I think I’m getting a strong feeling about something. Legends of the Fall, through the wilder Mann character Tristan Ludlow, may be telling the story of Óðr before meeting Freyja and the Vanir. (Except Óðr was probably also a Bärensohn.) The rest I’ve teased out here and here, and elsewhere. The story’s basically a Norse Saga and Greek tragedy stitched together; plus, this would explain so much. (Though open other questions.)

I saw it once, to humour my wife. I remember it was technically good, but I was in my dipstick radical douchenbag phase from my early 20s and was snottishly proclaiming my lack of need for “evil” Hollywood and didn’t want to watch any movies ever.
