This scene from Sydney Pollack's 1972 film, "Jeremiah Johnson," starring Robert Redford in the title role, is near the end of the film, showing as Jeremiah Johnson's fame grows his mood gets more and more removed, becoming an outsider from society, but a legendary image to the Indians, and discovers a monument made to himself by the enemy. This 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.

One of the best Westerns ever made and also one of Redford's finest performances, imo.
As a grown man I actually wept when his makeshift family was killed. One of the most heart breaking plot twists in cinema history. This movie is a masterpiece.
I agree.
one of my all time favourites
Why would you ruin a film for all those that havent seen it?
@@Woodkin007 Who havent by now?
And how many are gonna see his comment @@SwedishEmpire1700
One of my favorite lines in movies. "Some say your dead, on account of this. Others say you never will be.....on account of this."
The movie makes a man's soul bleed.
😊
Glorious
Tied for first place with Outlaw Josey Wales for my all-time favorite movies. I love this movie.
Totally agree with you. My list would also include Unforgiven.
Whenever I recommend Westerns to people those would be the two I would recommend. Good choices. Hehe. (Easy choices too lol)
@clevergirlaah1251 out of curiosity, I looked up the list of the best westerns. Imdb has them ranked at 88 and 89th. They've lost their minds!
I love Josey Wales, but good God, grow up.
@@seanautilis15 I agree. Unforgiven was okay but Josey Wales was nothing like Jeremiah Johnson.
Once in a while Jeremiah Johnson would play TV. I'd sit down and tell myself I'll watch for just a few minutes. Then I end up watching it to the end. Great, great flick.
I saw this movie in big screen theater with a friend at age 14, 1972. I am a man who had heard the phrase, "You beat me" 3 times from Vietnam war veterans also. My true story needs to be told someday. I could fill the comment sections accordingly if my life story was ever exposed to the light of day. I picked out my "Bee Fun Knee" YT name on purpose. I am a walking dead man who is a living funeral dragging behind him a cement casket tied onto me with heavy chains. But I don't want to act it; sorrow doesn't wear itself on its chest where all can easily see it. A decent smile covers up a whole lot. Honest love and compassion tries to heal the traumas life has provided since birth. Listen to me story while examining my eyes and voice for truth or lies and you'd give me generous ears and want to stay silent so you could hear more and more, then only speak when you had honest, thoughtful questions to ask, knowing I'd provide the proper truth you expected from me. A single lie would be a 'compromise', one you'd easily recognize... your comment above tells me that much about you. One hurting old man Maine says, "Hello" while he can do so. "Jeremiah Johnson" is a movie that has honest "weight" involved. Entertainment can be so "fluffy" and "light" these days we find ourselves living in.
JJ is a remote dropper. Come to think of it, a lot of Redford films are.
@@bgrigg07 Three Days of the Condor comes to mind
Same here, even if I tuned in part way through
"Band of Brothers" caught my wife and I on a Memorial Day that way one year. Hadn't planned on 8 hours of tv, but it was perhaps the best binge of my tv-viewing life. This movie entertains and then later, makes you think.
I think this movie represents the total freedom we once had in America. A dangerous freedom, one we have not had in a long time.
I can imagine how may men,women and children....white black or red that America has seen parish on it ground....my mom's ancestors landed in Boston in 1635...and times would have been crazy then....to think how the world's population has grown.....
And now, you are doomed.
I've always considered this Redford's best part. The deadness of soul in the later scenes is absolutely amazing. You can actually see, not only the outer scars but the inner ones. one of the finest portrayals of the"thousand yard stare" I've ever seen. Wonderful film.
I got a "thousand yard stare" even better.... Charles Bronson at the end of Once Upon a Time in the West before he walks out the door.
Try having the scars.
The natural
Yesterday, I found out that my 78-year-old father has cancer. Today, I thank him for showing me Jeremiah Johnson during my formative years.
In my eyes this is one of the greatest movies ever made. The character ark and subtle messaging together with great writing was just brilliantly executed. It’s a great shame we don’t have anymore western adventurer movies like this.
It is a shame we don’t have western adventure movies like this.
Hollywood producers are fixated on filming movies that demonize White pioneers, settlers and cowboys in all sorts of dishonest ways.
giusto!- right
God help us if we ever have to fight a war, you little boys believe in Hollywood
If a movie is rated by the number of times a person has watched it then this is by far the single most best movie I've ever seen. It even has an intermission. Something they used to do for longer movies when I was a kid. Give you time to go get another soda and more popcorn. Things people don't even know about these days. There are a lot of movies that I might have rated higher because of the content but this is the one I have watched repeatedly ever since I saw it in the theater as a kid.
I would venture to guess that I've watched it well over 40 times allowing for time in between and my age.
One of the most visually beautiful films ever made. No CGI, no bullshit just the great outdoors for a landscape.
This was actually filmed mostly on Redfords property.
Not a phone in sight …
Hard pressed to match let alone exceed nature canvas
No gratuitous sex scenes or nudity that adds nothing to the story, no foul language, no vulgarity, even the violence isn't particularly graphic, and yet, here 50 years later, still very popular and enjoyable to watch.
This was made in Redford Ranch in the Zion Canyon part of Utah. The wind is cold because it is at 8000 feet altitude. The temperature when the wind is not blowing can be as high as 85* but the cold wind makes you cold anyway. That's why all of the people wore coats or long sleeves in the summer. We were there in July 83, and the snow in some places was 8 feet deep. The North Rim had just been opened and the roads cleared of snow. It was hot during the day, but the night was around 32*. That was the year the Glenn Canyon dam was in danger of overtopping and collapsing. The generators were going full blast, and the spillway and penstocks were wide open. We were on the landing at the bottom of the dam next to the Colorado River and the entire dam was vibrating from all of the water being discharged.
The wind, man. Doesn’t even have to be a storm. Just the wind itself can hurt.
Remember the old house (no longer there) at the entrance of Zion used for the movie "Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid?"
I camped in it May 1980...
It was where the bicycle scene with Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head is played.
Cool story brother, which studio did you work for?
Merci pour ces infos . J'aime beaucoup ce film.
Holy crap!!!
I would've soiled myself...
This move I will never get 'old'. It just ages like fine wine.
I met Robert Redford years ago at the Blue Coyote in Palm Springs. I told him out of all his movies, Jeremiah Johnson was my favorite. He replied back, " It’s funny you say that, that one's my favorite as well. " ....He was polite and cordial and had the same demeanor as he does in the movies.
When I joined the MC, having known the wilderness, they eventually sent me to Naval gunfire training. It’s amazing how few folks these day know how to even start a fire, much less, what you can and cannot eat while in the bush. The less they actually have to teach you, the better off you will be when it’s time to use your skills.
I'm not worried. I never go without a Bic lighter. Makes things easy.
One of the finest films of the Mountain Wilderness - and a brilliant portrayal of how the people lived and tried to survive. A great actor of his generation. Wonderful book which I read first a while prior to the film being released, and I believe Robert Redford to be the best choice to bring to life the book and the harshness portrayed.
Such a great movie all round, this scene, the way it shows Tribe he's at war with have grown to see him as some mythical beast to challenge, They don't hate him at this point he's become the gatekeeper to something bigger than themselves a warrior/monster to prove themselves against..
indians were known for their enemies as to how powerful they were.
This is Robert Redford's best film, period. Butch Cassidy and The Sting come close but not as pure in spirit and message as this movie. I watch it at least once a year, preferably on a cold gray winter day. It still moves me every time I watch it. Little Big Man is quite good as well, being from the same era and storytelling point of view. They make a good double feature.
Three Days of the Condor was also very good.
The forced romantic sub-plot in Condor is really cringe.@@barbarakauppi9915
My father showed me this film. I don't have a great relationship with the man, but this is one of my favorite things between us.
"Some say you're dead on account of this. Others say you never will be on account of this."
Great movie. Saw it when it first came out. One of my all-time favorites.
In reality the monument was the Crazy Woman's grave, constructed by the Crows after her death out of respect for Johnston. Up to that point in time he had killed hundreds of Crows, earning the name Dapiak Absorokee. After finding the monument he made peace with the Crow and they became strong friends and allies for the rest of his life.
The real Jeremiah Johnson, or John Johnston, was a truly remarkable man, if not exactly as stoic and noble as portrayed in the movie. If even one half of one half of the stories about him are only partially true he is still a legend bordering on myth.
he killed about 30 is the historians guess
@@dethray1000 This is the problem with the tales of the mountain men. Even if they didn't exaggerate their own exploits their companions did. Those in turn got exaggerated by word of mouth, media, and the likes of wild west shows. By his own accounts (third hand at best) I seem to remember him claiming to have killed over 300. I've never seen any estimates as low as 30 before, but the only ones who could verify have all been gone for over a century now.
@@derekmcdanold7108 why are you lecturing me!!!!! in the book of liver eating johnson as he was know it said 20 to 30 was the claim johnson had made which is a lot---300 no way,that would be insane--but it is your bs,you believe what you want
For those of you have seen this preview. Watch it. You will not regret it . The journey is far more than just the conclusion. It is a tribute to monumental movie making in every aspect. Based on Mountain Man by Vardis Fisher.
This feels like a reminder to him. He painstakenly became somewhat like the grieving widower that lived before as he gazed up at the cross of someone he helped bury years before. The Emptiness and pain he experienced, he now realizes exactly how she felt many years before....She gave up hope....what will Jeremiah do?
I discovered this movie late in my life. It played a few times on TV and initially I dismissed it because I had never heard of it and I wasn't really a Robert Redford fan. On another recast, after catching one compelling scene after another, I was hooked. This is a beautiful movie. In the 1970's it was a tale of another time. Now, in a new millennium, it is a tale of the 1970's as much as it is a tale of the 1870's. I love the story that is told. There was wildness once in the land. The character Jeremiah Johnson seeks it. The movie stirred the theater audience to celebrate it. Now, the DVD/digital audience, even further removed, yearns for that world.
People lived short, hard tough lives in "that world" Be happy you are in the times now instead of then.
@@dp-sr1fd go get that 6th booster, civilian
Go get a dose of reality.@@Cletus_the_Elder
@@Cletus_the_Elder politics aside, that "wildness" you speak of I theorize is something we miss in the modern world and in our longing for it we go insane.
I remember watching this film one day after school. I usually got home about 30 minutes or so before my favorite shows came on, so I had some time to kill. We had just gotten cable, so this made the year sometime around 1978-9 or so. I remember flipping through the channels and this film was on another channel. I like westerns, so I figured I'd watch this flick and keep a sharp eye on the clock because I didn't want to miss my shows.
About 10 minutes into watching this, I had completely forgotten about my shows and missed them all. Even as a kid of 8 or 9, this movie was appealing and interesting. That's a testament to how good the content is. Its not flashy and filled with CGI and all sorts of stunts. The film's success rides solely on the talent of the writing and the actors who bring it to life.
Truly one of Robert Redford's best films and given the caliber of films he's been in, that's sayin something.
One of the finest movies ever made, being an outdoorsman it calls to your soul!
My all time favorite and can still watch it over and over.
Matt Clark (Qualen) also starred with Redford in "Brubaker", as the Prison Office assistant to the Warden. He's also been in "The Outlaw Josey Wales" and "Back To The Future Part III" as a Bartender.
And ‘Buckaroo Banzai’ if I’m not mistaken, great character actor …
Also in White Lightning with Burt Reynolds
More info: The young gal in the corn crib without the hairband is none other than very young country singer Tanya Tucker.
I hated the character he played in Brubaker’s guts. Well played.
He shows up in everything lol. Good actor
Most underated film!!
Best Redford movie ever made.
Still one of my favorite movies, saw it in the theater. Fostered my love for the area.
This was a great movie. Epic. Wouldn’t be understood by most today.
Absolutely. Itd probably get called racist by the eggshell minded youth of today
@@Hongobogologomo 🤣🤣❄🤣🤣
We watched this movie in a history class in highschool and everyone loved it.
That movie haunted me for years when I'm a boy, and then later.
I think I saw it more than 10 times before year 2000...
The figure of the mad speaker on the mountains sounded especially impressive to me.
This work is a masterpiece in the whole human history.
I was seven when my parents took me to see this. It's never let go of me.
Excellent movie, saw it with my family when it was released. It has stood the test of time.
THE best western and one of top ten movies of all time.
This is one of my most favorite movies of all time. I've watched it a thousand times.
I remember watching this film with my dad when I was a boy. We used to watch westerns together.
He was 1/2 Sioux, and me being 1/4, but I always wanted to be a cowboy lol I’d wear the boots and the clothes and all, and he’d just say, “never knew Indians wore cowboy boots” lol.
This film has turned into one of my all time favorites, I could watch it over and over again and never get sick up it. This film, The Wild Bunch and A Man Called Horse, damm, that was when films were actually GOOD, now it’s all just sex, murder, and drugs, and no REAL actors, just wannabes who THINK they’re in the same class. NOT, and never will be.
Come on, The Wild Bunch is all manner of murder and sex. Every damn character, even every protagonist, is one kinda sumbitch or another. But it’s probably an accurate representation of that time and place in history. Isn’t that what makes it great?
87 spt bn? I was in kitzingen.
One of my favorite movies? I bought both my son's this movie for Christmas so They could enjoy it like I do.
Mine too!
Watch this movie every spring on my first solo putting into the woods. Saw the film originally at the theater when I was eighteen, so that dates me.
Definitely one of my top five favourite movies of all time, watched it when I was babysitting and it was the only movie on, and I have been hooked ever since 🇨🇦
This is such a great film. Very much of it's time.
If you liked this film you might like to give the film "Will Penny" a watch. Like "Jeremiah Johnson" it has a star that people either like or dislike, Charlton Heston. Like JJ it's about an outsider who decides to remain an outsider. Heston thought it was his best work and Bruce Dern, who's also in the film agreed, with him.
If a movie is rated by the number of times a person has watched it then this is by far the single most best movie I've ever seen. It even has an intermission.

I watch it once a year without fail.
I would venture to guess that I've watched it well over 40 times allowing for time in between and my age.
Watch your top knot.
Every time I see it I have to sit and watch it, that is a characteristic of a great movie.
One of my very favorite movies!
Watched this movie three times a day, five days per week, for the entire month it ran at the local theater. Then I spent nearly two years exploring the wilderness areas out west. Now I have the movie on DVD and watch it once a year or so.
One of my all time favorite movies.
Awesome film. Thank you Sidney. Thank you Robert.
A solemn testimony to a man's existence! How existentialistic can one become?
I could not have said it better!
It's still as amazing today as when it came out!✌️
Watched this on a battered old black and white tv in our student flat. These clips are the first time I have seen it since then. I now realise that in all the years since, I've remembered it colour.
Greatest movie of it's time and one of the greatest of all time.
I was too young to see it in a theater when it first came out, but I had the pleasure 30 years later. Thank goodness for cinemas that show revival flicks. Even more impressive on the big screen.
One of the greatest movies ever!!!!
One of the best movies ever
Wow, yep... 01:52 Tanya Tucker. She was 13 here, and that same year she recorded her country hit "Delta Dawn".
I was just thinking that. Had planned on looking it up after I read through some comments.
One of the greatest films ever made.
In my top 5 favorite movies
I saw this movie with my Dad when I was 7 years old
That movie and Lonesome Dove! My all time Favorit!
Some of the best lines ever are in Jeremiah Johnson.
We're it worth the trouble?
Hah? What trouble?
Thanks again. Amazing clips.
One of my favorites. Will Geer bringing him a grizz was hilarious.
Truely a awesome frontiersmen movie.. Johnson was right there with Jim Bridger,Hugh Glas,,Kit Carson and more..one of my favorite movies, like John Wayne in Undefeated.. Robert was a solid actor
I've never actually seen this movie, but as soon as I saw the plot description, I knew it had to be based on the story the book "Crow Killer" was about, that I read in middle school in the 1970's(a bit to young for it, thinking back). Haven't thought about it in decades, but it was memorable enough to come rushing back as soon as I saw this clip.
Watch the movie, it will touch your soul, I guarantee it.
Fantastic movie.
While I know the world is easier I wonder if it is better now than then.
I have no doubts about the hardship, struggle, and danger even a simple mistake could bring - I wouldn't mind at all being alone in the mountains for years.
Thank you for this clip. I haven't seen this movie in decades, but after watching this, I feel the desire to see it again.
Thanks for watching. It’s my favorite film.
A masterpiece for sure, yet I howl laughing when he asks “bear claw” if he ever gets lonesome.
This film will never die.
When you spend a lifetime becoming so strong that nothing hurts anymore, or maybe it's just that everything finally hurts evenly all the time, your soul leaves this place on the journey home.
Phenomenal flick. "Big Sky" truly feels big in this movie and Redford is as special as we thought he was.
Wonderful movie. Great script. Great acting. Great scenery. Redford changed how Americans viewed the mountain men.
One of the true stories of the old west! They survived the best they could. They don’t make men like that anymore 👍
Great movie, I've watched it so many times I can recite most of it, lol.
Arguably the best western film of all time, my personal favorite.
it was made 20 ywars before i was born but i absolutely love this movie... i cant help but watch everytime it comes on
One of the greatest movies of all time
Great, great film that somehow has grown obscure by comparison with lesser films of the same era. Perhaps because of its themes. I was fortunate to see it on the big screen when it was released. It stuck with me over the years. Saw it again on TCM just a few years ago. Was pleasantly surprised that it was not only as good as my boyhood memories of it but even better.
I love this movie so much.
One of the best movies of all time.
Love, love, love this movie...watched over 100 times...
Jeremiah Johnson, made his way into to the mountains ... he was bettin' on forgettin' all the troubles that he knew ...
So sparse, so true and yet so awfully ironic.
Easily one of my all-time favorite movies.
It's an amazing film
É o melhor filme que já vi na vida. 🇧🇷
Me too my friend. Not many words, but then it didn't really need many.
I think this and the outlaw Josey Wales are my 2 favorite westerns
I saw the film shortly after its debut. I was 11. A masterpiece, even to an 11-year-old. Can't make anything like it in today's woke Hollywood.
I watched it around the same age but about twenty years after you. Had a profound impact on me as a child
🤣🤣🤡🤣🤣
Top ten movies for me. One I can and will watch monthly.
It's a great movie.😊
I rate this as one of the greatest.
"Are you the one who avenges the Crazy Woman in the Bobtail Valley? She's big medicine - so are you if ye be that man."
One of my favorite scenes when Jeremiah and Del Q encounter the party of Flathead Indians.
named my first child jeremiah because of this film
My favorite movie of all time. 👌
One of the best movies…….ever.
Great movie it inspired me to want to go to Alaska (the last frontier) at 13 years old. Four years later at 17 yoa I joined the US ARMY and went to Alaska. I am almost 62 now and live in Florida. How quickly time passes, and things change 😂
My favorite movie of all time
Funny...the rifle sound affect fired, but not the rifle. Still I watched this with my older brother at the theater. Still one of my all time favorite movies and on my every-so-often-watchlist.
The settler had a fright induced Nd.🤔
The shack would have been full of smoke, and the guy inside would have disappeared. 😂
A few years later, Qualen opened a saloon in Santa Rio.
Outstanding movie, that I loved when I first saw it in the theater back in my early High School days of 1972/73. One minor quibble, was that the brass-mounted "Hawken Rifle" was a mistake for the movie, as practically all rifles the "fur trappers / Mountain Men" used in that 1807-1850(?) era would have been iron mounted, plain, practical working weapons. Browned iron and steel blends into the background, while brass stands out like a neon light!
Look close, that's Tanya Tucker in the shelter. ❤
You are correct.
She's the gal without the hairband the camera stays on for a moment right before cutting back to Redford and Matt (Qualen) Clark.
Perhaps Pollack's greatest achievement. Certainly Redford's.
I saw this movie, but it was so long ago that I can’t remember it, except little bits here and there.
