I saw this movie at a tiny movie theater in Lake Tahoe. With my brother and dad. I was 11. Tonight is a September evening in 2024 and I am 52. A true classic 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@roderickrayrutledge2740]

I was 22 when this movie changed my direction in life in 1984.🙏♥️

[@TheMrrabbit1968]

I am 56 and only just found it tonight. Superb film, I'm glad I saw it with years behind me. I live in Cambodia now & it kind of breaks my heart because of all the illegal logging & wildlife poaching here that is wiping out already rare species. People talk of climate change as humanity's own private crisis, watching this film reminded me that we are the world's total crisis.

[@TexasHill]

I was 9 when this movie came out. My step dad took me, my brother and my mom to see it at our local movie theatre. I haven't seen it since, but remembered it all my life as one of the best movies I ever saw but couldn't remember the name of it. When I saw the thumbnail, I wondered if it was that same movie I saw as a kid. I just turned 50, and now I'm watching it again. I'm glad to see there are other here like me. Cheers guys !🍻🍻🍺

I was 18 in 1983. A year later I moved into my first apartment. My roommate rented a VHS player with this movie and we were both simply mesmerized at the images and the telling of the story. The world lost him to a motorcycle accident a few years later. It's now 2024 and I'm finally able to watch this film for the second time. Such a flood of memories, both good and bad. I don't think I'll wait so long to watch it a third time. RIP Kenneth Max "Wally" Mahler.

I was 18 and homeless when this came out. I had enough for a ticket, but no snacks. I offered to clean the theatre for some popcorn and a coke. The girl gave me a hot dog as well and let me watch until the theatre closed so I could dry. It closed in 87’. The last movie was La Bamba. I worked there 4 years. She was the owners daughter and went away to college. He passed in 87’ and the theatre bldg was sold. The entire block became a strip mall.

And I imagine some reactor will say, "Gee - just imagine a good film in 1980-!!"

[@grahampovey8073]

This is the true story of Farley Mowatt. I read his book 'Never Cry Wolf' many years ago when I was just a kid. Long before my own solo adventures into the winter mountains with my old Huskamute, 'Shadow'.

[@bandini22221]

I'd like to hear about that adventure with Shadow. I have a Husky/Malmute/Wolf, too.

[@bandini22221]

What a rare gem to find! I was 29 in 1983 and we watched it in the theater and I remember arrogantly thinking I could have done a better job. After all, I was in my natural prime in a small town in the Midwest and yearning for adventure and stupidly thinking I would live forever. I'm 70 now and get out of breath walking to the kitchen and realize I wouldn't last 5 minutes in the arctic. What a change of perspective the passage of time makes in a man's life. I hope Charles has had a good life. In the movie, his character never returned to civilization and, in real life, he spent 3 years filming this project during which for most of it, he said he was the only actor there. He said it was the loneliest movie he ever made. It also changed his life and he decided to to stay, and made his home in British Vancouver. Anyway, thanks for uploading this masterpiece.

In addition, Charles Martin Smith is such a rich, interesting + creative personality. Never understood he didn't get more recognition from both the mainstream audience and the Hwood industry. 🎬 A MUST-SEE MASTERPIECE, GUYS.

[@musamor75]

fabiengerard8142 The answer to your question is in the question itself. How could a decent, clean, and unassuming gentleman like Charles Martin Smith flourish in a wicked, perverse industry, based on sex, crime, drugs, and unhealthy living? As to the mainstream audience, if truth be told, they are usually a bunch of idiots. But yes, this fine gentleman deserves plenty of merit. However, rare gems are only appreciated by the few. What a beautiful film- I am blown away by its purity and breathtaking landscapes.

[@mikemiller8975]

Also government guy on starman movie

[@Cbcw76]

I'd never paid attention to CMS in his earlier work - "Just another oddball face littering the background..." was the zenith of my consideration for him. "Just a supporting character - yada yada - who cares? What's HE done FOR ME?!!" ha ha... and then THIS tiny, puny, overlooked or UNconsidered film. Wow. As I dove into older films, I'd discover Franklin Pangnorne (the perennial clerk in almost all of his films), Jerome Cowan (who was Sam Spade's murdered partner in MALTESE FALCON) and dozens of other 'background' characters whose faces landed in hundreds of films. "Just supporting actors" - but on rewatching those, they are often critical in moving scenes along. Few of those (Jerome Cowan, Charles Martin Smith) were given full films to 'run', to star in, to drive forward... and they always do! "How many more hidden jewels are there in film history?"

[@cattymajiv]

I loved American Graffitti, and Star Man with Jeff bridges and Karen Allen. Both were great movies!

[@Cbcw76]

@@cattymajiv I don't rewatch STAR MAN very often, but it is almost a complete charmer... hardly any scene fails: even Karen's eyes as she sees Jeff "grow" - she's in total disbelief but she understands what's happened. And IS fearful. But not exactly terrified - she keeps seeing ways to escape but - is it the deer-rejuvenation scene and parking lot punch - where she gives up HER fears and realizes his? Just a fantastic sequence, and she delivers that soooo well. I know GRAFITTI's soundtrack kills it on KZbin reactions, but STAR MAN's seems perfectly fit for film fans that don't need Wickian body counts.

@@buzz5969 And audiences, which partly reflect society as a whole, have become SO much more shallow minded. Personally I can't sit for long to watch any action movie, nevermind the extreme stupidity they put out now nearly exclusively. But many people are too young to ever have been exposed to really good films as being the norm. There has always been a lot of garbage too, but not like now, where few filmmakers even bother striving to make truly good movies. They just don't care. It's a very lucrative business. Yet people are forced to let their kids be exposed to that onslaught of violence and stupidity, so that those kids will be able to understand it and cope with it, and its effect on others. The problem is that they too are affected so negatively by them. It's an unsolvable dilemna.

If you can find the books, read Farley Mowat’s “Never Cry Wolf”, “The Desperate People”..He wrote others also. This true story took place in the 1920’s, while the author was serving in the Canadian Air Force. I will never be the same in my thoughts about wolves, and will never understand why anyone would want to kill off such a magnificent animal..they are still trying to.

[@davidschmidt270]

I've always been fascinated with them. Have you ever seen that show where the guy integrates himself into the wolf pack( typing it out sounds kinda silly) ? ... One thing that stuck in my mind is what he said that anytime he got hurt, even when one time he went and got stitches, the wolves of the pack he belonged to took them out...licked the wound and it actually got better!!!

I've loved wolves since I was a little Cherokee kid. Like we Tribal people, wolves don't have disposable pack members. I even got to feed a wolf pack in captivity once. I was with the woman in charge, a wolf biologist. I helped her wheel in their food. I was so careful about not disrespecting the Alpha male. He still was very wary of me. My head was down, eyes down, we left their food and got out of their enclosure. The biologist told me the Alpha's mate was paying too much attention to me. I had forgotten that my Irish Wolfhound had left her scent all over my clothes. I'm sure that was the problem. Wolves are incredibly intelligent animals. Never underestimate their smarts. Love this film and Charles Martin Smith is great in it.

[@matthewbooth9265]

I have been a wolf handler in the uk for nearly 20 years and I became one because i wanted to understand the animal and not the myths about the animal. Though that journey is nearly at an end sadly, the last wolves being 13 now and no more will be coming to replace them, it has been a wonderful journey. Wolves have their ways and keep their own council but if they tolerate you and allow you to pet them, then you are a lucky soul indeed. The movie is amazing and heart breaking at the same time. I wish I could go back to the 80's for so many reasons.

[@cattymajiv]

I've read many, but not all, of Farley Mowatt's books. They were all just great. He was a very unique and interesting man, an incredible writer with amazing diversity, and a true Canadian in the old sense, before we became totally subsumed by America. His books are amazing, and this adaptation is incredibly well done. What fantastic photography! David Lean was the first director to use landscape as a big part of the story, Lawrence of Arabia being the best example, but he has well and truly been outdone here by such spectacular cinematography. And not just the large landscape shots. It baffles me how even trained animals could be so well captured by a camera as to fit to to the narrative so well. They must have had to take a great many extra hours of film, in a time and place where that was immensely expensive. I believe I've never seen anything so beautiful, and I can't believe it took me until the age of 64 to finally see it. This is a must see film! And huge thanks to the person who posted it!

From the eyes of man comes destruction, from the eyes of nature comes peace! ❤

[@barrywainwright3391]

True. But nature can be a destructive force to reckon with too.

[@mountainman9606]

@barrywainwright3391 nature repairs itself and heals, it's a natural process from the beginning of time to the last day. Man on the other hand thinks and behaves like every day is the last day.

What a fabulous story. Yet, sad at the end. I liked this story very much. TY ❤ 😊

Man, that's a beautiful film.

[@LorettaLong-pr3wg]

Loved the book!! I've always admired wolves and this book just made me love them even more. As humans we are so often afraid of what we don't understand. First time watching the movie... 🐾

I'm very sorry for your loss. My relationship with both my parents was very complicated and often very bad, but now they are gone I miss them both, and I always will.

[@leonalia]

I came across this by accident. What a little gem of a movie. Thank you.

[@Kimdino1]

Wow, what a beautiful film. At first I thought it was some comedy about a man out of his depth. But when he gets settled into the wilderness it really took of and became something special.

[@Franco-bw3mx]

It’s dances with wolves almost exactly

[@Woodstock271]

My father sent me this novel/memoir by Farley Mowat when I was about 12 years old. That would have been around 1972 or so, three years after the divorce. He knew that I read anything he put in front of me, as long as it was about animals. Math was not acceptable reading material and not worth studying past long division. (I knew math wasn’t his favorite class either, as a boy). So he mailed me books to read. Stories that always included beautiful wild creatures. “Never Cry Wolf” was an absolute favorite of mine back then and I fantasized about doing this same kind of thing when I grew up. A decade later I was sailing around the South Pacific with my dad on his beautiful old gaff-rigged Tahiti Ketch. Five or more years went by without ever watching a television or seeing a movie in a theater. I didn’t miss it at all. I was living life, not watching someone else do it on a screen. In civilization again, friends would ask if I saw a certain movie and nope, I hadn’t. Didn’t have a favorite TV show since I haven’t owned a TV since I was a kid. Dad had settled down with his new wife in Hawaii and he’d just gotten a VCR. I drove a few blocks to his house and he had rented “Never Cry Wolf”. He asked if I remembered the book? I nodded and he said, “It’s probably better than the movie is but they always are. Let’s watch this anyway.” He was right, the book was much better. Though the movie was excellent, reading a book is different and more personal. You are forced to imagine what the characters look like and turn the words on the pages into your own kind of movie you can see. Nobody is seeing exactly the same thing, it’s your own version. So this is my second time seeing this movie and I love this version since I don’t really remember my 12 year old self’s book creation. Thanks for putting this on KZbin now. What a treat! Reminds me of dad. He’s been gone 5 years now and I miss him terribly. Aloha from Washington.

Been looking for this movie for years,typed in all kinds of movies about wolves, greetings from cork city ireland,,many thanks.

There is a fairly new documentary called the snow wolf, very incredible film

Woah! I can't wait to watch this in the weekend! Thanks, Screen Blaze!! 👍

[@MarcGlenwright]

The people saying that some of the things shown aren't realistic should remember that its a Disney film and not a documentary. Also, the people who are saying it's boring must have the attention span of a gnat.

[@musamor75]

No, I certainly don't think it's a Disney film, in fact anything but that. If you read the text at the beginning and the description you'll have understood that it was based on a true story. I don't know where you get the impression that ANYBODY said a single word about boredom (???). Everyone in this space talks lovingly about this film.

[@cattymajiv]

@@musamor75 Maybe it got deleted? Or maybe that was said elsewhere? I do agree with you but it isn't a big deal.

[@spikespa5208]

@@musamor75 It is a Disney film, with Amarok Productions. Disney owns the film. How it has appeared here is a good question, Disney being noted for holding its properties tight.

[@TropicsAndFood]

@@spikespa5208 they did produce it and was seen on all home video prints, but digitally its not

Just surprised to see it in its entirety on an ooyay ubetay channel that wasn't Disney.

Beautiful movie..thank you🌷

[@peterhendricksen6946]

Has that same raw feeling that the movie 'friends' back in the early 70's with the Elton John song.does anyone know that feeling too?

[@cattymajiv]

@@peterhendricksen6946 I have no idea what movie or song you mean, but Elton John's music from that time is so amazing! It was much less pop music oriented, with more classical piano, which I just loved. It was so evocative! I vaguely remember a couple from then about friendship. Bernie Taupin and Elton were both geniuses, and they were a perfect fit for each other. But nobody can produce masterpieces nonstop forever, and people are affected by forces around them, so not all of their publicly released work is as good as it was, but that's ok. I love them both immensely!

[@IronSights54]

Classic!!!! Watched this with my wife and kids so many years ago!!! We watched it again some years later... We still talk about it... GREAT MOVIE!!!!

Appears to be bases upon a true story. If so, he was very lucky to survive the remoteness of Alaska arriving alone & clueless during the winter. I'm resourceful in the wild, but Alaska is really wild. Visit in 1975 - Early Summer. Left in late summer. May be true, but I just couldn't believe the initial story line. A great docudrama (2004) is "Alone in the Wilderness" - 1968. Enjoyed the movie. Thanks.

It was northern Manitoba, not Alaska.

Thanks for the movie. Plenty of wonderful memories of Alaska revived and fabulous time spent there with Inuits.

It was northern Manitoba, not Alaska. The world is not solely consisted of the USA. There is a massive country north of you that is MUCH bigger than the USA is. Only Russia is bigger than Canada.

In case you didn't know, Charles Martin Smith is only 5'4" tall. He did, in fact, run around buck naked with a herd of Caribu. Filming was done in Canada's Yukon, not Alaska. I remember him as Terry "The Toad" Fields in George Lucas' film American Graffiti (1973).
