A true story about two boys, Norman and Paul, growing up in Montana. One is rebellious of his father, Rev. Maclean, while the other has his feet on the ground. The one love they both have is fly fishing.

1:52.. every flyfisherman dreams of this scene.
My favorite quotes of this movie…….”All existance seems to fade to a to a being with my soul and memories” and the silence without my wife’s never ending nagging, a 4 count rhythm and a hope that a fish will rise.”
So inspirational! It just lifts my soul!

My most favourite movie of all time. Thank you Robert Redford for bringing this film into my life…

One of my all-time favorites. I wish there were more movies like this.

“Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it” that was my favourite quote in my elementary school graduation year book.

I can’t watch this with out bursting out in tears. I think of all the people that I didn’t understand and who are gone now, especially my late wife. Still, I watch this ending over and over. I don’t think this is motivated by empty sentimentality but rather by some profound catharsis that this scene evokes. Something that I can’t put into words at least not ones as powerful as Robert Redford recites in the voice over.

Bravo…one of the greatest movies I have ever seen.
July 25th, 2010 at 9:05 am
Perhaps the most beautiful conclusion to a movie (and book) ever written. A true work of art.

@TheMatzee – Go to your local library and rent, “A River Runs Through It & other stories” by Norman Maclean. A River Runs Through It is just over a hundred pages. You won’t be disappointed.

THE greatest, most enduring and life applicable ending to any movie….goosebumps, tears; the brevity of life and the human condition. I will never get sick of this. Thank you Norman. Thank you Robert.

I watched this movie when I was a teenager and this movie gave me a different dimension to life. And you know what I dream that when i will dry from this beautiful world I would be able to see the last part of this film in my last time. Who said the words are important in life. There are things that cannot be explained even with words. Words are just not good enough. This movie stabs us in good sense.

please, could anybody send me the text of the poem: Evetually, all things ….
It would be very great.
Thanks

I have yet to understand how 3:30 seconds of film can summarize 41 years of life, though it does…I too am haunted by waters.

As a fisherman…this movie is so touching. I have chased trout my entire life, and i have come to appreciate the spirituality of it some time ago. I know that when i am on the stream ..it is my church…my sanctuary, and whatever problems exist in my life just fade away like the day sky to the night. Without it, my life would not be complete……

@skatze1
well said.

My heart and memory hurts every time I watch this scene and this movie. It makes one dream of better times, of those we love and the realization that as precious as life is, it’s nothing without love and memory.
July 25th, 2010 at 1:59 pm
wait seven more years, then it really hits you.
July 25th, 2010 at 2:23 pm
Whenever I feel like a good cry…..I just think of this movie ending. Works every time.
July 25th, 2010 at 2:26 pm
