* BittersweetEnding: The story lands somewhere between this and a DownerEnding. [[spoiler:Paul is murdered offscreen over his gambling debts, which leaves their parents devastated and Norman says they barely spoke of it afterwards. Norman, on the other hand, marries Jessie and has a family, living a full life to an old age... except that he also outlives his wife and most, if not all, of his friends, so his story kind of turns out sad as well. The movie finally ends with him as an old man, fishing alone in a river, while the narration monologues about the serenity of fly fishing and the timelessness of water.]]
