From Amazon.co.uk

A box-office hit when released in 1994, this sprawling, frequently overwrought familial melodrama may get sillier as its plot progresses, but it's the kind of lusty, character-based epic that Hollywood should attempt more often. It's also an unabashedly flattering star vehicle for Brad Pitt as Tristan--the rebellious middle son of a fiercely independent Montana rancher and military veteran (Anthony Hopkins)--who is routinely at odds with his more responsible older brother, Alfred (Aidan Quinn), and younger brother, Samuel (Henry Thomas). From the battlefields of World War I to his adventures as an oceangoing sailor, Tristan's life is full of personal torment, especially when he returns to Montana and finds himself competing with Alfred over Samuel's beautiful widow (Julia Ormond), whose passion for Tristan disrupts the already turbulent Ludlow clan. Under the wide-open canopy of Big Sky country, this operatic tale unfolds with all the bloodlust, tragedy, and scenery-chewing performances you'd expect to find in a hokey bestselling novel (in fact, it's based on the acclaimed novella by Jim Harrison), but it's a potent mix that's highly entertaining. Not surprisingly, John Toll won an Academy Award for his breathtaking outdoor cinematography. --Jeff Shannon

Synopsis

5.0 out of 5 stars A True Classic... 16 Aug 2004
By Ms. K. B. Firth
Format:DVD
This has got to be one of the best love stories I have ever seen. Heart-wrenching to say the least. Perfect cast, perfect look and a beatifully written storyline that doesn't allow you to leave it without that deep throb in your heart.

Anthony Hopkins and Brad Pitt have such a rapport and it's so pleasing to see them bouncing off eachother with their unique acting skills. You leave the film not believing that it wasn't real or at least based on a true story...the mark of a true classic!

Something I haven't seen mentioned here (forgive me if I'm wrong, of course) is the music in the film...the score is a masterpiece and some of the best classical music I have ever heard. It no doubt makes the movie what it is and it could not have been the same without it. If this is your thing then I also suggest buying the soundtrack - it takes you to so many places and is well worth having in your collection if you fancy a 'Ludlow' moment or just want to relax. It deserves to be heard on it's own as it raises so many feelings of your own - not just that of the film.

I hope this has been helpful. I can't begin to tell you how happy I am to have found this movie - it's definitely a 'can't stop watching' film.

5.0 out of 5 stars A film for everyone!! 5 May 2009
By Miss J. Precious
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Surprised myself at enjoying this film so much. This is a film for both men and women, very gritty, historical, interesting, action packed yet with an underlying love story running through the whole film. Anthony Hopkins is superb and the young Brad Pitt is exceptional, with a very moving performance.
Suitable for ages 15 and over, in my opinion, the film combines some history of the native American Indians,the second world war and all its repercussions and a love story which affects a whole family. Brilliantly narrated throughout, great cinematic photography and good dialogue. A classic film which you want to watch again.

5.0 out of 5 stars When there is nothing on the other side 3 Dec 2002
By "awilson157"
Format:DVD
This is a very heart warming movie, a lot of quality actors, (a very sexy Brad pitt with long hair), sibling rivilary, unrequited love, the heartbreak, reality, terror, and struggle of war alongside, life and love hardships. Not an action movie, but one for both sexes. Definitely worth a view!!
