Slowburn but one of Robert Redford's best role. A must watch!

A few questions first are you a fan of any genre when one of its films does not fit into a predetermined mold? Are you a fan of true heroes of the old west? Finally Are you a fan of that time between what we movie fans call classics and moderns? If your answer was yes to any one of these questions then this is truly a film for you. A small cast with a big punch one of those non-mold fitting films that truly stands out in a crowd. A film more real than most and more honest than any I've seen in a very long time. I rate this film a 41/2 out of five.

So I thought, Western with Robert Redford, how can you go wrong? Well, let's face it, for the most part you can't. Jeremiah Johnson is a beautifully shot movie, well acted and engaging. It is not, however, a 'feel good' movie (at least it wasn't for me). Jeremiah goes into the mountains to live off the land and meets misfortune, danger, and for a only a short time, peace. His encounters with the people he meets, from a crusty, old trapper to a tragic widow and son, to various native americans rarely turn out well, and would have had me heading back to the city as fast as I could go. But it was riveting at times and I was fascinated by how he survived. Well worth watching.

Great movie. Your drawn in to the life of a man that endures life as it comes and it isn't always an easy life.
