I could watch this over and over again - and, of course, they used silk fishing lines made by Phoenix and cane rods. What could be better! - @Wednesday, June 12, 2013 6:08 AM

A fantastic film. I watched this for the first time, with my Dad when I was at an age to appreciate it, and I've never forgotten it. The trailer summarises it fantastically; the hairs stand up on the back of my neck when they go over the waterfall. - @Tuesday, April 30, 2013 10:10 PM

I am haunted by waters. That last line and scene of him as an old man shook my soul. Reminded me how fragile and yet beautiful life is, even with all it's flaws and imperfections being around the people we love and the things we enjoy is what matters. I love this movie. - @Monday, October 1, 2012 7:11 PM

Brad Pitt's character dies from being beaten to death after forcing himself into gambling games that he could neither pay off or pay the stakes, not to mention this drinking. So it was a statement that was made... However, it is shown that will all his faults, he was still a loving son and brother and the best fisherman in Montana. - @Monday, April 16, 2012 3:12 AM

This trailer is absolutely aweful and does the movie no justice whatsoever. If I had never seen this movie before and saw this trailer it would turn me away from watching it. I have seen this movie numerous times and it is brilliant. Everything about it from the writing, to the acting, to the cinematography is spectacular. - @Friday, December 16, 2011 4:04 AM

I love deep movies, I read this book. Truly amazing, wish I grew up like this and not in the Swedish ghettos. I love fishing, I love my dad who taught me how to fish. I just wish we could have done it more. This movie is awesome - @Friday, November 25, 2011 12:04 AM
