One Sentence Movie Reviews: “Legends of the Fall”
Legends of the Fall (1994): "Any movie with horses and a grand historical sweep this reviewer will invariably think is a metaphor for the American character."
Notes: I've been intrigued by director Ed Zwick's career since hearing an interview with him on KCRW's "The Treatment." May now work my way through his filmography, beginning with Defiance.

He won my riveted respect with Glory, deepened it with The Last Samurai and frittered it away with Defiance.

Scott,
That’s very interesting. I could take or leave TLS and liked Defiance quite a bit. Zwick seems to operate from a common set of principles (large scale, big stars, themes of loyalty and honor) but is a bit scattershot in how well he executes them.
