Two brothers take different paths as they try to live up to their father’s high moral – and fly fishing – standards in rural Montana in the early 1900s. “Fly-fishing stands for life in this movie. If you can learn to do it correctly, to read the river and the fish and yourself, and to do what needs to be done without one wasted motion, you will have attained some of the grace and economy needed to live a good life. If you can do it and understand that the river, the fish, and the whole world are God’s gifts to use wisely, you will have gone the rest of the way.” Roger Ebert, 1992
