Ten Bears (Will Sampson's character) is one of the scariest people I've seen in the movies. I'd sure hate to meet up with him on the trail. Mr. Sampson has passed a number of years ago. RIP, Mr. Sampson.
It's nice to see a movie with characters who speak such words of wisdom, and remark on the true nature of a government. The best thing about this movie is that it didn't pick sides, and blatantly reminds people that North was no better than the South, even though most textbooks like to pretend otherwise; it also showed who the real victims were-ranchers, Native Americans, and just about anyone else who cared more about keeping their families alive than who won the war.
What divides men are not the men themselves but the govt's that sit over these men. Move gov't out of the way along with it's force and coercion and peace will be the result. In the 21st century, the people of the middle east are the modern day native americans but this time instead of railroads, it's for oil!
@xavierpaquin If you believe government isn't the biggest perpetrator of chaos and death and injustice, you're delusion. The less government, the less coercion, the less force, the better.
The screenwriter of this movie is the best ever for Clint. So many truths and the dialogue was right on. Like a solid house, the foundation of anthing must come from the beginning, cement for a house...words for a movie.
The old ways were the best way. Now were all just slaves. If we don't work for someone, we don't eat. You're born free, but you live in slavery. Modern man suck!!!
this is a really good scene, because everyone was expecting a gun fight, but clint surprised most all the viewers by making peace. I think this influenced dances with wolves.
@VisionarysDomain - The Civil War ended 146 years ago. We won ! You and other southerners that share your frame-of-mind, need to get over it. It's people like you that hold this World back from going forward, and most importantly, it's people like you that make prejudices drag on and on and on.
@Lapp6192 Your accusation of VisionarysDomain is unfounded, that his comment is an untruthful statement (the confederacy no longer exists) is no excuse. However I can provide sanction for both of your positions. Yours, if directed to those that do wish the days of human slavery to return, and his if he truly believes in states rights as the 2nd Amendment expressly grants. He may be deluded that all of the confederates wished to exert their states rights in order to keep slavery. Grant him that.
@96RunningBear The story I think we all know! Wales was the ultimate soldier, but in the end he just wanted to find peace! long live the confederacy and death to Yankee scum!!!! this is coming from an Englishman.
I once heard from a roadie for Black Oak Arkansas that Jim Dandy didn't trust contracts. He demanded that someone look him in the eye and shake his hand. THAT was a contract!
(James 5:12) But before all things, my brothers, do not swear; neither by the heaven nor by the earth, nor any other oath. But let your yes be yes, and your no, no, lest you fall into condemnation.
Well everyone is allowed to have an opinion. Ten Bears says it best the North was goverened by the double tongued... and now it seems all politicians are doubled tongued. I wonder if the Southern leadership saw this also before the war started. People always cry about the slaves, I feel the Indians were the first slaves and suffered alot more than the black. But just like all wars this one was about MONEY not people, why cant anyone see that? If you can freely join why cant you freely leave?
It is harder than ever to find iron in the words of men nowadays. All that we hear is what they think we want to hear, weather it be true or false. Governments keep making promises they know they can't keep, then let them fall into an abyss of ignorance, never to be heard from again. Someday it will catch up with them, and they will be forced to relinquish the control they have over this country.. I hope I live to see the day..
I read somewhere years ago that when Josie says that we all died a little in that damn war (at the end of the movie), he (Clint Eastwood) was referring to Vietnam.
(James 5:12) But before all things, my brothers, do not swear; neither by the heaven nor by the earth, nor any other oath. But let your yes be yes, and your no, no, lest you fall into condemnation.
What crack are you on, you idiot fuck? I was trashing your bullshit religion, remember? I'm not quite sure why you have chosen to go off on this side tangent. I'm willing to bet it's because you are another dumb redneck fake like the redneck that wrote "Josey Wales". Is that the faker you're comparing me to? Yourself? I couldn't give a fuck what you think of my heritage, hick. Just keep your jesus to yourself. No one here has any money or land to steal, CHRISTIAN!
@satanicgrower People that have to use... PROFANITY.. as you did with the.. "F-word".... are.. Mentally Deficient and Morally Corrupt..! Your Speech... give You AWAY...! Oh you that speak with FORKED TONGUE!
Its very funny to see how you typed your last response. It looks like my use of the word FUCK must have hurt you pretty badly. You couldn't even type properly.
Btw, are you ever going to respond to me calling your religion out? We all know that christianity is a dead, false religion full of thevies. Anything to say? I guess not. Keep up with your misdirection.
That's what jesus does, he confuses the truth. How else can they steal our money?
My favorite scene of the movie,have seen it 50 times and it always brings a tear to my eye,what a shame the carnage white man bestowed upon the indians.YES,I am a white man........
The book was written by Asa Carter who was part Indian himself. Carter also wrote George Wallace's "segregation forever" speech. Strange World indeed. Its great how Eastwood uses bad grammar to address Ten Bears and gets a grammatically correct reply. Just the opposite of what you see in most westerns.
This scene defines the core message of 'The Outlaw Josey Wales.' All through the film, we have watched Josey in action, so that when he comes to treat with Ten Bears, we too know that his word of death is true, and that his word of life is also true.
Will Sampson is the coolest Indian Chief I ever saw.
"Well, I'm Josey Wales."
"I have heard."
Brilliant precis of a man's wild career in 3 words.
"No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men."
@Wobdifurousness Will Sampson, may he rest in peace on his reservation. Big man. I past him once in the hallway of the Beverly Hills hotel in 1983. Best western movie ever. My favorite.
They got along so good, cause they all got 1866 Yellowboys, Ten bears a carbine and the Indian on his left a Sportster. they all have them, a favorite weapon of the Apache Indian. Also called (The gun that won the west). Unless you own a 1873. LOL. Looks like it won the west in these spaghetti westerns? The best view of a Yellowboy is in the GoodtheBtheU. In the scene with save shorty from the rope. That has a period side scope.
This always makes me sad when I think, this is how men were mean to live, yet we do not. No iron in their words, lawyers, politicians, et al., so true. Men who pass through life as shadows never understanding what it means to truly live.
@LeCutter It makes me sad too! Im inthe British Army and seen good people die ! I feel indifferent now ! the GREY RIDER!! I think thats in all our hearts deep down!! NO MORE FUCKING DEATH!!!!!!!
@LeCutter For some reason Representative Weiner was the first name that came to mind with your statement, but that applies to so many of our other politicians as well~
Oh I just liked this movie when I saw it, nly once too but I remember it so well for some reason. It's probably one of my favorite westerns because I enjoy westerns. And I like 10 Bears in that other movie "One Few Over The Cuckoo's Nest." And you chose the best part of the movie to upload too. Hurray!! <3 AC
