    No less than Orson Welles said that if it hadn't been for some snobbery about Eastwood being the director, this would have been considered a masterpiece, which, cf course, means that Welles thought it was.

      This movie is an absolute masterpiece in my book. Incredible dialogue and storyline. The acting is fantastic. The characters come to life. 10/10 in my book.

    One of the best films ever made! I was initially introduced to it by my grandfather. It was one of his favorite movies. Now it remains one of mine.

    Redlegs/Jayhawkers: Kansas anti-slavery partisans who were operating before and through the Civil War.
    Bushwhackers: Missouri and Kansas pro-slavery partisans who also operated before and during the Civil War.
    These groups formed as a result of the Missouri Compromise, where it was determined that Kansas and other new states would decide by popular vote whether the territory would be added to the union as a slave state or free. This started a rush to populate the territory by both sides, and eventually led to both sides forming their own armed militias for defense and offense, leading to tit for tat violence in what's known as Bleeding Kansas.
    Not sure if anyone needs to read this, but I thought it'd be useful to provide some context for Josey's situation.

      One correction, the violence began as a result of the 1854 Kansas-Nebraska Act, which called for Popular Sovereignty in the federal territories, not the 1820 Missouri Compromise, which was repealed by the Kansas-Nebraska Act.
      What's ironic is that the Missouri Compromise was declared unconstitutional, but under the Property Clause Congress possesses the power to make or regulate property laws in the federal territories, which means the Kansas-Nebraska Act was unconstitutional.

    Me and my buddy went to see it in the theatre when it was first released. We went to see it four or five more times during its initial run, A special movie. One of my favorites of all time. You two guys did a wonderful job of reviewing and understanding the intricate tapestry of the movie. Cheers, and hats off to both of you.

    @stevefitt9538 2 года назад +5

    I totally disagree that Josie is still out for revenge as he heads toward Texas. Name one person that he kills in all that time that wasn't trying to kill him. And, at the end he doesn't go after Fletcher, he lets him talk and then lets him go. I see Josie as a total badass, who will kill you if you start it, but he never starts the violence. Ten Bears has already started the violence, and still he offers peace knowing full well that he will die if the answer is death. This is also my favorite movie.

  • @Texasjim2007

    Josey was never going to walk away from the Indian girl being raped. Only a very short time passed and he was getting the lay of the land. He walked over and interrupted them in a matter of seconds. Especially after what happened to his wife, there is little chance he'd ignore some rapists in the act.

    35:02 Granny explains in a bit of dialogue that her son (and Sandra Locke's character's father) was killed in the Civil War fighting for the Union as a "Redleg" in Kansas. IOW, he was Josey's enemy and was a member of the very unit that killed Josey's family. Josey's new "family" after the war is made up of family members of someone who killed Josey's own family before the war.

  • @Texasjim2007
    @Texasjim2007 Год назад +1

    An important point that makes this film historically significant is that it was first released in June 1976 when Jimmy Carter had just about won the Democratic Primary. After getting creamed by Nixon's Southern Strategy in the last two Presidential elections, Carter was the first Southern Democrat on the ticket since LBJ's 1964 landslide and a lot of the subtext here is playing to that.

    Great movie review! Thank you for giving an English perspective.
    Clint Eastwood makes great movies, plain and simple. Clint’s westerns are very realistic. I live in the American Southwest.
    I will say the terrain is real, the characters are realistic, and the characters are very dirty. People in these time periods lacked washing machines and showers.
    I would like to hear the criticism of the film you spoke of. The things you mentioned are legitimate flaws. But I personally see nothing else.
    The Outlaw Josie Wales is a great film.

    If you want another atypical western from the 1970s, check out Bad Company (1972). One of Jeff Bridges earliest films a couple of years before he did Thunderbolt & Lightfoot with Clint Eastwood. Great cast, and a brutal, cynical, dark tone that gives Unforgiven a run for its money.

    I didn't read all the comments. However, they did say how Granny's son died. He was riding with the Senator's (I forget his name) Red Legs (the guys who raped and killed Josie's wife and son) and he died in the war. This makes her and Josie's other friends killing all the Red Legs at the end all the more significant.

  • @craigwiggins253

    Didn't see this mentioned but on the DVD when it was released had a segment where Clint talked about making this movie. He said most of Chief Dan George lyrics were made up on the spot by him. He said Chief Dan George couldn't remember his lines so they let him make it up on the go. When you realise this his lines were just brilliant.

  • @Bluebuthappy182
    @Bluebuthappy182 2 года назад +1

    An amazing movie, have loved it since I was a kid. You have to remember the Vietnam War has just ended the year before. So the themes of people you love being murdered in a war and gathering your own makeshift family together to help you heal, will it would have meant a lot to a lot of people. Also when Josey says. "I guess we all lost something in that war." It would have spoken directly to a lot of the audience at the time. One more thing where Josie is silhouetted in the doorway where he kills the horse traders, that is a call back to the ending shots of a John Wayne movie called the Searchers, which is another great movie by the way and well worth a look.

    The people who killed Josey's family weren't Union soldiers. They were a group of people who were "sanctioned" by the Union to do guerrilla warfare which was more along the lines of terrorism. Josey ended up being with a Confederate counterpart.
    Also the guys attacking the wagon in the Comanche territory are a group known as Comancheros, they were white men who traded with the Comanche people by raiding any ranchers, farmers & travelers they came acrtgen selling the goods to the Comanche
