| 197.1 | View with proper expectations | VMSDEV::HALLYB | Fish have no concept of fire | Wed May 26 1993 14:13 | 9 |
| The cinematography was worthy of the award, but I was really
disappointed by the movie. It was a matter of expecting a plot
and not finding one.
I wouldn't call it a "story" so much as a series of vignettes.
Long "Bicentennial Minutes" without the drama. Many of which
were interesting but didn't go anywhere, on to the next portrait.

| I liked it a lot, and found it very moving, and I have no interest in
fishing! :-) I thought it had a plot, an interesting one. I, also,
thought the acting was good. I thought Brad Pitt especially did a very
good job of playing the wild, but likeable brother. I cried at the
end.

| I'm not to sure why but this movie had the same touch and feel for me
as Field of Dreams which is a very high compliment! I thought the
movie was great, it just quite simply told the story of a family and
how they intereated within the family group and with friends. It was
kept low keyed and very true to life.
I also think that Robert Redford is one fine director and has a great
eye for picking out good stories to tell. I've yet to see one his
flicks that I have not enjoyed.
Go See it,

| 197.4 | Good movie | 16821::VETEIKIS | | Thu May 27 1993 09:47 | 15 |
| I thought this was a terrific movie also.
The part that moved me was the illustration of how a father and his two
boys took very different paths in life, yet held a common bond that
runs very deep; a bond that is unspoken, as often male relationships
are, but are known by each and makes them one. I can't recall any other
movie that I've seen that has done such a splendid job of representing
the "mystery" of male relationships.
Relationships came first in this movie and primary, plot was secondary.
I applaud this risky move. Why? So many movies have sacrificed the
development of of the characters and relationships, to "entertain us"
with a spellbinding plot. This is one movie that didn't do that.

| I loved this movie. It was slow-paced and told a story of a family,
and those are the movies I find the most fascinating. Every family has
a story and this one moved me. The acting was above reproach and the
scenery made me want to move to Montana and bait my hook. Just a
beautiful film.

| 197.7 | Buy the laserdisc | 51219::GARLICK_N | | Tue Oct 12 1993 10:45 | 10 |
| I know that this a Movies rather than a Laserdisc conference, but after
seeing the disc this weekend, I thought I would recommend it
unresevedly to anybody wondering whether to buy it. The picture is
(with the exception of The Abyss - Collector's Edition) the sharpest I
have ever seen. The sound is excellent, there are loads of chapter
stops and there even some interesting liner notes on the sleeve. If you
have a laserdisc player and you like this film, get the disc. It's a
stunner.
