Jeremiah Johnson

A Classic western. Robert Redford is believable and gives a great performance. A serious movie and one that gives some insight to the hard western life and the beliefs of the American Indian.

Pollack's Best?

Despite the Oscars for "Out of Africa," Sydney Pollack was underrated as both a director and an actor. Since his death two wekks ago, I've been revisiting his films on DVD. Least favorite: "The Way We Were"--a political chick flick in which the movie, like its anti-hero, sells out to sentimentality. Favorite: this one. I realize my "handle" and location indicate a certain prejudice in "Jeremiah Johnson"'s favor, but ask yourself where you've seen better cinematography of our West or a better performance by Robert Redford. How Pollack got studio money to make such a stark epic is the greatest miracle of all.

As an actor, Pollack is best known for his turn as Dustin Hoffman's frustrated agent in "Tootsie." Apparently it wasn't much of a stretch, since Pollack was Hoffman's very frustrated director. However, his role as the cynical billionaire in "Eyes Wide Shut" was one of the best things in the film. Best of all his roles was as the airhead-infatuated husband in Woody Allen's "Husbands and Wives," in which he had more states of mind or heart to convey: jaded, besmitten, ferociously disillusioned, finally compromising with full-circle return to precisely the same marriage he had left. A great performance.

Incomparable

I was not alive to see this movie when it came out, and as a general rule I don't prefer movies that are old save the best. However, Jeremiah Johnson may very well be in my top 35 favorites. The acting, directing, cinematography, and grand sweeping narrative are all spot on. This will always be one of the great adventure movies in my collection. Buy it.

Excellent

This movie is hard to find and not only did I get it quickly, but the quality was way better than the previous one we owned. Thanks Amazon!

An oldie but good

If you like westerns this is a must. I am not a western fan but I enjoyed this one. It has some great humor too not to mention Robert Redford was so nice looking .
