When the movie first begins the viewer sees an overview of the Montana highlands, a landscape comprised of hills that are studded with great boulders left behind by glaciers. He continues to fish the deep holes of the Big Blackfoot, and later writes, “I am haunted by waters.”Another crucial piece of the setting is the rugged terrain outside of the river valley. The river never stops being a part of Norman’s life. Norman Maclean in particular notices how much his brothers fishing style differs from his father and in this sees his brothers own uniqueness and individuality. While fishing they build a mutual respect for each other, as well as admiration and value. However a subtler example is the bonding of the two brothers.
