Jeremiah Johnson (2/7) Movie CLIP - Buried (1972) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Jeremiah Johnson (Robert Redford) meets Del Gue (Stefan Gierasch) who was buried in sand by Native American warriors.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Years before Kevin Costner danced with wolves, Robert Redford headed to the mountains to escape civilization in Sydney Pollack's wilderness western. Around 1850, ex-soldier Johnson (Redford) decides that he would rather live alone as a mountain man in Colorado than deal with society's constraints. After a series of setbacks, he meets grizzled mountain veteran Bear Claws (Will Geer), who teaches him how to survive. Jeremiah strives to live as peaceably as possible in the rugged environment, trading with the native Crow tribe, adopting a boy (Josh Albee) after his family is massacred, and even marrying the daughter (Delle Bolton) of a Flathead chief in order to avoid confrontation. He settles into a mountain home with his family, but the U.S. cavalry, complete with a puritanical Reverend, interrupt the idyll to compel Jeremiah to lead them over the mountains and through a Crow burial ground to rescue white settlers. After the Crow kill his family in retaliation, Jeremiah's frenzied moment of payback precipitates a long-running vendetta, turning him into a legendary Indian killer at the expense of his original ideals, on the way to a final moment of grace. Spectacularly shot on location in Utah, the film captures both the appeal and the challenge of the landscape that Jeremiah chooses over civilization. With an unglamorous performance by Redford and a story that questioned white colonialism while mythologizing the man of nature, Jeremiah Johnson appealed to its 1972 audience and became one of the biggest hits of the year. Wavering between heroicizing Jeremiah for surviving and damning him for killing, Jeremiah Johnson took its place among the Vietnam-era cycle of critical westerns, like Arthur Penn's Little Big Man (1970) and Robert Altman's McCabe and Mrs. Miller (1971), that condemned civilization for corrupting the wilderness and preventing individuals from going pacifistically native.

[waymanjohnson]

There really was a Mountain Man named Jeremiah Johnson. That fought with the Blackfoot. What the movie didn't show is what Johnson did that made him very feared by his enemy. Knowing his enemy well, he knew thier beliefs. He would cut out thier liver and have himself a bite. This...the natives believed that if they could even still make it to the happy hunting ground they would not have the intestinal fortitude to face Jeramiah Johnson in the afterlife. This is what earned him the nickname "Liver eatin Johnson" he did it for that reason and to make the others think twice before attacking him. Not because he was a twisted cannibal.

[crushmash]

"I said, Mother Gue...the Rocky Mountain's is the marrow of the earth...and by God if I wasn't right"

[amanofmanyfaces]

I still can not explain what magic was performed between 0:44 where the sand around this lucky man was all tore up and had a stick poking upright and at 1:03 where the sand was smooth and he had a ring of sweat around his head when only about half a minute of conversation has passed. Movie magic will never cease to amaze
