LEGENDS OF THE FALL (1994) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION

[@Bookwormgal1]

The person who touched me most in this movie is Alfred. All his life he had to be the perfect older brother, protecting his younger brothers. I love how he said "I followed all the laws, man's and God's and Tristan followed none of them and they all loved Tristan more. My heart ached. He only wanted to feel accepted by his father. Thank you for your reaction to this beautiful movie!

[@Lionheart1188]

TRuth!!!!

[@Macleodking]

I agree here. I think it was shameful to have Tristan and Susanna becoming romantic while Samuel was still alive. Later it could have been explained because of their shared trauma at loosing him. Tristan constantly puts the family at risk with his reckless behavior, and Susanna slept her way through every brother. She would have been completely ostracized from the society of the time. But the writer chose to apply 90s sensibilities to the storyline. Poor Alfred was somehow made to look like the villain of the family.

[@cathleenwarner1778]

@@Macleodking Did she sleep with Samuel?

[@cathleenwarner1778]

I think that's just who Alfred was, a rule follower, not a choice he made

[@kusali11]

​@@cathleenwarner1778 it's always a hard choice to be the bigger man. That's actually more heroic than anything else. Tristan is just a charismatic bear man, nothing particularly human about him.

[@davew1647]

When i was a kid, I took Tristan's side. When I rewatched this as a grown man, I took Alfred's side. When I experienced how much life can tear you apart, I realized neither were at fault.

[@kusali11]

I gotta say Alfred had to overcome a lot. The guy was a true hero at the end. Think about it, everyone loved Tristen more. Yet he still showed for his family at the end, even his father loved Tristen more. I'm sorry but Tristan is no different than a charismatic dog. 😂

[@Blue_Eyed_Chippewa]

Tristans side or Alfred's side? This is all on Susannah, dude. She jumped on every one of Colonel Ludlows sons' sticks. She tore through that family and ruined what little stability they had. What kind of person sleeps with two of their deceased partners' siblings and turn them even further against one another. Like, I know the brothers aren't blameless, but come on, she was the spark that started the fire.

[@sfsfewrewsdafs6915]

When I saw this in a theatre, my husband and I had to wait til everyone left at the end of the movie because I was crying, actually sobbing, so much I couldn't get out of my seat. I have never been able to watch it again until now with you. After watching your reactions I am sure, once again, I still can not watch the full movie again. Great movie and great reactions from you two. Thank you again for your lovely channel.

This was THE movie that made Brad Pitt a global heartbreaker. Back in the 90's I watched this movie several times, it's themes are timeless and the intense emotion always makes me cry. Interesting to see a new generation 're-discover' it.

[@zacpasley5741]

Meet Joe Black would be a great film for their reactions

Funny thing is she had another similar role in another period piece, 'First Knight', where she was coveted by multiple men and also stars another heartthrob (Richard Gere) with another British Knight (Sean Connery). Not as well-thought of like LotF though.

[@Kosh800]

That speech Alfred made where he talked about following all the rules, Man's, God's, etc. hit me like a ton of bricks when I was younger and watched this. I felt like Alfred. I always did the right thing, always followed the rules, and my brother never did. When I was younger that made me bitter because he was the one who always garnered the attention while deserving none of it. This movie hit me so damn hard.

[@Divamarja_CA]

Sounds like The Prodigal Son. I’m sorry.

[@samuraibirds917]

Same. This was how me and my brother were known in the family and to outsiders. He was always wild and rebelious while I was more of a calm person. He broke the law at times while I tried to avoid it. He was agressive and people liked that while I was more of a pacifist. Ironically, in comparison to the movie, my younger brother also modeled. Nowadays I love him more than I ever did before. In the end, the bond that brothers share with eachother is almost unbreakable if both nurture it well. I couldn't wish for a better younger brother although this movie hit me hard, especially that speech.

[@mrjdgibbs]

Oh but the wild ones suffer for their wildness. Do not envy them for it

[@oysterman962]

Women don't go for men who follow the rules. Alfred was the antithesis of nice guys finish last. Women will always go for the wild card, bad boy Tristan. That's why Brad Pitt's character was so popular with the female audience. Aiden Quinn although clean shaven and handsome just faded into history and forgotten about. Same with the wimpy younger brother. Don't even remember his name.

[@sitcomsTV]

@@mrjdgibbs I think the movie shows it. The trip that Tristan does is one of self discovery trought self destruction. He went and try it all, fearless, didnt matter, sex with hookers, drugs, deceases, violence, blood... When he had plenty of that he felt the craving for quiet times and he returned home. Were he met Isabel II that knew about all the places he had been trough books... and shown herself to be a smart, witt, inteligent woman that captivated the wild Tristan. He was ready for it. But before he wasn't. He became a family man when time was right for him.

[@MHLegacy]

"Legends of the Fall" is definitely one of the best dramas ever. One of my top ten favorite movies.

[@renee7407]

I was obsessed with this movie. Susannah was the most heartbreaking character for me, when she sees Tristan and his family in the street it breaks me every time. Her heartbreak is too much.

[@goofygrandlouis6296]

And thus the song.. "Oh Suzanna, Suzanna.. oh don't you cry for me [...]"

[@Hortonfantastic4]

And her hair. I would have given 10 years off my life to have her hair

[@christianarce801]

Her character is very well acted

[@billhicks6449]

I think what gets me in the end is that had Suzanna just held on for a little bit longer she literally would have been the mother of Tristan's babies after Alfred takes custody so Tristan can escape. She would have raised little Samuel, and despite all the heartbreak I do believe that would have saved her. Her problem unfortunately was a lack of faith. She lost faith Tristan would return so she married Alfred. She lost faith in herself and her situation so she killed herself. Either time she would have gotten what she wanted had she held on.

[@Crazyhorrse]

She belongs to the streets.

@@sumelar and I'll never understand why people make sweeping generalisations about people who they don't know and they've never met ... Hardly 'whining' about CGI was I, simply said there's none in this film, didn't say it was bad or good or that I hate it or that it's overused but since we're on the subject, raised by you I might add, some of us prefer our movie experience to be based on things more intricate like a script, a story, a character, location, cinematography, acting, you know that thing actors used to do before marvel and Disney turned them into green screen puppets. We haven't all got the attention span of your average tiktoker and some of us like a bit more depth, effort, skill and realism than bright shiny lights and unrealistic imagery, but if you're that easily pleased or mentally/visually stimulated, good for you, what a time to be alive... As you were

Saw this in the theater in college. I leaned over to my girlfriend and said she gets a pass if somehow Brad Pitt showed up. She elbowed me acting mad. About an hour later she leaned over and said, “I’ll take you up on that.” It was so funny. All the women in the theater gushed. I actually fell in love with his acting. He wasn’t just a pretty boy anymore after that to me. Great reaction ladies.

This is one of my top 10 movies of all time. It's so good. Some parts may seem slow, but the characters and relationships are so fleshed out. It's so good. This is fantastic movie making at its finest. Direction, storytelling, music, setting, acting, casting, emotion, atmosphere, etc, etc.

[@alexistrebexis3195]

[@jculver1674]

Best part of the movie. His family pushed him away, and he still had their backs when it really mattered.

[@catspaw3092]

Only after Susannah died & losing Isabel were Al & Tris able to reunite & become brothers again I personally think losing Isabel at the hands of his govt associates that told Alfred "Father was right the govt cares for nothing or no one but themselves they don't care who they hurt they killed my baby sis, my baby bro, they threatened my family oh it's on boys nobody messes with the Ludlows." And the sick twist is no one outside the family will every know that their beloved congressmen was involved in murdering govt officials & their lackies lol.

[@0saintclark0]

This is one of those movies that leaves me with a feeling of sad emptiness. You see them as young children with their father in the prime of his life, and by the end they're all gone...it makes me think about how many people's stories have started, been told, ended and then been forgotten, and how my story will one day end and whether I'll be important enough to anyone to be remembered when it does.

Incredible movie. One of the "stars" of this movie is Bart the Bear. He was raised by Doug Seus and was in 13 movies and a few TV shows. After working with Bart on this movie, Brad Pitt narrated a documentary about Bart and Doug Seus. Doug and his wife are amazing people. I think that Doug appeared in this movie as the old "Tristan" that fought the bear at the end.

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

Was thinking the same thing! I keep waiting for someone to react to it, but I think it’s one of those films that was pretty well known when it came out, but has since fallen through the cracks. I think the general similarities with this movie (Brad Pitt, early 20th century Montana, family drama) have probably compounded that as well.

Alfred was played by Aidan Quinn, his first film was called "Reckless" and I highly recommend it. When it was released, Aidan was hailed to be the next James Dean. Secondly, Samuel was played by Henry Thomas whose first role was Elliot in the blockbuster, "E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial".

This has been one of my favorite movies ever since I watched this in theatres. I came out of it dazed and confused..it was the first time a movie inflicted anything close to that on me. I wanted to admire Tristan, yet felt the pain of those around him. I was thwarted with a range of emotions and was barely able to stumbled out the theatre. As I did so, it was the first time, but not the last time that I realized something could captivate me so. This truly is a masterpiece, and one of James Horner's best composition. RIP..

I’ve been waiting for this one. The VHS copy came with a poster of Brad Pitt in character and you’d better believe that stayed on my wall for years.

Honestly it’s a great memory. I’m glad I got to relive it with you guys!

[@Accolonian]

I knew this one was going to break you. I have watched this movie maybe 4-5 times and I start crying everytime Tristan comes home like clockwork. There is this prodigal son motive that completely breaks me every time. Also, I love the metaphors of her being the water that split the rocks and him being the rock they all crush themselves against. Powerful stuff. And by the way, if you like Brad Pitt in this, I should mention that this is around the same time he starred in Interview with the Vampire, just saying :)

Knowing Cassie and Carly's love for romantic movies, I have to admit that this movie, above all others that we've seen when Cassie shows what films are upcoming, is the one I've most anticipated. So much so that I've already watched this reaction 3 times! Absolute PROPS to the real MVP, our favorite editor, who knows exactly what to put in and leave out of these reactions. The zoom in on Cassie after Tristan pulled Susannah in for a kiss.... THAT - WAS - AWESOME! 😂

Mike truly is a genius. So many elements of this channel make it great... but he seems to melt everything together into a truly gorgeous package. -Jon

He died how he lived. I can’t think of a more fitting ending to his life. It’s a great movie. Even better to those who have brothers.

[@rowanmayfair9249]

God, I've lost count of how many times I've watched this. Personally, I'm sure I'm a masochist because it still makes me cry. Every. Damn. Time. Even cut up like this I cried. To me, that's the mark of an epic movie. I think this is such an underrated film. Everything was so spot on. Yes, Brad Pitt was phenomenal, also very underrated. Yes, he also was and is beauty personified. Too beautiful to be real at times. That's what has made his career so interesting to watch. This film is what made me sit up and take notice of his chops for the first time. Se7en smacked me in the face and announced he was ready to play with the big boys. I will always hold Legends close to my heart though. I think because I identified with Tristan and his inner bear. We all have our demons. Thank you. Seriously. I needed this today.

Great flick. Thanks for reacting to it. I haven't seen others cover it and it really deserves the attention.

Absolutely agreed. I know a lot of young guys like myself who didnt see it cuz all anyone was talking about was Brad Pitt's hair lol. Saw it a few years later flipping through channels and have been hooked since.

Hey girls. I was watching Legends of the Fall for the 10th time I think and it still makes you have all those emotional feelings. Then I can across y’all for the first time. Watching y’all was almost as entertaining. Y’all are ADORABLE. I’m a new fan.

[@angelawilliams5153]

Hey ladies, no need to be embarrassed about swooning over Brad…. Legends of the fall is absolutely the movie that all of us fell completely deeply in love with Brad…. It’s almost impossible not to blush when you’re watching him in this movie…. :)

[@grunt9950]

Legends of the Fall - great cast, great story, great characters, great soundtrack

[@genghisgalahad8465]

Yes!! Legends of the Fall! Such an epic romantic in like a classical sense and emotional arc of a movie! I’m so glad you guys are also discovering movies that aren’t as you say your usual rom-com but are also epic in romance stories! Some actually most of the most epic movies have romance, tragic and otherwise. This alongside Ten Commandments and Casablanca and Braveheart is a must see! So many kinds of relationships here!

[@paintedjaguar]

Why is it that "Braveheart" gets all the love while one rarely hears about "Rob Roy" (1995, Liam Neeson & Lessica Lange) from the same year? Personally, I think "Rob Roy" is the better movie. It's certainly at least as well made.

[@lewstone5430]

@paintedjaguar I think because there are large battles in Braveheart.

[@genghisgalahad8465]

Because Braveheart came out.

[@pduidesign]

This movie solidified Brad Pitt’s status as a Hollywood heartthrob and instantly pushed him into movie star status. After this movie he did Interview with a Vampire and shortly after that he did Se7en. Julia Ormond appears in another Brad Pitt film: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (directed by David Fincher of Se7en and Fight Club). That movie is a beautiful movie that will leave you contemplating life and love and the beauty of the world. You would absolutely love that movie as well.

[@Kickinthescience]

I’m pretty sure women already wanted him after the movie Thelma & Louise

[@pduidesign]

@@Kickinthescience true…but notice their reaction when he first shows up. They actually blush. 🤣🤣 That year he won people magazines sexiest man alive for the first time.

[@Shadowfax-1980]

The bear in this movie was played by Bart the Bear, who was a famous animal actor that played in many movies including The Great Outdoors, The Edge, and The Bear, just to name a few. He usually played grizzly bears, but was actually a larger Kodiak bear from Alaska.

[@littleainsa99]

My heart aches for Alfred. It was such a heart wrenching, overwhelming movie, but it was perfect. And the music!!

Edward zwick is a genius director. And James Horner ( RIP ) knew how to conjure so much emotion in his music.

[@paulocardoso3142]

"Whoever these men were and wherever they came from, the tens of thousands of those who were American citizens fought with distinction, as did Canada in the war. When the U.S. finally declared itself in 1917, most stayed with their Canadian brethren and with the concurrence of their own government. By 1920, they were fully welcomed back into their own country as American citizens in good standing. The dead among them were legally welcomed in American war cemeteries (though they were bound by policy to remain in CWGC cemeteries), and the Cross of Sacrifice of the Commonwealth Forces was dedicated at Arlington." I don't know this part of history well, but to my understanding, America at that time did not declared war to Germany, so its citizens could face backlash from the government by going to war under the American flag, so some 35000 brave Americans crossed to Canada and enlisted there. It has been more than 20 years since i saw this movie, but i remember the ladies back then where in ecstasy by the acting of Brad Pitt, ahahah.

Tristan hated his mother because she left. He ended up being just like her. I hope you watch the Talented Mr. Ripley, if you've haven't seen it before.

[@johntacchi7697]

I loved the honesty of Alfred, identifying with his father that they both loved women who did not love them. Despite the brotherly conflict, I saw them both as victims of circumstance trying to do the right thing.

[@justinamenta7241]

Well the first time he left he wasn't married and had no kids....the last time he left to go into hiding basically to protect his family. So no, not even remotely comparable.

For years I dealt with my PTSD, after serving 5 tours in the Middle East in combat. I did 25 years total. This movie is sad, but I feel more in tune with the movie, Flags of Our Fathers. But, I know the pain of losing friends in combat and it’s tough AF when you make it through and they don’t. 🇺🇸

I do like you coment. I understand what you are saying. But. As I teen I didn't like this romance at all 🤣 and movie got on my nerves. I believe brothers "sharing" a woman was 😱 to me. I don't remember much of it. Not the ending at all

[@lockekappa500]

@@miyayume_eclectic_dream Times were different then. Like the colonel said, they hardly ever even saw a woman out there. There was a lot of this going on back in the day. And technically they never "shared" her. Samuel died, and Alfred didn't marry her until probably years after Tristan was still gone.

Saw this movie purely by accident. Had tickets to another movie, and theater was full, so I left the auditorium and the manager gave me free tickets, and said I can also watch any movie starting soon in another theater room. I picked this movie at random, a movie I would never have watched, and really enjoyed it. I've since bought it on DVD, then Blu-ray, and have watched it over 10 times. It's one of my favorite movies.

Brad Pitt's role in Tarantino's Inglorious Bastards is a riff on his role here in Legends of the Fall. Tarantino recognized that this movie is a great big ball of cheese, but hugely influential and hugely fun too.

I saw this on its original theatrical release and I found it ironic that it was Tristan, who outlived all of them and did indeed die a “warriors death.” Tristan had his own demons but it was his failure to protect Samuel that ripped his “spirit” apart.

[@natashaweikath1487]

This film has so much going on throughout it, the depth of emotion from love to hate, from happiness to despair simply takes you on a journey which is both wonderful and awful at the same time.
