What a great romantic period in American history to make a movie about! In that era, before the great pioneer migrations, back when brave mountain men daily risked life and limb, death from aboriginal hostiles, brutal winters, starvation, etc, back when the American west was still like it had been for thousands of years, yet full of many nations of native peoples and when Buffalo was still abundant. Great screenplay, very well acted. Can't imagine living that life, in that time. Special flick!
Jeremiah Johnson was called "liver eatin' Johnson and was rumored to have killed over 40 Sioux (or crow) and yes, ate there livers, remarkable that in later life he bacame a member of the tribe and married one.
I love Jeremiah Johnson - I am always moved by some scenes in particular the one in which Jeremiah Johnson found out that the boy and the indian woman got killed. Robert Redford'as acting is top-notch. He's speechless and you can feel his deep pain and his face is so expressive. RR's performance is incredible. This film is very poetic in a way. Hi Tomcat ! lucky you you got Robert Redford to sign the original script. You have to tell me how you did that.I'd like to get something signed by RR.
Love this movie my favorite scenes are with Will Geer, how natural he was in the wilderness. This and Condor yes when they come on I have to stop and watch...
I have the Original Script to Jeremiah Johnson and recently had the luck of getting Robert Redford to sigh it for me when he was here in Savannah a few months back(doing the Conspirator)
Sydney, of all the great directors that come to mind, is perhaps the single most engaging and articulate in talking film and getting across the essence of what goes into making a film. I never tire of watching and listening to his interviews. He''ll always be remembered, thanks to clips like this one. Thanks for sharing.
One of my favorite movies!!!!!!!!! Pollack+Redford =Great combination!!!!Pollack was one of one the best directors of his time!!!!!!!!! (Also a good actor). I will miss the movies he will never direct.
this picture is a must see i have it in my dvd collection and i never get sick of watching it it was shot in colorado a must see buy dvd iy,s worth it sighed jed clamppet
you have been political without being political; romantic without being romantic; main stream without selling your ass. you gave us some unforgettable movies that we will not forget. with your legacy you contributed to say to who will follow "human beings can create art". thank you.
Is it just me or does this guy resemble the guy Kramer from the show Siendfield?? =-)

The late Sydney Pollack was from my hometown, South Bend, Indiana, but was also famous for stating the best thing he ever did was get out of it....

A great film up there with the Godfather, one thats worth having as a two disk collectors edition if they were ever to get one together.

@TOMCAT1955 Cool I worked with Redford on Condor, and in all honestly a really nice guy. Sid was GREAT to know.

Jeremiah Johnson perfectly captures that solitary feeling of being in the mountains and not seeing another person for miles.

It's melancholy from the start in that the opening score is in a minor key.
Very little dialogue.
Great movie.
