RISE film review
Rise
This past week I was sent an early copy of the new film, Rise. In 2008 The film, Drift was released and it was highly acclaimed and this film is no different. I think Rise takes it to the next level with the cinematography and how in depth the stories are.This is a great documentary and I will find myself spending many cold, winter days watching this and dreaming of some time going to these great places.
We all have a story and this film does a great job bringing each individual’s story to life and with the combination of incredible footage of the environment and landscape, all done in HD, it is hard not to be drawn in. In the new film Rise, they show a few who have made fishing their lifestyle and passion. Their stories will capture you and you can feel the passion and enjoyment of what they do by hearing it in their voices.
My favorite part of Rise is the segment called “Angler’s Paradise.” I particularly enjoyed this section because it’s about three different generations running a lodge and making fly fishing their way of life. I liked how it described the history of Angler’s Paradise and that it is was the first fishing lodge in Alaska.
“We fish because it is fun,” are the final words spoken by the narrator in the fly fishing film Rise. All of us who chase fish know, that is why we all do it and Rise shows you just how fun it can be.
