ONE OF THE MOST POETIC MOVIES

Rating: 9/10 (5 March 2002)

...of the nineties.
One woman. Three brothers. It's all about honor, bravery and loyality. And there is a father. Antony Hopkins. And a wild world in the start of the 19th century.
Do we have a legend of the nineties here ? In some aspects...yes. There's plenty more than just a H'wood love story, Brad Pitt and emotions. In some place, there are hidden messages of what life is all about. That death is a part of live, just as a birth is and discovering who you are. Oh yes, and there is one unforgettable (and for my opinion the best) scene in this movie...the one where father writes on the table...I'm happy. Do we need more words here?
On the other hand, it's true that, although great, music it's at some places to loud. Heh, and a scene or two with the Brad totally unnecessary.
Maybe not quite a legend among other movies, but a movie with a strong story and a fabulous cinematography. A minor masterpiece.
9 out of 10
