Review of Jeremiah Johnson (1972) by Bill C — 10 Sep 2010
Johnson was really a turning point where Redford turns from being a Hollywood tool to being an actor/man apart from the rest. The story follows him as a beginning mountain man to the point where he becomes a myth.
Through his trials in the movie he becomes more and more one with the land. He befriends certain meso-american tribes, but becomes a trial for young men becoming braves for other tribes. As a measuring stick of his growth Will Geer plays a Older Mountain man Grizzly Claw.
The meet several times in the movie many years apart. Kevin Costner really tries to reincarnate the feel of this movie when he made Dances with Wolves, however the cinematography and acting are a pale comparison.
