Where this movie lost my interest
It didn't take too long for me to change the channel on this one. Jeremiah Johnson gets the bald guy out of the ground and they catch up with the Indians that done baldy wrong, etc. Baldy manages to screw up Jeremiah's plan by shooting at the sleeping Indians and upsetting Redford for almost getting him killed. Baldy gathers scalps and horses, supplies, etcetera from dead Indians. Jeremiah somehow decides it would be a good idea to keep riding with this half-cocked trigger-happy guy and his collection of scalps and stolen horses in case they run into more Indians who may either wish them harm or be thrilled about the Indians they done killed. *CLICK* hmmm, what else is on now?...
After that point I didn't really care about the main character or what happened to him and therefore didn't care to finish watching the overrated movie.
Not many in their right mind would think it was smart to continue riding with the bald guy...
Welcome to another Hollywood installment of 'Bad Writing 101'. The quickest line between 3 plot points (which we will call A, B and C) is a straight line. Plot point B must happen so that plot points C and so forth can occur. Don't bother thinking about whether or not plot point B makes any logical sense whatsoever just keep writing and hope nobody notices.
