The Hired Hand | PETER FONDA | Western Movie | Full Length | Cowboy Movie

[@tychosnova2896]

I was mesmerized by this film 53 years ago. I watched it on a small tv and recorded the soundtrack on a tinny recorder. I tried to reproduce some scenes in Super-8, using an optical printer donated to our state college Film Dep't. That led me to Film School, the discovery of Vilmos Zsigmond, and a Masters in Cinematography. I recently learned more of the composer, Bruce Langhorne, and looked up the movie. Peter Fonda, Warren Oates, and Verna Bloom are brilliant. 53 years later ... this is a masterpiece.

[@deaddocreallydeaddoc5244]

I've seen this film several times over the years. I saw Easy Rider in 1971. I followed Peter and Dennis Hopper's careers, ups, and downs. I think this is the best work Peter Fonda ever did. There is simply no other Western quite like this one.

[@James-tf7hc]

96 in the shade was pretty damn good too with Peter and warren....

[@DadsLloyd]

This is arguably one of the best westerns ever made. The music, photography, dialog and acting are all superb. Bravo!!

[@GrjngoWesternMovies]

This is another great old classic: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaSvlWh_i62ZocU

[@Ralphbo-u6l]

Totally agree. Never seen this one. This is what Hollywood should be about. Good , Bad, humans making mistakes and working through it. Now it mainly political. What ever politics touches it destroys.

[@Ciscodays]

One of Scorsese's favorite films. That says it all

[@johannvons]

Found this because of my love of the playing of Bruce Langhorne. What a rush to find Warren Oates and the camera work of Vilmos Zsigmond.

[@drshivssingh]

I had no idea a western could be this way too. Great acting, great music, great story, great dialog & great sets. Everything about the movie's great.

This movie is a gem. It is so sad and beautiful.

Yeah.

[@dookula]

I just watched this movie for the first time tonight. Wouldn't have heard of it if not for Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary's podcast. The final shot of this film is one of the most heartbreaking and devastating endings I've ever seen. Perfection.

[@madjackblack5892]

Love this movie. Saw it many years ago. Understated and one of the best Westerns.

[@larryitsbloat995]

This movie is unpredictable in many aspects. Yet, it is satisfying in many ways. Warren Oats, per his usual, while still alive, is one of the best actors in all of his designated roles. He knew his limitations and never strived to be Sir Laurence Olivier or Marlon Brando. He was always himself, and all characters he obviously enjoyed being, he nailed them.

That was more psychology lesson than it was a western. But a great story, acting, setting, and cinematography (and more) made this a memorable movie.

[@Hey_its_Koda]

This is cool! Wow! This was filmed in New Mexico. I recognized Cabazon Peak because its right on the way to my grandparents ranch. Those adobe buildings dont exist anymore. Now when i pass this peak and San Luis. Ill think of this movie.

[@antoniodiniz131]

This is an unusual kind of Western movie. It looks so real and serious. Very natural acting and devoid of any exaggeration. Was difficult to guess how it would end.

[@midas7394]

This was a slow moving western with a sad ending. Thanks for sharing.

[@alicecampos-ayala3290]

Always admired Warren Oates Peter Fonda walks just like his Dad,”HENRY”. Peter Fonda as to the movies that he has acted in Seems to be a little like CLINT EASTWOOD, quiet and the soundtrack is kind of similar Not sure of writers or photography of scenes but they are wonderful They are surely admired. Thank you

[@buddyvilla7393]

Warren Oates was Peter Fondas best friend. When Warren died of a heart attack I think around 1983. Fonda was in the Phillipines making a film. Sadly Peter missed Warrens funeral. But Warrens family called Peter and asked him to come back for the reading of the will. So Peter flies back bleary eyed and goes to the Attorney s office. At the very end of the will Warren wrote Peter with all the money you made off of Easy Rider you don’t need any more. “So to Peter Fonda I leave ALL MY LOVE””.

[@carolcole570]

So, he had to stop everyone’s job of filming because of his demand to fly back for the reading of the Will, plus upsetting his time change as he was forced to adjust……frankly, the attorney ought to have been lenient and either delay the reading, or tell him over the phone. I don’t think much of his being forced to go thru this emotional turmoil especially after losing his best BFF.

[@mauricioduron3193]

It leaves us feeling as would combining 'Days of Heaven' and 'Bridges of Madison County' in a double feature bill.

[@eaurough]

Thanks for this. Was surprised Peter Fonda directed it. He did a great job.

[@larryitsbloat995]

The soundtrack is exemplary and the cinematography is on the same plane. So far at twenty-seven minutes in I'm liking this western.

I wrote an essay about Peter Fonda's mystical, poetic masterpiece and interviewed assistant director Hawk Koch for its 50th anniversary in 2021 on Senses of Cinema. This is in my top 10 in the Sight & Sound Greatest Films of All Time poll. My favorite American film. Filmed in New Mexico. Beautiful, gorgeous, shimmering landscape cinematography by Vilmos Zsigmond and an aching, deeply hypnotic score by Bruce Langhorne. My favorite soundtrack.

Best Adult Western almost ever!
