Jeremiah Johnson: A Life Doomed & Forever Hunted

[@claudejohnson419]

Still one of the best westerns ever made! Wish they still made them like that.

[@kls2020]

Liver eat'n Johnson ? They can't it would offend too many people today .

[@TedHall-k7v]

The best ever made. For Redford and westerns - period!

Saw it with my cousin Ronnie when I was in high school and couldnt get enough of it. That was 73 or so.....50 goddamn years later its still at the top of the list of my all time favorites.

[@BAD_A_MOTHER_F]

A most underrated film - bloody excellent !!

[@dalehood1846]

It is so interesting to me that these mountain men lived and survived on pretty much everything they had with them. My father who was born in 1907, said if they didn't have a good year trapping beaver to resupply themselves at rendezvous. They would spend the summer months gathering the roots of cattails and dry them and pound them into flour. There was no going into town to get supplies if they didn't have any money. No government handouts. You lived and survived by the grace of God and your skills. Game couldn't always be counted on as a source of food. Even Lewis and Clark encountered that. I have read some of their journals. Plants and possibly trading, if you had anything to trade. It was a different time and possibly a time that I fear might happen again. Look at the empty shelves in some of the other countries. We as a nation need to get back to a place of self reliance. Stay safe and all the best and may God bless.

Bit of a challenge with early 400 million people

[@HeronPoint2021]

my four American grandparents all homesteaded in Canada....with nothing...in an area of NW Ontario where minus 50 below for three weeks was common. No large game, as it was first growth pine forest. But you DID have a cash cow: the railroad would pay at railhead (two days travel on toboggan; LARGE toboggan) for ties. Breakfast was Eastern Grey squirrel, much more meat than shoeshoe hare. I'm not that tough.

[@mikecimerian6913]

Narration is sung. Quite unique.

[@darrellowings2343]

This movie is fascinating me lately. I need to watch it all. It's one of the few of its type and era that is lasting. Redford is a brilliant actor. To be that handsome and be able to do a role like this he'd have to be for his looks to not be distracting or him to be too vapid. One doesn't pull off a role like this without substance as a person. I love how they decided to not have him ever do any overkill. Even though he's tormented and damned he still has a peace about him.

[@williamkeck7378]

ABSOFLIPPINLUTELY one of my most favorite movies, EVER!!👍😊👌

[@jesswebb5261]

This is great movie. It depicts the life of a mountain man pretty well

[@boobalooba5786]

This film has left a longing to leave this modern life with all its convenience behind to try my luck at living off the land. Life today feels more like being a pet, we have food and water and shelter and none of it is hard to come by, but the struggle of life is what defines us and taking that away truly reduces us to less than human in my eyes. May God see fit to send me off into the wild to meet my end.

[@sbolfing]

[@johnshields9110]

I saw this movie in Spring of 1973, and made a trip out to the Northwest to the Worlds Fair in Spokane Washington in the Summer of 1974. The movie made a grand impression on me, and I took in as much of the mountain territory in CO, MT, WY as I could during my back packing adventures during this trip. As corny as it may sound, I bought a T/C 50 caliber Hawken rifle later in 1974 and joined a black powder shooting club. I still have the rifle today, and yes I've harvested game with it, plus shot many a X dead through at 50 yards. Though, let me point out, when loaded with a maximum load of powder and the heaviest lead mini style ball, it kicks a mule, via the sold brass curved butt stock. That load would kill a grizzly bear, but I indeed to try to get at 54 Caliber for that exact reason, so both Jeremiah and I had to settle for what we could get!

[@mcbridecreek]

I bought a T/C .50 hawken kit and built it in 1983. You are right, with maxi balls (370gr) and 80 grains of black powder, it kicks like a mule. I still have it.

[@Ymirson999]

He may have realized his fate as a hunted man, but he made no effort to avoid it either. Presumably he still wanted vengeance for his slaughtered wife and the boy he more or less adopted for his son. There was the scene where he ran into the other mountain man who used to shave his head. When they made camp for the night, the other mountain man, knowing that Johnson was being hunted, lightly ridiculed Johnson's choice of camp site, being that it was so out in the open. Sure enough, they were attacked by a Crow brave moments later. But Johnson never hid and could have avoided the range and territory of the Crow completely by merely relocating to a different place in the West, perhaps West of the Rockies. But he never did. Whether it was a death wish or merely a sense of unfulfilled vengeance, he didn't simply walk away or at least be more cautious. He openly courted the the attacks of the braves sent out to kill him.

[@jenniturtleburger3708]

Jeremiah’s main tactic when fighting seemed to be just running straight at and crashing into his opponent.

[@Bikedueder]

Half of the battle is getting someone off of their feet, and his approach was pretty effective.

[@gypsy0032]

They weren't exactly fighting with swords.

[@JohnBowmar-o2g]

No cgi necessary for this. Just great actors and fantastic writers.

[@BeautifuLakesStreamsBiologists]

I consulted on this pond decades after the movie was made. It was great to see it form back then.

[@charlesmiller6281]

Much is made of the years of ambush attacks. But watching the movie recently I was surprised how late in the story this happened. By far the most part was simply the struggle of surviving the wilderness. The solitude. And when finally love and relationship came, just how fragile a thing it is. His most enduring relationship was with the teacher, and so apart from mankind yet in tune with the moment and living in nature neither one of them could name the month of the year.

Becoming a mountain man was not a good choice to keep from dying probably 30 times and the loses he endured and the winters of always struggling to stay alive but living in the civilization was worse for him to endure, i mean did he come from East LA or something

[@mcbridecreek]

He served in the civil war. He had been living in Montana and had been a town marshal. At around 60, his health started to decline. He went to a Veterens Hospital in South CA. He died and was buried there. Later, his body was moved and re-buried in Cody WY.

[@caractacusbrittania7442]

I wonder whether this was based on turner, His whole family massacred by commanche, he spent the next 15 years tracking commanche warriors, and killing them one by one. He killed well over 50 A withdrawn and sullen disposition, bought on by the loss of his wife and little ones, he only smiled once in all that time.

[@peterpowder8546]

Didn’t he make peace with the Indians at the very end of the movie? They looked at each other from a far and the Indian put his hand up and Jeremiah Johnson, with a relieved look in his face, put his hand up as well. Didn’t that imply that the hunting was over.
