Legends Of The Fall

[aristotle]

Beautiful landscapes and scenery. Hunting and fishing in the American West. A love triangle (or quadrangle) underscores the entire plot. Life interrupted by war. War interrupted by life.
Most interesting to me was the fanatical bond of family loyalty portrayed by patriarch Anthony Hopkins and his three sons. Having grown up under the tutelage of a strong-willed father, my two brothers and I could relate to this movie.

I knew Hopkins was a fine actor, but was surprised at Brad Pitt's superb performance. It would be great fun to go fishing out West. Anybody know where this film was shot? US or Canada?
