arguably Robert Redford’s best movie

This is arguably Robert Redford’s best movie. He plays Jeremiah Johnson, ex military man who moves to the Rocky Mountains to start over. Not only do you have to admire his acting and how he flawlessly delivers a line but you have to admire the wonderful and beautiful scenery where the film was made. Filmed in Utah, I‘m surprised no one has made a “Come to Utah” video from this film! It is a simple story told well and in an era where computer generated graphics and massive explosions dominate the film market today, it was nice to see a film where it went back to basics and that is something that needs to be appreciated. This is effectively a one man show with Redford but the supporting cast also does an excellent job, especially Will Greer who plays Bear Claw. The film overall is certainly interesting and the ending is a little sad, but I’m sure you will enjoy it.
