| Loosely based on a real mountain man named Jeremiah Johnson, I liked this movie a lot. The scenery, story, fighting and revenge were all well done. Hallmarks of a classic western, although I wouldn't necessarily call this a western. It is set in the west and there are indians and revenge, but thats pretty much where the similarities end. My only complaints are that Redford plays more of a sensitive mountain man than I would expect and there is an undercurrent of hippieishness that I am guessing wasn't part of 1850s America. | |
