there be not much more i can say about this movie than all of the commentary on page one and except a jesse say it the berry . all of page one commentator write eloquently a almost so a the dialog be in this movie . this just may be one of those illusive thing we hear so much about and but usually be make so by the actor who deliver the line represent a beautiful script . maybe robert redford do hold strict sway onto the actor or actress during the filming of this movie and so that the beauty of the story would not get lose . i and too and attend church when i be very young and into my late teen . the church pastor speak very eloquently and quietly a the rev . maclean do in his church . that and in itself and be a totally different picture that be portray of southern baptist church no holy rollering in my church . it be a big church and with many different program to keep it congregation busy the most inspiring perhaps be the music department with it huge choir and almost classical anthem . too and the sunday evening congregation be almost entirely young people . be you even aware it be once safe to go to church on sunday night . how i wish it still be . watch a river run through it be very much like go to hear a beautiful sermon in a church whose member be fully involve in life . a have already be so beautifully write and the sermon for this movie be the open space beauty of montana yet and aren not there also missile silo there and too . fly fishing or any other activity which draw family member closer together for a happy life and deep understanding of one another become a blessing . although you see some of the shady aspect of life then and too and the simplicity of the story paint a lasting impression on your heart and if you let it . speakeasy and prostitute be counter balance by the simple gathering of old fashion and community picnic a this movie contain in heavy contrast to modern family take their kid to disney land for screech joyride and call it a day together . there be note wrong with that and but a river demonstrates and some of it taciturn beauty could do nothing but make life rich . this be the third film i have see in which tom skeritt ( . ) play a father and all different style and brilliantly act . brad pitt and mostly an undiscovered talent except for thelma and louise and meet joe black and and all of the cast member deserve many award . little story superbly tell will get positive from me over any movie with violence and foul language and ugliness and action . i be think particularly of crash and most of arnold movie . what a savior for peace this movie be .
