This movie has several interesting things to offer, but you have to make time for it.

Rating: 8/10 (31 January 2005)

I've always been a fan of epic movies because they show more details about the characters and their lives. Thanks to the fact that you can follow the characters during an entire period of their lives, you always seem to know them a lot better than you would in other movies.
I can understand that a lot of people are a bit concerned when thinking about this movie. Some people seem reluctant to watch it because they fear that this movie will rather be a teenage flick than a serious movie, only because Brad Pitt is in it. Well I can assure you: it is a good, decent movie. It's story is very compelling and tells the tale of three brothers and their father who live in Montana. The men have a bond that could never be broken, until a woman appears in their lives and changes everything...
This movie has several interesting things to offer. An intriguing love story, stunning landscapes, nature doing its best to make you forget about the entire story, historical facts like WWI and the prohibition, good drama... It may all seem a bit too much for one movie, but in my opinion it isn't. Of course you'll have to take your time to let it all get through to you and not everybody is willing to sit more than 90 minutes to watch a movie, but once you are willing to let yourself overwhelm by its beauty, you'll find this a very powerful and gripping movie. I know I did and that's why I reward this movie with an 8/10.
