My favorite song from the movie: The Ludlows by James Horner
Why I love the movie: This one is difficult to write only because there is so much to love in the film. It's a sweeping epic that stuns with the rugged and majestic scenery combined with multiple stories that intertwine to create what is simply - family - in all its complex simplicity.
If someone were to ask me to list five movies they should see, Legends of The Fall would be on the list.
I think that I relate to it on a personal level because I have Native American blood and the movie has heavy tones of that culture - not only with characters but the music, the beliefs and the way of life that is lived.
It is the story of three brothers and their love for one woman. A story of war and honor, a father who has seen the truth of battle and his inability to stop his sons from seeing it too. Love, war, loss and betrayal tear the family to pieces. You watch them try to find their way back from tragedy but this movie is not about neatly tied plot strings and happy endings.
Rather, it's about life - real life - where most often, you don't get 'do overs' and sometimes the only happy ending is learning and breathing.
My favorite quote from the movie: "One Stab: Some people hear their own inner voices with great clearness and they live by what they hear. Such people become crazy, or they become legends."
