Review of Jeremiah Johnson (1972) by Bryan W — 04 Oct 2013
What an incredible movie. I decided to watch it because of how cool Robert Redford looked in a promo picture that I ran across somewhere, but I didn't expect it to be one of the most powerful and thought-provoking movies I've seen. It was filmed entirely on location in the mountains of Utah and in several national parks and forests, and the scenery is unlike anything that's in movies now, where the locations are almost always digital effects (check out the ILMVisualFX YouTube channel and you may be surprised).
Clint Eastwood was supposed to play the main character, but he couldn't get along with the director so they replaced them with Robert Redford and Sydney Pollack. (Clint made Dirty Harry instead).
