This video is from Sydney Pollack's 1972 film, "Jeremiah Johnson," starring Robert Redford in the title role, showing Jeremiah Johnson's final scene and parting with Bear Claw (Will Geer) a mentor to Jeremiah when he was a young novice. The old teacher now meeting the pupil who has surpassed him, with the amount of tragedy and legend that Jeremiah's become. This role is one of Robert Redford's most endearing and enduring performances, a character who has to grow and revert to a form of savagery to master it.
“This is the story of the inevitable destruction of every man’s dream and the spine of the film
is that the measure of a man is the grace with which he survives that destruction.”
-Edward Anhalt

Will Geer (born William Aughe Ghere; 1902 - 1978) was an American actor, musician, and social activist, who was active in labor organizing and other movements in New York and Southern California in the 1930s and 1940s. In California he befriended rising singer Woody Guthrie. They both lived in New York for a time in the 1940s. He was blacklisted in the 1950s by Hollywood after refusing, in testimony before Congress, to name persons who had joined the Communist Party.
In his later years, he was well known for his role as the grandfather figure Zebulon Walton in the TV series The Waltons until his death.

One of the best lines in any movie: "feels like far".
Yes that was a subtle but deep comment he made.
In the same vein as “it’s not the years, it’s the mileage” from Raiders of the lost ark. Both outstanding films and iconic lines.
Like the time SpongeBob said to Patrick...
Yeah, they really don't make them like this anymore.
Perfect casting of Will Greer as Bear Claw. Gives the part the right amount of grizzledness, gravitas and humor.
This is such a beautiful movie. I find this to be what one means when one says a movie can be art.
Watching these clips is really making me miss my dad.
Dammit.
My grandpa's.
Me too. My dad loved the part where the old timer lead a grizzly bear into the cabin and jumped through the back window. We’d laugh every time.
My favorite line, Were it worth the trouble? Huh, what trouble!
Yes, I love that line. JJ had endured a enormous amount of trouble, but by then it had all fell into a perspective sitting outside of time. At that moment there was no trouble.
Top 5 all time , yet he 'fishes poorly' ! Fantastic movie
"Says he's got enough bear claws."
As every year passes, this film becomes more daunting and profound than the year prior. The decisions and indecisions and their consequences. Forks in the road you cannot double back from. It is what makes life so bittersweet.
So true .As you get older and look back and reflect in old age all the things you wanted to have ,see or do .and how few you really got or achieved ,and you wonder why and how you are where you are now.. and was it all worth it .
When you realize what Will Geer went through in the 1950s it makes you think about how messed up we were back then.
@@av8rkirk As bad as it may seam it's worse now .
one of the finest films ever made!
Iconic scene with 2 iconic craftsmen crafting each moment flawlessly❤❤
Not a Robert Redford fan, however this is one of my all time favorites
One of my dads favorite movies. I first watched it in the 80s as a kid. Loved it. Still watch it yearly with him. When I was a kid I was sad that Bearclaw didn't hang around longer.
Notice the sadness and wistfulness in the music? Very much reminds me of Aaron Copeland. This is AMERICAN classical music. Simple, yet subtle. Expansive. Brave. Beautiful.
I think the reason Jeremiah Johnson removed his hat when he saw his mentor coming. He did it as a sign of respect.
I was wondering, this, or he didn't want to look like a bear when the bear hunter was coming.
I remember seeing this in 1972 on the big screen in a converted vaudeville theater… I knew I had to go to the mountains and enjoyed being 30 miles off the grid last month in the mountains, that’s truly home
A Different breed leads that sort of life.
Hes the epitome of PTSD in this scene....an empty shell......never realized how sad the ending was as a kid......one of my favorite movies
Used to pretend i was him running trapline as a kid with dad and grandpa
Was it sad? Or, maybe, he had found what he was looking for.
my two grandpa's taught me trapping, as well an negotiating the sale the the merchants in town. whitling a white cedar stretch board, cleaning. Even though I worked a lot with all my grandparents, the minutes of that experience bringing my two grandfathers together to educate me, a city kid, was pure Gold for me. And more important now that I'm their age.
@@user-zp7jp1vk2i I learned woodcraft hu ting fishing trapping from dad and his dad..... from my other grandpa I learned about music and electronics in the 1970s and 80s.....he was an electrical repairman for the schoolboard and used to fix all the movie projectors in Saskatchewan
One of my favorite films of all time, surely in my top 10, maybe even top 5.
I spent some time alone in the Rockies - only about three weeks. Not another person did I see. It quiets the mind so that you can hear better. Long time ago.
The noise of this world is literally driving people mad.I've just had to walk through the city of Manchester in England & the noise & the clamour was like being physically assaulted.We have comforts but no real peace.I think for people who quite like their own company these pressures can seem more pronounced.
@@paulstarr6316 It's the people who cannot stand being alone that I don't understand. They text constantly, leave on the TV or on the phone just for the distraction. I don't see the appeal of that false sense of connection. I don't text, IM, Facebook or Instagram. I just sit here and babble on youtube. that's more than enough for me. Manchester, eh? Now that's interesting. G'day, mate. Or is that Australia? 😄
@@mikeyh0 That's Australia mate, although we Brits say mate as well.Cheers mate .
Were it worth the trouble?
@@randymillhouse791 It was no trouble. Sure, having no conveniences is a bit of a chore. I wouldn't do it again. But that was 50 years ago. Just an experience like no other. Like the time I slithered on my back near Red Rocks from a cave to the other side through 50+ feet of pitch black nothing with an entire mountain inches above my nose. Unique and not to be repeated. The voices guided me. "Life is big" as a gal I knew once told me. Worth it? Absolutely.
Like many of us, that movie meant a lot to me at a young age and is still one of my all time favorites.😊
This is such a masterpiece. That insertion of that piece of music to change the mood as if almost giving up. Yeah man serendipity.
Seriously, you are 100% correct. This movie was a masterpiece for a host of reasons . It is timeless AND a photograph of a time in our history which is now lost. What's really an eye opener is that this scenario occurred only a few generations ago and now our numbers are swarming the continent where there is no frontier any more. Additionally, the populace has been brainwashed into believing that exponential growth in our numbers is necessary so that we can all enjoy social security when we retire.
I have been involved in survival in one form or fashion ever since! Thanks Jeremiah Johnson!
He surpassed him by just living. That is what is crazy.
What a great scene.
Yes. My fav scene in movie. Sad. You get a feel of the ‘state of mind’ the character Jeremiah Johnson is in.
@@advids5572 More so, you can see the sadness in Bear Claw as he wipes away a tear at 3:29. Very subtle but it's right there! Excellent series of JJ vids - the best I've seen! Thank you!
One of my all-time favorites for sure!
So many great moments in this movie. I remember it having a big impact on me.
Will Geer was just a Hoot in this movie !
And if it's on TV; I'm watching it !
Awww, the look of weariness on Jeremiah is so profound even when he speaks. 😢
The years of grind have ridden him so down. But with spring comes the renewal in each of us.
I have asked this several times - even wrote to Redford and never heard back - there is a social convention when visiting, that when someone mentions the time (well, look at the time …) it’s an indication that it’s time to go. mountain men didn’t have watches. When Jeremiah asked, “Do you know what month it is?” Was that a subtle, “Time to go.” Because his teacher left right after.
I think its more that bear claw knew he was still hurting bad, and just that it was time to go. Think about it, hes a savage badass murderer who eats livers. Youd be a bit hesitant too as would I. They are friends, but sometimes some men need to be left alone.
I never interpreted it that way, i think jeremiah made an honest inquiry of a respected acquaintance, while bearclaw had already enjoyed jeremiahs dinner, he knew it was time to go.
No he just didn’t have a clue what month it was.
I thought that segment just highlighted how Redford had truly become a “mountain man”, as the two (and men like them) were bemused wondering about what the actual date was.
A world apart from normal society in towns below.
@@igit_7296 that's what I got out it.
It just dawned on me about the comment on being muddy months down below and it's mostly farmers. A mountain man will never be that farmer. He's truly the mountain man, hoping his hair will fair well from bear claw's last statement..
Sydney, ....sir where ever you are thank you for making Master pieces. You were always great.. GLYM (God Love You Man)⁶
"Ah? WhT trouble?"
Love it!!!
Saw when it came out!
7th grade, I own my own copy!
Fantastic movie!
Old Bear Claw.....he was the grandfather on the Waltons....nothing like being outdoors and feeling Free
Great movie 🎬
One of the best films i've ever seen , and I've seen a lot of them
One of my favorite movies!
Exceptional selection of narrative and editorial of an early epic film. I have enjoyed watching what has been collected here. Thank you.
Thank you for watching. One of my favorite, if not thee favorite film of mine.
Same here I believe I am a old soul also, Out of place in a modern world, Feel the outdoors calling me, With every season, Not as a Mountain man but more of a Mexican Cowboy in Ole Mexico!!
Great
One of my favorite scenes… that and when they met… 😂
Bear Claw: You've come far Pilgrim"
Johnson: "Feels like far"
Bear Claw: "Were it worth the trouble?"
Look, it’s been so long I can’t even remember what we were both so mad about. How about we share a bowl like old times and pretend whatever it was never happened.
He made some good films did Redford
This ,brubaker,both and Sundance tk name a few
John (Liver Eatin’) Johnston once said “Life wouldn’t be worth living if a man didn’t have to defend it”
There’s so much going on in this scene that isn’t written or said. No wasted words, just mutual respect and understanding between them.
A real film, a nicely paced story.A great film actually.When I see the absolute dross that is served up these days I wonder how things could have got so bad.Redford at his best.Nothing worth watching these days.
This would be a stretch to re-do. I’m not saying that it couldn’t be done but…I don’t know. The original is epic.
Saw this movie some years after it came out. By then I was living in the bush in northern Canada. Built a cabin.
Since those days I've k*lled a lot of elk, climbed a lot of mountains, run a lot of rivers.
Was it worth it? I dunno.
Live way up in the mountains in Teton County still.
Was it worth it.. getting Internet?
The young pilgrim came far, as stated by Bear Claw. But, I don't think he surpassed the old man.
is that an old leon?
I said mama why don't we live in the mtns she said I hate snow you can move there when your 18 son I moved to Idaho at 17 and a half. Never going g back to city life.
I, myself, (not a mountain man) would be considered a 'plains-man.' We share a regard for 'the city.'
Grizz
Makes absolutely no sense that Will Geer would atop for three minutes, rather than, say, two days.
And the song spoils it all.
it is a movie--they can do what ever they want--sorry they did not check with you
Agreed. Makes no sense. Having a city boy film a mountain film,,,
