[RipCruncher1]

This movie is just painfully beautiful.

[dictionaryzzz]

that fat indian was like what the fuck crazy ass white boy

[farmer07089]

that is one fat Indian tryin to run away

[pcb64668]

my reaction is gratitude for someone adding this as they keep removing links and the part i wanted was the verse about searching in vain...running down your time....explains a lot of what was meant to be between them,and left as is.

[Picabitwest]

@pcb64668 This ought to be regarded as one of the greatest films ever made - certainly one of the greatest American movies. It's certainly Pollack's greatest and he deserves real and deep respect for putting it together. Gratitude is the right way to feel.

[cew1965]

@Picabitwest it IS regarded as such

[tchimmerroks]

Did the Crow kill Swan and Caleb as retribution for Jeremiah leading the soldiers through the burial ground, or was it just the "big medicine" working against him?

[gbpackfan89]

@tchimmerroks to be honest caleb was never alive it is something that they added in the movie, however in real life his indian wife was pregnant at the time that she was killed by the indians. Once this happened the crow and johnston started a 20 year war where they would send 1 warrior at a time. He killed over 300 crows until they gave up and finally made peace.

[roadrodent1952]

@gbpackfan89

Being a killing machine for 20 years would seem to be a hard "habit" to get out of.

[jkrtr56]

Payback's a bitch........

[hermit1249]

The fight in the swamp is awesome, bull elk bugling in the background. a real high country sound............

[ModestBandit]

That's real RAGE!

[Budguy68]

@mustwinder

Better to have let him go IMHO

This Indian ended up telling other indians and JJ become famous and immortal. In the beginning of the movie it was said the JJ was feared and known by indians

[anonyms404]

With all teh great comments, everyone has said everything that can be said about how wonderful this scene is. But one thing no one has said: Why didn't Jeremiah kill the last Indian who was singing his death song? When I was a kid, I thought maybe he felt sorry for him or maybe it was enough killing or maybe he was no match. But now, I've read many tribes left the last man alive so he'd go back to his own tribe to tell the tale of woe. Can anyone with more expertise explain or opine?

[theScytheofGod]

@anonyms404 You know, in real life, Johnson killed them, scalped them, and ate their livers. Documented fact.

[anonyms404]

@theScytheofGod - true ...so they say, so they say, although the liver eatin' part - from which he was also named "Liver Eatin' Johnson" has been, has been argued amongst historians on whether it ever happened, happened only once maybe, or was, in fact, the case. I'll leave all that up to those who straighten real history out. What I was trying to say though is, simply for film-making and story-telling purposes ...the end of this scene was left a little ambiguous. (other scenes too).

[drumminghunter]

i love the sound of the bugeling elk in the background!

[sheepsfoot2]

put the wind up you...wouldnt it...a lone enemy walking into your camp like that....

[roblynchjr]

where ya headed? same place you are Jerimiah.......Hell in the end.

[roblynchjr]

same place you are Jerimiah......Hell in the end. Great quote. Says it all

[JUNO43]

the greatest mountain man of all time Jeremiah Johnson

[JUNO43]

justice is served

[roblynchjr]

I love Del...He's the man



[brasmi]

lovely said

[chilton189]

ok earlier he had the revolver when he killed the indians with the bald guy and now he keeps having that old pistol

[2210ethan]

@chilton189

I don't think he ever has a revolver, does he?

[roblynchjr]

@2210ethan at one point he does

[2210ethan]

@roblynchjr

When?

[roblynchjr]

@2210ethan

at 7:54 of this video. He pulls it out only to get hit in the hand and drop it. that's the only apperance of his revolver that I know of. If you blink you could miss it.

[2210ethan]

@roblynchjr

Looks more like a flintlock to me.

[roblynchjr]

@2210ethan

True. I thought that's what you meant. Pistol, side arm. Either way great film. Nice to talk to someone else who agrees

[2210ethan]

@roblynchjr

likewise. Love this movie! 'The Edge' and 'Into the Wild' also.

[rentatrip1]

@chilton189 this is all set in or about 1820' thru 1830 ...

If they used Cap Loader Hawkin as the "best" Rifle for Mountain ...

then cap loader pistol is also the best -

this is a time before the invention of

repeating arms-

[Viperkal]

One of the greatest revenge sequences ever filmed!

[GGla45]

1:05 is just beautiful

[piscean60]

god forgive me but I love that one-armed

shot-gun blast..and how he finally sleeps after it's all over

and just to throw my two bits in, i think facial hair works better for him - in this

movie anyway

[NoEminator]

MAN ROAR

[JUNO43]

some indians tribes used war paint. it was used during battle. it made them feel for fierce. but not all indians tribes used war paint.

[jerumd]

At 8:15 makes him a true mountain man.

[cholulasaucehot]

i couldnt argue your point.....who could ?

dont we both wish in some demented sort of way we could have led johnson's life the same in these crazy old times ?

do we really know who we are ?

in this modern world we live in.......i just dont think so.....a lot of pain back then livin this life.......but with the pain came certain reward..to have found out what it was to live off the fat of the land expierence fear and joy the quest for life, someone sad we today will never expierence it...

[jerumd]

Yes, thats true. None of us would've experienced, what he had experienced in these mountains. Every body knows that the harsh reality of life, "ain't no rainbows, nor sunshine." Encountering these problems are routinely in a day to day basis. No one can imagine keeping your sanity in check , if anybody experienced what he had experienced.

[jss12u]

i think the fat indian's death song is a little funny

[laccio1984]

it's not funny, it's poetic

[mistysnowymadness]

"Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.... When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home." --Tecumseh, Shawnee chief

[norcalballa23]

it'd be a better quote if he just said, Same place you are Jeremiah, hell.

[rkhale01]

i think he would have to worry about another group of indians more than crows

[squishy951]

nice... the beards back.. .

[MickeyLove01]

So translate then, was he apologising and asking to save his ass?

[holdstheenemy]

well he's sing his Death song, He saying " that hes ready to die and go on to the next life"

[DocCarebear]

I am curious, what is the reasoning for the face painting throughout most of the movie? Does this have some meaning other than during war time? Forgive my ignorance.

[holdstheenemy]

well in tha movie the face paint it does mean nothing. it just HOLLYWOOD! but there are some familys out there that have paints. and the one i have. you need the rights to wear it. its like that with most familys. but in the moive its just for show.
