A River Runs Through It (4/8) Movie CLIP - Fishing with Father (1992) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
The Maclean brothers go fly fishing with their dad (Tom Skerritt), who shows them who has the most skill.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Robert Redford's lyrical direction sets the tone for this evocative adaptation of author Norman MacLean's memoir of his idyllic Montana youth. The MacLean family is presided over by the strict but encouraging Rev. MacLean (Tom Skerritt) and his loving wife (Brenda Blethyn). Craig Sheffer stars as the young Norman, the older son in his family, who takes his school work and writing a bit too seriously for Paul (Brad Pitt), the impetuous younger son, to take much stock in. Paul would rather have a good time, drink and play cards than get involved with academic study. Where Norman wants to be a college literature professor, Paul would prefer to stay in Montana all his life and wrangle some kind of job writing for a local newspaper. But, ironically, Paul is the better fly fisherman and in this way attains a sense of perfection. The film also details the MacLean boys' involvement with a colorful group of town's people -- including a young Indian woman Paul decides to date and the defiant Jessie (Emily Lloyd), whom Norman later marries.

What happened to me today has nothing to do with fishing but it made me think of this scene. I was skiing with my sons who I taught to ski. As I was watching them ski down through the powder snow I noticed that they also broke free from my instruction and have a form of skiing that is much better than mine. Proud dad moment today. By the way this is one of my all time favorite movies.

[Frosty]

1:27-1:30 My Man’s really had to flex on them with the “My Fish 🐠 is Better that yours” didn’t even let it touch the Ground😂😂😂😂.

[HalfRightFaceProductions]

During my sobriety I had to fill my time with a hobby. I learned fly fishing and fly tying. I love it, and rainbow trout tastes so good.

[yzmaximus]

I sure miss my Dad, Mom and my older Brother. Sucks getting old.

[JamesL.-hrpk]

"It's just that he's been particularly good to me" (He's so Funny I love that part)😂 1:43

[tannermaxwell]

This movie really is something wonderful isn't it?

[vincemccoll]

I got back into fly fishing this year and it's been a blessing. I never been more at peace when I'm out there fishing

[jaystef]

Roasting your fishing partners is a very old tradition.

[yurdp]

0:46 such a beautiful shot that shows a highly skilled fly fisherman.

[tommclarty]

No man under 30 has ever outfished his father. Great flick!

[mathewgodfrey]

Caught my first fish in years today. Not only that. At 17 in, I believe it's the biggest fish I've ever caught.

That line at the end was the first thing that came to my mind.

[shirtslugger]

That’s gotta be the best cast I’ve ever seen at 0:47 and that’s coming from someone who’s been fishing for 20 years and guiding for 7

[woody]

Just that hes been particularly good to me....HAHA...great line...great movie

[YvonneS]

I ♥️ this movie! A true classic that I will watch over and over!!

[mtunpleasant]

This movie filled rivers, the following summer, with expensively outfitted couples ... stumbling through some of my favorite stretches of mountain-west trout streams.

[-NoneOfYourBusiness]

I watched that movie so many times. The country needs this movie right now.
We completely lost our way. Kids nowadays would swear against their parents:
"Where's my phone? What?!? No WiFi ?!? Are you f*cking serious?!??"

[joeysgear]

I actually like Norman's smaller fish the best. It has the prettiest speckles.

[mirandanix]

Echos in the sound of silence....I keep falling in and out of love with you..it's still my favorite habit of all.

“My father was very sure about certain matters pertaining to the universe. To him all good things-trout as well as eternal salvation-come by grace and grace comes by art and art does not come easy.”

“In our family, there was no clear line between religion and fly fishing. We lived at the junction of great trout rivers in western Montana, and our father was a Presbyterian minister and a fly fisherman who tied his own flies and taught others. He told us about Christ's disciples being fishermen, and we were left to assume, as my brother and I did, that all first-class fishermen on the Sea of Galilee were fly fishermen and that John, the favorite, was a dry-fly fisherman.”
― Norman Maclean, A River Runs Through It and Other Stories
