Aside from modern conveniences such as a toilet with water in it, and unbarbaric medical technique and technology, there isn't much to desire about this modern era. To hell with modern manufacturing and the consumerism it induces in the common mind. We often find ourselves looking back to the time of Jeremiah Johnson for comfort, knowing that this was America as the founders would have wanted it. Free to own guns. Free to stake your claim. Free to live on a God Damn mountain if I fuckin' want to
My mom is from the old school. She introduced me to this years ago, and I have been in love ever since. And I have been a-searching for this movie online for ages. Thank you, stranger. You have made my millennium.
Mark my words fellow western lovers, the days of vampires and werewovles are numbered. The rise of Westerns--and not cowboys vs. aliens--is on its way.
THE BEST MOVIE EVER MADE!!!!!! needs to be redone in blue ray. fix up the picture a little bit. One thing I ever got about this movie, In the bigining jeremiak asks where to trap, the guy tells him to go west to the rockies them south?? why would he want south. North is where everything is, beaver, bear, muscrat? just never made sense to me
I remember when my mom rented this movie for me when i was 7 years old. since then i have wanted a muzzleloader rifle and finally at 17 i have achieved my dream.
@Herv3 Well good sir, there is a saloon just down the road out yonder the big bend. Look for Charlie Sheen he best show you all the best bear beaver available
I hope someon can answer this for me-in the next clip Johnson wakes up to find his horse frozen to death, but not his mule. Why didn't the mule freeze too? Do mules havea thicker coat to protect them from the cold? Just curious...
@emjee the coats of mules come in the same varieties of horses, what saved the mules was probably its better heat retention, being smaller makes them lose heat less and conserve energy better than larger horses, they're tough like donkeys and have some horse characteristics too.
"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."
Alright, the truth: He was called "Liver eating Johnson" because when he killed a Crow warrior, he'd cut out his liver and eat it. He was a fucking cannibal and that's a documented fact. Look it up.
@theScytheofGod apparenty he just faked to eat it he just cut it out and made it look like he did to humiliate the crows cause they did it to animals when they killed one but im not certain though thats just what i read
Don't ever get wet like minute 5:30. Never. It can kill you. Cold sucks the life out of you fast. The effects would be way way worse than what we see here. stay dry!
@IExposeMormonism You, my good friend, have never been starving and desperate lol. though you are right, the moment is trying to capture a once great man lowered to a state of sloshing around in water hoping for a bite to eat
@yomamallama1022 I've been been in sub zero weather for a few days but I was dry. And 2 days at -9f w/o food which is not too big a deal, we are a all a little fat. but water is a killer.
this is my favourite movie ever. Man i wish i was born back then I would have been a mountain man. I would have trapped beaver and would have died at the age of 32 if i was lucky by being killed by hopefully pneumonia or something.
great movie ,,a true test of 1,s self if i had no family i,d do it too we live our lives too heavily dependant on technology its gonna fail sooner or later that old man makes me laugh everytime i watch it
Was he some kind of guardian angel, it would have been nice if he could have intervened and helped Jeremiah's family, since he was obviously shadowing his movements for years. And at the end, to just put his hand in the air. And the look on Jeremiah's face, gritting his teeth at him. Was the native american really a physical body, or the wilderness in the form of a person?
@GradyBaby13 I think what makes that finale scene so powerful is that the Indian sees J.J. fumbling with a fish in the beginning and looks at J.J. as not surviving in the wilderness. But in the end, J.J. proves himself to be a mighty warrior. I believe the Indian is stretching his hand out as to say, "you've come a long way, you are a mighty warrior. Let's go in peace. The war(fight) is over." And when J.J. thinks about it and then extends his hand out, the fight(war) IS over. That is my take.
If you read The Rivermen (time Life series) this is a true story the crow killed the pregnant flathead wife of a Woodhawk and trapper called John "liver eating Johnson" so a feud ensued and they chose 20 of their best to kill him one on one is single combat he killed 18 of 20 before they struck a truce, that was some damn man!
Okay, well thats not mentioned in the history or the movie but I know from my reading they were feared as warriors, also if you look at other battles, like little big horn, the indians were better armed than the army having repeating rifles they acquired apposed to the army single shot, I suggest you read some history sometime.
why would i want to read history? the point we are discussing isn't mentioned in the history, according to you. the woman and the children must have been feared as warriors, as well. that must be why the whiteman declared total war on them. that brings me to the term, "indian giver." do you know that every treaty ever made with the native american, was broken by the whiteman?
I watched it yesterday in italian that is my language, it was the first time I watched it but now i'm here watching it in english because it's such a fantastic film and i want to listen to the original. I dream one day to go to America and see Jeremiah's place. Where are these places? Utah? Colorado? America is such a fantasic land...
Being of the same kin with Little Big Man (Arthur Penn`s),this movie shows an ongoing struggle of a man against a hostile environment through a merciless fate. He may even tame Nature here and there; yet to just go meeting the bitterness of dearest people and things so suddenly being swapped by a big nothing. But the man stands up. And his life silently flows. There`s no glamour in the tragedies of human species. Yet this movie merges a ruthlesss destiny with pure beauty, pervaded by fine music.
Youtube, Facebook, TV etc are not luxuries and they certainly arn't necessary. If you lived a life like this you'd be so much more peaceful, less anxious and alot healthier!
well if you call peaceful being chased by the Indians, shot at, constantly on the look-out, having your family killed, going hungry peaceful go ahead then. but you do have a point. Those days people were MUCH more resourceful and and a hell of a lot tougher.
I have already posted this same sentiment elsewhere, but THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS! This movie is flat out amazing! I haven't seen this since I was a kid and watched it with my dad. Thanks again!
Good, more people should see it, an excellent film. I was too young to remember it when it came out, but I think I saw it in 76 or 77, I was only around 5 or 6 but watched it with my dad as well.
congratulations! its time we celebrated this redford masterpiece. a genuine transcendental masterpiece. nothing has come close since. "that you be Johnson"
