jeremiah johnson


After I watched this movie, I think this is a good one.
The story of Jeremiah Johnson is about the man who spend his life in the Rockey mountain for fur ( I mean he hunted beaver for fur )and hunted some animal for eat. He met Bear Claw who teach him about the survival technique for live in the mountain,
and soon encounters a crazy woman whose husband and daughter were killed by Indians. She asks Jeremiah to look after her son, who has been mute ever since.
Next, they encounter some Flathead Indians who are fundamentally peace-loving Indians, and Jeremiah gives them the scalps of the Indians that they have killed and some of the horses. In exchange, he receives the chief's sister as a wife. They spend their life with a happiness but one day, some white settlers come along and ask for Jeremiah's help in locating a stranded wagon train.Jeremiah unwillingly leads the settlers through a Crow burial ground, and then returns home to find his wife and son dead - killed by Crow Indians presumably in revenge for his desecration of their sacred burial ground. Jeremiah kills several Crows in retaliation, and continues to kill the Crow warriors sent to kill him.Finally, Jeremiah returns to the crazy woman's house - she has long been killed by Indians, and he sees a monument to himself. He also sees the Crow chief, and finally it appears, peace is made. I think I like this movie because that's shown me the way of how to spending their life the culture, I like most the scene which they help each other for building a house, they looks like real family and I feel warming. I also like the location in the movie, everything were coated by snow, It's looks so beautiful. and the last I think that the movie have less dialog, that made the film so quiet and that made me a little bored.

This is one of my favorite movies. It is also pretty good to teach beginners some English - a lot of action with a little speaking.

There was a real Jeremiah Johnson. Go to the internet and find out about him. Try to find a special photo of him and some other guys and read about the photo. Why is it interesting and who else is in it? Write down all the people's name who is in this photo. You will see these names again as we move through the western expansion of America.

Good on you.
