One of the best Clint films and surely one of my favorites. Your video is awesome and really gets into the great story of the vengeance trail of Josey Wales. Best quote from the movie. ( Bounty Hunter ) You"re a wanted man Wales. ( Josey ) Reckon I'm right popular.

As a cinema lover all of my days, here are MY All-time Top 10 Westerns : 10 : " Good, Bad, & Ugly " ----Eli Wallach steals every scene he's in ! ------9. " A Few Dollars More " ------Lee Van Cleef gets to play an almost good guy .-------8. " Support your Local Sheriff " , James Garner at his breezy best. & Jack Elam steals the show ! 7. " The Quick & The Dead" , Sharon Stone is great, & Gene Hackman is always stellar. -----6. " Tombstone " -----What a cast !! Val Kilmer & Michael Biehn stand out . ----- 5. " The Shootist " ----while not a fan of Wayne, this is a true classic, with a superb Hollywood cast. --------4. " Duel At Diablo " a great, under appreciated film with unusual casting, but it works perfectly. -------3. " Hell Or High Water " , THE only modern Western worth this rating ; Taylor Sheridan hits a grand-slam. ----------2. " The Outlaw Josey Wales ", Eastwood's finest work, ever. Chief Dan George deserved Oscar consideration. --------and MY all-time #1, Sam Peckinpah's Masterpiece, " The Wild Bunch " , an out & out classic, in every way., again with a Classic Hollywood cast, & 3 standout Mexican cast members. With over 1200 cuts & jump cuts, an unforgettable film, with an unforgettable ending. ------SO, there you have it. I'll take my list against any other Top 10. ------------------------MJL, 76 y/o

In the beginning where the bushwhackers go up to Josey Wales one of the men says that their is Bloody Bill Anderson. He was a real Confederate guerrilla fighter from Missouri that developed quite a nasty reputation during the war. I’ve always found that to be interesting to put in a historical character in the movie.

I have seen this movie so many times and after enough viewings, I thought I observed an interesting twist to the story. Is it possible that Tom Turner (son of Granny, father of Laura Turner) was killed by Josey at the surrender when he was manning the Gatling gun? The only hint we get, I think, is when the group first arrive at the dry saloon. Granny says something about her son getting cut down by a "Missouri ruffian." Then there is a quick shot of Josey in shadow except for a beam of light across his eyes, but there is ample enough light to see the brief pained look on his face. He had a fairly thick skin by this point and I doubt he was reacting to her oft-repeated insult. Instead, maybe it was a reaction after the sudden realization that he killed Tom Turner, and now he is living among his entire family. Its very subtle, but very Clint to avoid the temptation to spotlight this irony.

Eastwood's film 'The Outlaw Josey Wales' is based on a book written by Forrest Carter in 1972 _The Rebel Outlaw: Josey Wales._ Forrest Carter was not his real name. His real name was Asa Earl Carter: Asa Earl Carter (September 4, 1925 - June 7, 1979) was a 1950s segregationist political activist, Ku Klux Klan organizer, and later Western novelist. He co-wrote George Wallace's well-known pro-segregation line of 1963, "Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever", and ran in the Democratic primary for governor of Alabama on a white supremacist ticket. Years later, under the pseudonym of supposedly Cherokee writer Forrest Carter, he wrote The Rebel Outlaw: Josey Wales (1972), a Western novel that led to a 1976 film - The Oulaw Josey Wales - featuring Clint Eastwood that was adopted into the National Film Registry, and The Education of Little Tree (1976), a best-selling, award-winning book which was marketed as a memoir but which turned out to be fiction. In 1976, following the success of The Rebel Outlaw and its film adaptation The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976), The New York Times revealed Forrest Carter was actually Asa Carter. His background became national news again in 1991 after his purported memoir, The Education of Little Tree (1976), was re-issued in paperback, topped the Times paperback best-seller lists (both non-fiction and fiction), and won the American Booksellers Book of the Year (ABBY) award. In the memoir Carter claimed to be Cherokee and/or of Cherokee descent but this has been shown to be a complete fabrication. Prior to his literary career as "Forrest", Carter was politically active for years in Alabama as an opponent of the civil rights movement. In the mid 1950s, he had a syndicated segregationist radio show, and worked as a speech writer for segregationist Governor George Wallace of Alabama. He also founded the North Alabama Citizens Council (NACC), an independent offshoot of the White Citizens' Council movement formed by Carter when the White Citizens' Council tried to moderate Carter's antisemitism. He also formed the militant and violent Ku Klux Klan group known as the Original Ku Klux Klan of the Confederacy, and started a monthly publication titled The Southerner which spread white supremacist and anti-communist rhetoric.

Great review of the story of Josey Wales and thank you for your wonderful work as always. Respectfully, I would take a minor exception as to your choice of Eastwood’s best work though. Not to slight Ruth Gordon or Clyde, mine would be, “The Unforgiven” for many reasons. Among several sweetly sad scenes, that Eastwood film shows us that eventually once evil men may grow old in spite of their past. Some of them live long enough to find a certain redemption in the notion that it’s OK to fall off your horse, or build a house with a porch upon which to sit and smoke a pipe and drink coffee of an evening… and still get up the next day and face an increasingly hostile and desperate world. That and the presence of powerful screen actors like Morgan Freeman, Richard Harris, Gene Hackman, Frances Fisher, and Saul Rubinek make the film memorable for many. The dialogue is very well crafted. Though mostly shot in Canada, the film’s dialogue is liken to that of the early ten cent pulp fiction books by those titillated eastern writers that had no first hand knowledge of the real west. The title of Rubinek’s book, “The Duke of Death” is perfect sensationalized ignorance. The treatment of the women in the upstairs billiard parlor and their righteous pursuit of vengeance in a fundamentally venal world is a odious reflection of just how base and dangerous life was in that short, occasionally violent period in the American west. Certainly not my all time favorite film (that goes to “The Wild Bunch”), “The Unforgiven” and “The Outlaw Josey Wales” are both very near the top of my Eastwood, list. I just seem to find more Old Man redemption in “The Unforgiven”. Again, thank you for your tremendous insights into the story of Josey Wales, always a perennial favorite.
