The historical authenticity of it stuns me every time and that's not so much in terms of the immediate story but rather it's in the way it's portrayed. All of the horses are American as I didn't notice any Arabians in it anywhere. Arabians are immediately recognizable from some of their physical traits so I'm sure that evaluation is accurate.
There's nothing beautiful in the movie beyond the raw beauty of it is Sondra Locke but she and Eastwood were in a clinch for some years after that so even the love story aspect was real.
The reality goes down to tiny things like when Josey Wales orders some grain feed for the horses. Did you ever hear that happen in a cowboy movie before. That kind of immaculate detail is why the marveling at the movie.
Maybe most notable of all in the movie is all the Indians are real. There's no insult to the Indian Nation through importing actors to pretend the parts.
I ran a clip yesterday with one of the best scenes from the movie. Ithaka: "The Outlaw Josey Wales" (1976) | Best Scene with Ten Bears
The Rockhouse loves the general theme that the government is the problem and only the people together can solve it. Talking in truth does bring peace and those are true Words of Life.
