Read the book this movie is based on. "The Mountain Man by Vardis Fisher. It tells so much more of the story.
@user-ho4nw5sf3w Thank you for the recommendation. I was trying to tie the story to real history, at least as far as we know it, while "Mountain Man" is a fictionalized retelling of the story
@@chaptersofwisdom True, so was this movie a fictional account. I thought the book had far more substance than the movie. As for the real story of John Johnston, or as he was called, Liver eating Johnston. Neither of these version really do the job.
When I was a dogsledder, I slept many times out in the cold in winter in Minnesota. Dug holes in the ice to water the dogs and battled -70F temps one trip. It sounds glamorous to be outside and "get through" those times, but I can't say it was "fun." It was something else...don't know what to call it, but there just was something about it that is missing in today's society. I think it's the simpleness of it. Thanks for reading.
@patsyshannon Funny how we romanticize that lifestyle and watch films about it from our heated living rooms. Think I'll go re-watch "The Revenant" now ...
I’ve heard that the cabin of the crazy woman is supposed to be somewhere in the Crazy Mountains.
It’s not really that huge of a range compared to some of the others just west and south of there.
I think it would make for a great summer to go look and for it…
@arctodussimus6198 My next video on the topic asks the same question. I'd be surprised if there's much to find and would hate if someone got hurt looking for it. Could be quite an adventure though ...
This movie has no idea about the meaning of this movir
@KevanRice What would you say is the meaning of the movie?
As a married man with children I think about running away to the mountains everyday. As a man with no survival skills I’d be dead in 4 days due to not knowing how to find water. I’d be ok with that. I can always dream. Thank you Jeremiah Johnson.
@Georgedunkin7473 Yeah those kinds of escape fantasies are probably common. I used to want to live in an RV and drive around the country "free". My brother-in-law dreams of living in the old west, riding around on horses and "doing whatever you want" (which is probably not realistic). Then reality hits you and you start thinking about how to make the best of what you have
Please don't do that Brother. Your wife and children need you more than you know. Stick with it!
You can dig a hole in your backyard and sleep out there, get used to the feel of a cold damp hole. See if you like that and if you do enjoy the feel of sleeping in a hole, then go a bit further with your experiment. Try digging a deeper and more elaborate hole in the ground, tunnel as deep as you can. Go and stay down there as long as possible, endure it, live it, learn it.
You won’t be as handsome as Robert Redford, but you can convince yourself that you’re every bit as romantic as Redford is. It’ll be easy to convince yourself of numerous thoughts once you’ve been down a deep dark hole for an extended period of time.
@@chrisdraughn5941 sounds like a plan! I’ll try it!
@@chrisdraughn5941 btw, what if was a veteran having trouble with adjusting to life states side after I’ve seen unspeakable things humans do to each other and you just told me to go bury myself? Without a shadow of a doubt I know that you are a Trump voter.
