Product Description A passionate journey into the darkest secrets of love, betrayal, and the unbreakable bonds of blood, LEGENDS OF THE FALL is a powerful story about three brothers struggling to stay together and the woman who comes between them. .com A box-office hit when released in 1994, this sprawling, frequently overwrought familial melodrama may get sillier as its plot progresses, but it's the kind of lusty, character-based epic that Hollywood should attempt more often. It's also an unabashedly flattering star vehicle for Brad Pitt as Tristan--the rebellious middle son of a fiercely independent Montana rancher and military veteran (Anthony Hopkins)--who is routinely at odds with his more responsible older brother, Alfred (Aidan Quinn), and younger brother, Samuel (Henry Thomas). From the battlefields of World War I to his adventures as an oceangoing sailor, Tristan's life is full of personal torment, especially when he returns to Montana and finds himself competing with Alfred over Samuel's beautiful widow (Julia Ormond), whose passion for Tristan disrupts the already turbulent Ludlow clan. Under the wide-open canopy of Big Sky country, this operatic tale unfolds with all the bloodlust, tragedy, and scenery-chewing performances you'd expect to find in a hokey bestselling novel (in fact, it's based on the acclaimed novella by Jim Harrison), but it's a potent mix that's highly entertaining. Not surprisingly, John Toll won an Academy Award for his breathtaking outdoor cinematography. --Jeff Shannon P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); Additional Features For anyone who loves this sweeping melodrama, the extras in this special edition make it a must-have--even if you bought the disc in its initial release. Director Ed Zwick and Brad Pitt (on one track) inject a lot of humor into their stories on dealing with the film's production. The other commentary track has cinematographer John Toll (who won an Oscar) and art director Lilly Kilvert illuminating how the two technicians worked together to create the film's luscious look. They don't talk about technical specifications as much as how studies of time and place (and a few lucky accidents) can change a script. Kilvert also guides us through a short, intriguing segment on how modern Vancouver, British Columbia, was turned into rustic Helena, Montana. Instead of the usual hunt-and-find method of an isolated music score, a menu directly links you to each scene that features James Horner's music. Three deleted scenes give more weight to Tristan's (Pitt's character) world odyssey, but, as Zwick states, they were not essential to the final film. --Doug Thomas See more

A Wonderful Movie
Watching this movie is an experience. A “sleeper” of a movie that doesn’t seem to get enough credit.The 4k presentation is very, very good. The sceneries and colors are just beautiful. The audio is amazing.Not too many movies have a cast like this one. This might be one of Brad Pitt’s best performances. Aidan Quinn doesn’t get enough credit for his role as the eldest brother. Julia Ormond is absolutely beautiful and is a very, very good actress. Anthony Hopkins, what more can you say about this legendary actor. He is absolutely brilliant.There are a few scenes that might be inappropriate for very young viewers.In my opinion, this an absolute must buy. Treat yourself to a wonderful movie and add this one to your 4k collection.

One of the most outstanding movies!
This movie holds a special place with me. The story, the cinematography (it won an Oscar for this) and the actors are perfection. It's so majestic and full of spirit. It is my favorite movie of Brad Pitt's career. I was in awe of him & couldn't imagine anyone looking & acting so beautifully . . .I swear, he'll take your breath away! All the other actors are superb and in their best roles. The story takes you through the history of that time and you never know what surprise is coming (sad & loving). Director, Edward Zwick created a masterpiece. The DVD took a little time getting here BUT it was so worth it. It is in perfect shape (new)!

Must-see American Saga
Powerful and romantic family saga at the end of the great American West. Masterful acting by an incredible cast, compelling plot line, action, romance, historical accuracy, gorgeous setting; this movie has everything to engross every viewer. Inspiring, heartbreaking, exhilarating, sometimes funny. Julia Ormond is achingly beautiful, and the young Brad Pitt oozes star power and sex appeal. The soaring scale and breadth of the picture (and its lush accompanying soundtrack) in the early twentieth century west pulls at all your emotions.It’s “Yellowstone” with better acting, tighter plot, and less pettiness and greed. The compelling triumphs & tragedies of an American family against the breathtaking backdrop of the early 20th century America.This movie will stay with you for a while.

Can Be Cheesy - But The Music is Good!
There's not much to be said about 'LoTF' that hasn't already been said; based off of a Novella by the same name, this movie covers the span of decades and is more than simply a story about a family growing up in Montana - it is an entanglement of nature, war, love, betrayal, and grief.My favorite thing about this film is the music; nominated for an academy award, James Horner Known for his work on the 'Titanic' score) uses his music to guide the viewer through the emotions of this movie in a way that brings comfort and ease. The theme of the movie is introduced early (it is introduced to us with lyrics, that are sung by one character) and it is repeated throughout the film at moments where emotional depth is expected and at its hight. It's a simple way of grounding the film so as to not escape the audience - and, put simply, it works.Despite not winning an award for best original score, 'LOTF' did receive an award for best cinematography- and it's quite obvious why. The wilderness of Montana is shown through a variety of colors and seasons, and the set design immerse the audience in to the story in a way that is refreshing and at the very least - endearing. The setting is a constant reminder of the challenges these characters subsequently deal with (as their setting changes, or stays the same), and it lends authenticity to the film that could otherwise be lost or misrepresented.As this movie is based off a book. it's only natural to include information regarding how close this film is to the novel it is based off of. A pleasant surprise to some - this is one case in particular where the book remains very close to the book although this is not without its flaws; most notably, Susanna's relationship with Tristan and his siblings is very different from that in the book (I suppose, to add a bit of drama and make her character seem more interesting - OOP), but that is understandable in regards to making this movie's story reach and engage with a wider audience. All other characters, including the Native American characters, in this film are presented as authentically as possible, and that's just one more thing that makes this film one simply worth watching at least once.I would recommend!
