Movie | Jeremiah Johnson | Pass

Sydney Pollack directs Robert Redford in this excellent old west movie about a trapper who gets involved with murderous Native American Indians - and ends up being more blood thirsty than they are.

Based on a supposedly true story, the tales of this character are really wild and this movie reflects some of them (thankfully, the cannibalism is left out). Redford is just amazing to watch and deserves all of the accolades he's ever won. There are several other notable actors in this, but it's really his movie and he's completely believable as a rough mountain man.

It's fun to see a movie that has an intermission, too. When was the last time you saw that? It gives the movie a feeling that the story will unroll slowly and deliberately, which it does.

Definitely a Pass for this classic.
