory serves me correct, anyways kudos guys to step up and react to this 🤘

[@LlamaLlamaMamaJamaac]

12:51 Interesting fact: Modern plastic surgery was born of the need created by trench warfare + heavy artillery, fighter planes, and flamethrowers. Sheltering in trenches meant that the face was extremely vulnerable, as it’s the first thing to emerge…. And often times the wounds were not fatal. The pioneering surgeon was from New Zealand I believe? An absolute hero who gave men (and literal teenage boys) their lives back. I want to say he operated on 11,000 wounded. Another interesting fact: the same surgeon also pioneered “bottom surgery” techniques for trans people But anyway, also: life in trenches was a couple shades above hell. Cold, rat infested, and so wet that moisture+fungal infections destroyed soft tissue in the feet. ALSO, the implements I listed above were new innovations. Nothing can really prepare someone for war… but more so when guns and cannons became shrapnel and flamethrowers. AND, not only was there no actual treatment for PTSD, but in some cases traumatized soldiers were court martialed for cowardice (if they froze) or desertion (if they fled.) I can absolutely understand why a WWI vet would say nothing but “it was ugly.” If you haven’t seen Hacksaw Ridge, Hugo Weaving gives an amazing portrayal of a survivor.
