in my humble opinion and this movie do not receive the recognition it deserve . robert redford live near me here in provo and utah and at sundance . i enjoy most of his work and and this be my favorite . i be sorry that more people do not appreciate it . my grandmother be an avid reader and read the book year before it come out on the big screen . she give it to me to read after we have see the movie together . the movie and book hit an emotional spot within my heart and and i be weepy for several day after see the movie . sometimes love isn not enough to keep our loved one from hurt themselves . we see this in our own family relationship and yet our love and our family and their story endure throughout generation of time . the cinematography be perfect and breathtaking i be awe by it beauty and how well it bring to life the word of the author of the book and norman maclean and but when i be alone in the half light of the canyon and all existence seem to fade to a be with my soul and and memory . and the sound of the big black foot river and and a four count rhythm and and the hope that a fish will rise . eventually and all thing merge into one and and a river run through it . the river be cut by the world great flood and run over rock from the basement of time . on some of the rock be timeless raindrop . under the rock be the word and and some of the word be theirs . i be haunt by water . these word and take from the book and speak at the end of the movie ( by robert redford who be narrate a norman maclean ) and be basically scripture and in my opinion . any possible flaw the movie may have be overshadow by the beauty and grace of the story and the cinematography . it be beautiful .
