The river belonged to us, and we to it, like a cathedral no hand of man could ever build. This is as close as a sinner like me will ever come to the face of God.

精彩的法庭戲：
Young blood does not obey an old decree. We cannot cross the cause why we were born. Let us lose our oaths to find ourselves, or we will lose ourselves to keep our oaths.
From Shakespeare Love's Labour's Lost

表白段，對于自然與文學(xué)的深厚知識都是為了把女人搞到手的么……
-A smaller man could never hold your interest. As I am, I adore you.
-How well you show it.
-What would you have me do, hmm? What would you have me do? To gild refined gold, to paint the lily, to throw perfume on the violet, to add another hue into the rainbow? Wasteful and ridiculous, excess.

I, Ward Allen, may have been wrong. Before you check to see if the fire of hell has been turned to ice, let me emphasize that I would do, or have done, nothing different in my life. But it seems that perhaps our world met a fork in the road, and the world took one path, and I took the other. Perhaps this is an inevitable result, and each of us are doomed to find ourselves on a path alone in the end, especially those of us who find the world as it was to be a close to perfect place. Those who accepted that the affairs of men are like those of a river, where time and tide are the ultimate shapers of a life, where procreation, migration and even death are spokes of the same wheel, that turns in heaven's vault just the way it should. But there are others who are determined to reshape that wheel and turn back the tide, and they appear ready to do it. Maybe they are right, representing as they do, an impulse in the breast of man that drives our species toward restless industry. Maybe we are here to remake everything, reshape everything, create our new idea of perfection, and leave God's idea to the dim shades of history. And maybe I, having fought against that new idea, rejected that idea, found that idea abhorrent, maybe I was wrong. But I do not think so. Because I believe if we have grown as a species, it has been because of the test of wildness, and if we succeed in remaking wildness into mildness, then we will begin to diminish. But all I have accomplished, is a broken knuckle or two, and hurting myself and my own more than those who are the target of my calumny. So perhaps I'd do better to take my pokes on these pages and take direction from the Bard "Let there be gall enough in thy ink". It's worth a try.

最后這段太感動了……
I've written dozens of articles on shooting and twice more than that lambasting the damn fool game laws. I probably know more quotes from English letters than any man, save an Oxford don. I can tell you the name, use, colour and disposition of a dozen type of feathers, and at least that many species of waterfowl. I have a collection of Confederate money I saved myself, beginning before the war ended, and a lifetime of practical experience, having virtually no value in the world today. 50 years on the river I love, and the damn thing has washed me up on the bank of a city I no longer recognize, inhabited by people I don't remember inviting here. All those arguments won, and now it seems I've misplaced my winnings. So be it. This is where I pulled my skiff.

The important thing about a man's death is how it reflects his life, if it was on his own terms and if there was some meaning in it.

景色很美，法律卻不美。
關(guān)于美國狩獵的法律：
第一，關(guān)于射殺15只的限額。 因為鴿子是屬于候鳥。它們每年在天氣變冷前會南移。美國政府每年會對鴿子數(shù)量進行預(yù)測。 根據(jù)數(shù)量的多少來定射殺限額。

第二，根據(jù)政府預(yù)測的打獵證的銷售情況來定限額。這樣每個獵人有比較均等的機會看到獵物，進而有射到的機會。不然的話，有人心里悶氣，明年不去買打獵證了。

第三，為什么只能裝3發(fā)子彈？因為你必須給獵物一個逃跑的機會。不然的話，明年的鴿子數(shù)量就會減少許多。

6.6分。男主角是一位獵手，他用他的機智逃過了法律的制裁，但卻逃不了因果的報應(yīng)：孩子命沒了，老婆健康沒了，最后自己也自殺了。主角如果平時帶老婆出來親近大自然，而不是只顧和好友去獵鴨的話，是不會導(dǎo)至那凄涼的結(jié)果的。主角最后沒有對鴨子開槍，并自殺，也許是醒悟過來，并自殺來懺悔吧，但電影并沒有表達出這一點意思。

      “典型的文藝片，意境遼闊，音樂致美，風(fēng)景如畫，對白精致?！闭缬捌膭∏楹喗橐粯樱@幾個字真的能概括影片了。
    看著影片一邊欣慰的歡笑，一邊又為男女主人公的命運唏噓。
    雖然做不了貴族，但自己也是很向往這種生活，這種與大自然融為一體的感覺不是誰就能這樣隨隨便便找到。應(yīng)該說女主角是真正懂得男主角的人，而男主角也是真正了解女主想要什么樣的生活。他們雖然經(jīng)常拌嘴，女主還把男主送進監(jiān)獄，但那應(yīng)該是被他們看作是打情罵俏了吧，不幸的是最終兩個人的下場有些凄慘，不過在我看來男主也算是求仁得仁了吧。
    如果有下一個明天，兩人還會在一起。
