Paper Summary:

This paper outlines and analyzes the relationships of the characters in the movie, "Legends of the Fall". The writer shows how each individual character is connected to all the others and the changing of those relationship throughout the film. The relationships covered in this heavy drama include man and woman, man and brother, father and son, and more.

From the Paper:

"Set in the Rocky Mountains of Montana in the early 1900s, The Legends of the Fall is a tale of love, betrayal, and brotherhood. After being discharged, Colonel Ludlow (Anthony Hopkins) decides to raise his three sons in the wilds of Montana, where they can grow up away from the government and society he has learned to despise. There are several different relationships in the film and are each developed as the story progresses. I intend to separate them into several chronological groups, the first being the relationship of the boys growing up and their family life."
