Legends of the Fall
1994
*½
Director: Edward Zwick
Cast: Brad Pitt, Aidan Quinn, Henry Thomas, Anthony Hopkins, Julia Ormond
A ludicrously over-blown soap opera Western about three brothers who all love the same woman at some point in their lives. Anthony Hopkins gives one of his most embarrassing performances as their father, especially in the scenes after the character suffers a stroke. The story starts before the First World War and ends somewhere in the 1930, but Brad Pitt's hair remains unchanged through the decades. Based on Jim Harrison's novella.
