I've seen "Jeremiah Johnson" perhaps a dozen times. If you believe in reincarnation, you'll understand why. Despite, cold, hunger and the ever present possibility of death, the appeal of the life of the fur trappers of the early 1800's has never waned for me. These were among the most uniquely free and heroic individuals ever to walk the planet. Redford and director Pollack tell this one mountain man's story in a truly lyrical way, smoothing even the very rough edges into a kind of impressionist painting of humans, nature and survival. See it whether you hate "Westerns" or not. It really doesn't fit that category, happening as it does mostly in mountains, with a very limited cast of characters. The mountains are the real stars here, though Redford is a rock of a presence, saying more when silent than when speaking. This movie is about transcendence and transformation, elegant and ethereal. You can't do much better.
