The Outlaw Josey Wales | Josey Ambushes the Massacre | Warner Classics

[@NR-rv8rz]

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but as much as I absolutely adore Unforgiven, I like The Outlaw Josey Wales more.

[@2bigbufords]

I kinda agree. This was a really good movie

[@davidlamble4604]

My all time favorite western.

Josey: Ok ✅

I love both but Josey Wales is top to me. As I age I don’t want to watch movies over and over but these two will always be in my rotation.

[@delancyj67]

The two best Clint Eastwood movies ever are, "The Outlaw Josey Wales" and "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly." Don't bother trying to change my mind.

[@earth_ling]

What about “Dirty Harry?” Or…”High Plains Drifter?” (Was my all time favorite) and my other is…”Kelly’s Heroes.”

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

Haven't seen a bad Eastwood movie yet. The "Any which way but loose" movies were funny, with a sanguine tilt. Josey Wales, Unforgiven, and The Spaghetti Western trilogy were dark, but showed redemption. The list goes on... 👍

[@Bikerbug2020]

Outlaw Josef Wales is a kick ass classic western.

[@DeanHolmes-i2l]

Outlaw Josey Wales is my absolute favorite western and Eastwood movie. It's ironic that the scene and dialogue with Ten Bears is still relevant today.

[@MrGyges]

By far his best film

[@ashroskell]

John Vernon always added a little je ne sais quoi to the Clint experience that I miss from older movies. They talk of the, “wunderkind,” directors of the 1970’s; the auteurs like Scorsese, Coppola, Spielberg and so on. But they rarely mention Eastwood in that same breadth, despite this example manifesting as one of the very earliest descontructionist westerns (or, “post modern westerns”) of its day that also happened to be a smash hit. It’s consciously ambivalent tone, both conservative and liberal simultaneously bit deep at the time and resonated with audiences. And it still has so much to say to current audiences in that ever divided land. Just a damned good story well told, with memorable performances from an excellent cast, speaking words from a script that is deceptively elegant in its straight forward simplicity. Hard to find a better western.

[@DeanHolmes-i2l]

I agree, the scene with Ten Bears and the dialogue exchange still is relevant today. The Academy isn't fond of Eastwood because he is always on time with his films and never over budget. And yet he continued to turn hit after hit.

[@markkumanninen6524]

Vernon had the finest barytone voice of his generation. Accidentally, he was the Mayor in Dirty Harry.

[@farnezeee1]

It's comforting to know there are older men also watching these classic KZbin clips. I'm in my 30s but my dad who passed away 20 years ago watched old movies all day long... John Wayne was his favorite, but he watched all the old westerns over 100 times... I miss him.

Actually General US Grant let the Confederate soldiers retain their rifles and horses. Look it up!

[@stevemerritt2721]

these weren't Confederate regular soldiers, more of Missouri raiders

[@sammywestenberger9303]

General: Move!

[@brucetucker4847]

They're a long way from Virginia and General Grant. But yes, for the most part the surrender terms for regular Confederate troops were very generous. Interestingly, his ruthless march through Georgia during the war notwithstanding, Sherman offered the most generous terms of any Union general.

[@djplayskeys]

This wasn’t in Virginia and Grant wasn’t in charge at this surrender camp. Red legs and the Union soldiers that massacred those men were the same ones that destroyed Josie’s farm and raped his wife. There were some renegade Union officers that enjoyed hating, killing and humiliating innocent civilians just because they lived in a Confederate state.

[@MrTwistedLizard]

This ain't Grant though, is a US Senator men and a but of Jayhawkers (Northern militia raiders) given a Federal commission. Chances are this massacre will be covered up and swept under the rug.

[@gonnaw1n]

A massively unrated movie!!!

[@kevinangus4848]

Almost fifty years, and still a semi-guilty pleasure. And not based on a 50's black & white Japanese samurai film! ( yeah, weird. Stagecoach, with John Wayne, was a Japanese favorite. )

Hey! Fistful of Dollars is incredible no matter if it was a remake of Yojimbo or not

[@brucetucker4847]

@@jrobbin24 It's the other way around. The Magnificent Seven was a remake of Seven Samurai, but Yojimbo was a remake of Fistfull. And both of the latter were loosely based on Dashiell Hammett's story Red Harvest.

The use of the Gatling gun was well done except, none of the horses was getting hit even though the blue soldiers were standing right in front or near those horses.

[@CRrrr-gq1so]

Let’s see another movie making a hero out of traitors. Oh poor southern boys who supported racist plantation owners.

[@MrTwistedLizard]

Josey wasn't a slave owner though or fighting for slavery, he was a mountain man who's family was killed by at the time non registered militia "Jayhawkers" Josey just wanted to kill them not fight the entire US And his Journey after this scene isn't so much to "Rise Again" as its to simply leave the known United States and live in peace, maybe get some revenge along the way cause Captain Redleg there doesn't know when a fight is not worth fighting. This story isn't trying to glorify the South its telling the tale of a man who happened to be southern who got caught up in something he didnt ask for like alot of civilians during war time

[@mikemainer3009]

In the light of what this nation has seen in the last decade I can't say I like this movie as much as I used to. This movie is revisionist confederate crap that amplifies the racist tripe that there are "good people" on "both sides". Which is not surprising for a Clint "empty chairs" Eastwood film.

[@jrobbin24]

Shut up already whinebag

[@brucetucker4847]

There were good people on both sides. The fact that one side's _cause_ was bad doesn't change that. Don't fall for revisionist myth that's just as simplistic as the myth it replaced.

[@MrTwistedLizard]

Actually its surprisingly well executed Josey wasn't a slave owner he was a mountain man, he fought for revenge not slavery His nemesis in the film was a Jayhawker a non registered militia who just so happened to get a government commission AFTER the war Josey's journey isnt to "Rise again" its to find a place to live in peace and maybe get revenge on Captain Redleg along the way Say what you want about the Reb army or the Feds. but in war there are ALWAYS people caught in the middle who didnt ask for any of it
