Few western movies bring the history of pioners in the deepness of the frontiers that separate native people and the Anglo-Saxon populations. Those pioneers have made a work of non-official diplomacy to expand these frontiers a bit further with a price of their own lives. Even though different principles and goals separate these two civilizations in the clash for the same territory, there was common ground on the values of how to deserve the land and its gifts, and how to judge bravery and true spirituality. Jeremiah Johnson mixes it up film and documentary portraying a historical report from the rush to the west. This must-see movie keeps the distance of the easy formulas that split good and bad.
