Review of Jeremiah Johnson (1972) by Jenn S — 31 Dec 2005

'Jeremiah Johnson' is the story of a fronteirsman who lives in the mountains and befalls some hard times with the Native Americans. Although the cinematography/photography is good and some excellent music, the film's plot was too slow for my liking.

It's a very analytical story of the life of this man who lives in the mountains and his way of life, and it is a powerful film in that sense, but I failed to be captivated or really interested by this film.

I also thought that it was too long to sit through, and the story and the character just did not interest me enough. Unless you have a big interest in this era of history or have heard about the film and think you may like it, then you might, but it is slow.

I would compare it to films like 'Dances With Wolves', but it is not for everyone.
