Awesome movie. I spent a long time learning that pencil trick after I saw it.

about the book and movie. I have been on this site quite a bit and finally figured I would dive in sign up. So first and foremost hello.

I am a big fan of the movie and that led to me reading the book, as well as other stories written by Norman Maclean. I figured I would add to the promotion of the film, the book, and any of his other works. There are some poignant words in both the reading and the movie and it gives a good insite into the Scottish American character as Maclean often references the Scottishness of his family. with that I will leave with two quotes; the first from the book, the second from the movie, although the words are taken from the book it is altered slightly in the film dialogue.

"No Scottish mother likes to be caught with a lazy son in bed, and no Scot going fishing likes to stand around waiting for a male relative with a hangover. Although the Scots invented whiskey, they try not to acknowledge the existence of hangovers, especially within the family circle."

Rev. Maclean: "Each one of us here today will at one time in our lives look upon a loved one who is in need and ask the same question: We are willing help, Lord, but what, if anything, is needed? For it is true we can seldom help those closest to us. Either we don't know what part of ourselves to give or, more often than not, the part we have to give is not wanted. And so it those we live with and should know who elude us. But we can still love them - we can love completely without complete understanding."
