Jeremiah
Johnson
[DVD Jeremiah]
An American soldier goes west to escape war
and becomes a mountain man. He is taken in by an old trapper who teaches him how
to survive off the land. After treading an Indian burial ground, he suffers
strange misfortune: love and lives lost as well as a grudge between him and the
Crow Indian tribe. Beautiful scenery and a great role portrayed by Robert
Redford. Not the action-packed "cowboys and indians" Western you'd expect,
rather slow moving. [If you like this, you may also enjoy Butch
Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Gunsmoke, Dr. Quinn
Medicine Woman, and Dances with Wolves.] -- recommended by Jeremiah J. - Bennett Martin Public Library
[Also available in audiotape,
book-on-cd
[abridged or unabridged], and Large
Print formats.]
