Jeremiah Johnson

Pros: Redford, Direction, Photography, Supporting Cast
Cons: A little long, but interesting.

I recently watched two films treating the subject of man against the wilderness: Aguirre, the Wrath of God and Jeremiah Johnson. I liked them both, but of the two admittedly very different films, I found Jeremiah Johnson more ...

Pros: The scenery, acting and directing were all very good.
Cons: None

[Jeremiah finds Del Gue buried in the sand] Jeremiah: Indians put you here? Del Gue: Well, it weren't Mormons. Blackfoot name a Mad Wolf, nice enough fellow, don't talk a whole hell of a lot. Jeremiah Johnson (1972) ...

Pros: ...
Cons: ...

I always enjoyed the movie Jeremiah Johnson for its pure simplicity and the depth Robert Redford gave to the main character.  However, on further study, I have found that several of the characters portrayed in the movie were actual people and ...

Pros: Escapism at its best
Cons: Too violent for young viewers

Do balding, overweight, middle-aged desk jockeys dream of chunking it all, moving to the mountains and hiding away from society for the rest of their days? Yes, they do, and so Robert Redford, in concert with Sidney Pollack in 1972, provided a vehicle...

Pros: Great acting, cinematography, history lesson
Cons: 0

Jeremiah Johnson was released in 1972 and was one of the best westerns I have ever seen. Not only was it a good story, with good acting, the cinematography was breathtaking.

Jeremiah before becoming a legend, is a drifter, a loner, running...

Pros: Cinematography
Cons: May be a little slow for some

I've seen "Jeremiah Johnson" perhaps a dozen times. If you believe in reincarnation, you'll understand why. Despite, cold, hunger and the ever present possibility of death, the appeal of the life of the fur trappers of the early 1800's has...

Pros: Good mountain man film
Cons: Nothing but the length of it.

There's only one thing wrong with this movie, it's too long, and in places boring, but then it's about a recluse, a mountain man, so what do we expect.
Robert Redford does a better job by Jeremiah Johnson than Costner ever did with "Dances with...

Pros: beautiful, awe-inspiring, powerful
Cons: violent, tragic, doesn't move at modern explosion-every-3-seconds pace (actually its best "pro")

This is the best film Robert Redford ever made, and one of the best films I've ever seen about the frontier life.

The film grows on one over time. It is one of the very, very few films that seems to get better with repeated viewings. It is...

Pros: Best Mountain Man Movie Ever
Cons: Ain't Any

Bow drills and fire beds don't show up in movies very often, so when they do, ya best pay attention.... This isn't a "western" -- it's a "mountain man" movie. No cowboys pushin' dogies across the flatlands, but plenty o' true grit,...

Pros: Robert Redford is at his best.
Cons: Redford isn't married to me.

As a woman, this movie, which came out the year I was graduating high school (1973) isn't considered a "Chick Flick" even if Robert Redford is the star. Still, women who, like many men, dream of the wild west and when things were simpler will love this ...

Pros: Excellent Scenery, Solid Acting, and Great Story. Not Just for "Western" fans... this really ISN'T a Western; it's More of a Period Piece!
Cons: None

I've seen this movie several times in my life, the first time on the big screen with my Father when I was 12 or 13. While I liked the movie then, I've grown to love it; it's become a personal favorite of my wife & I.

Robert Redford plays...

Pros: variety of struggles Jeremiah Johnson faces
Cons: too violent for younger children.

I don't think of Jeremiah Johnson as a western, but as a survivor movie. Johnson confronts Indians, the elements and discrimination with endurance and intelligence.I like seeing Robert Redford in this part. In most of Redford's roles, his...

Pros: beauty, a return to simpler times
Cons: not much dialogue

I bought this movie on DVD after seeing the other positive epinions about it. I thought that the scenery was great, the acting was okay (there wasn't enough dialogue to necessitate much acting), but it was the realism that impressed me the most....

Pros: scenery
Cons: length

This movie first caught my attention when I was very young. It lured me deep into it's folds; with it's beauty,adventure, and deep emotional struggles.
The scenery is breath taking drawing one into it with smells, sounds, and feelings...
