A River Runs Through It: Paul’s death

What’s happening in this A River Runs Through It movie?
Norman goes home and announces his parents Paul's death. Years later, Mrs. Maclean, Norman, Jessie, and their two children listen to a sermon being given by John.

What’s the movie A River Runs Through It about?
Two boys, Norman (Craig Sheffer from Nightbreed) and Paul (Brad Pitt from Ocean's Eleven and Meet Joe Black), grow up in 1920s Missoula, Montana under the watchful eye of their father, a Presbyterian minister (Tom Skerritt from Up in Smoke). Their mornings are spent in school and religious study, while their afternoons are devoted to fly fishing in the nearby Blackfoot River. At home, however, the family's stoic emotions hint that trouble is to come. Norman goes to the east coast for college and lives there for six years, without returning home until then. In the meantime, Paul gets a job as a prolific journalist and makes a name for himself back home. The movie is about Norman's return home and his and Paul's summer together. As adults, Paul is a rebellious journalist and his brother, Norman, is a level-headed, grounded teacher. Norman matures and channels his rebellion through his writing while dating Jessie Burns (Emily Lloyd from Wish You Were Here and In Country), while his reckless brother Paul turns to gambling and liquor. The film chronicles their intertwining and often conflicting lives, focusing on Norman's point of view, as they grow up in the shadow of their minister father. A great deal of the film surrounds the men's love of fly fishing for trout in Montana's rivers, and their shared experiences through it while growing up.

"Either we do not know what part of ourselves to give, or more often than not, the part that we have to give is not wanted." Been there, done that.

“We can love completely without complete understanding”

What a statement…watching this movie as a kid, I didn’t really understand it but as an adult, it’s absolute human truth summed up in seven words.

[mars]

My brothers and I.. inseparable in our youth...this movie brings back emotion in waves until I can't hold back the tears..RIP Big brother🙏

[MattyT]

Just has another level of feeling real than most movies

[terrilassiter-brzf]

One of the most moving dramatic, humorous, timeless, love stories I’ve ever seen! The brothers loved and respected each other…..

[actuary]

It should be illegal how good this movie is

[tdirgins]

Tom Skerritt walking hunched over is right out of the book. Every detail is perfect.

[GroundbreakGames]

There are very few movies I have a hard time watching simply because of the level of emotion they invoke. This is probably at the top of that short list.

[gordondjordjevic]

I cried a little. I never seen my dad so old before.

[AMcDub]

I have movie hangover every time I see this film. How can I go back to regular life and sunshine after seeing this??? It takes me a while 😢

[owensweetland]

Ah, the craftsmanship of those houses.

[oxfd]

Love with complete understanding and unconditional.

[rachelarmitage]

Just loved this film- it’s got everything, scenery, music, but mostly such love between two brothers.

[goldrusher]

"You know more than that, he was beautiful".

If I remember correctly, I've read that supposedly in the book Paul had one hand that was larger than the other, which is why he covers his whole face with it at one point in the movie in a subtle way. This also explains why their father asked which hand it was. It was his stronger hand that he fought to the death with trying to save himself. I'm not really sure why that makes the father that concerned or sad regarding which hand was broken. I guess it's maybe a token that Paul tried as hard as he could to live even in the midst of bad circumstances? But Paul also got himself into all of those circumstances willingly.

This film will always hold a special place in my heart. I remember seeing it in the theater with my father.

[aceventuraify]

Paul’s death taught me about the dangers of gambling addiction and it’s one of the reasons I’ve avoided it.

[colbjallen]

So sad, I can and can't remember this as a kid

[lockedloaded]

I love this book and I loved this movie! It is one of my all time favorites. I've always wondered about something. When Norman tells his father that nearly all the bones in Paul's hand were broken and the father asks what hand and Norman replies with "his right hand", is the significance of this that Paul was a fighter and he did not go down without putting up a fight?
