The outlaw Josey Wales - Clint Eastwood DVD
) 
3 of 9 people found this review helpful.
The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976), Clint Eastwood's 31st film as an actor, 20th as international star and fifth as director, was the first to win him widespread respect. Critics had grumbled when the producer-star replaced Philip Kaufman (The Right Stuff) in the director's chair a week into shooting. They ended up cheering when Eastwood delivered both his most sympathetic performance to date and--with the heroic collaboration of cinematographer Bruce Surtees--an impressive Panavision epic that stresses the scruffiness, rather than the scenic splendours, of frontier life.
During the Civil War, Union "Redlegs" attack Southerner Josey Wales's dirt farm and wipe out his family. Seeking vengeance, Wales throws in with a company of Reb guerrillas. Tagged as a renegade after the surrender, he flees west into the vastness of the Indian Territories, where, quite unintentionally, he finds himself cast as the straight-shooting paterfamilias of an ever-growing, spectacularly motley community of misfits and castaways. This is to say, Josey's personal quest for survival and something like peace of mind evolves into a funky, multicultural allegory of the healing of America.
Josey Wales is good, not great, Eastwood. The big-gun fetishism can get tiresome, and too many characters exist only to serve as six-gun (and at one point Gatling gun) fodder. But mostly the film is agreeably eccentric, and almost furtively sweet in spirit--a key transitional title in the Eastwood filmography, and one of his most entertaining

Eastwood's True Western Masterpiece!Review created: 04/10/08
by:

This is the western for which Clint Eastwood ought to have won his Oscars. Deservedly nominated for Best Picture in 1976, the buzz that year was with Copolla's second installment of the Godfather saga, and Eastwood's amazing cinematic masterpiece was ignored. That he was finally recognized for the much-inferior "Unforgiven" is a shameful irony.
The western genre was in decline by the 1970s and had largely devolved into cliché or cartoonish parody. The genius of Eastwood's vision was to take traditional western stereotypes and turn them on their heads, demythologize the rigidly black/white good-vs-evil Saturday morning matineé morality, and show us characters with real depth, real motivations and real inner conflicts; not always "good" or always "bad" but sometimes walking a fine line, driven to one side or the other by circumstances beyond one man's control.
The look of the film is gorgeous, showing us a smokey, autumnal by-gone world, sometimes crude, often gritty. It's not clear we'd want to live in such a time or place, but we are drawn in nonetheless. Wonderful acting, and a whole passel of great character actors (including the inimitable Chief Dan George) bring the story to vibrant life. There's plenty of action to keep the adrenaline flowing, and the story draws to a logical, satisfying, if artfully understated, conclusion. The score is also worthy of note; spare and expansive all at once, it ranks as one of the best to come out of the 70s.
Re-issued on DVD in 2001, this must-have western has been out of print for several years now and is becoming increasingly difficult to find except in some large, expensive anthology boxes. I'd recommend picking it up as soon as you can, especially since this DVD includes a fine "making of" documentary, an excellent companion to the film that you won't find anywhere else.
Buy it!

Civil War From One Man's PerspectiveReview created: 03/10/07
by:

This is my favorite spagetti western!! Called Spagetti because made in Italy with many other movies in a flurry of filming activity, which produced many films in a short period of time. Not great movies, but they have become classics because Clint Eastwood starred in them, and his career has drawn intense interest.
A man joins the Rebel cause, because of murder of his wife and child by a Union officer, "Redlegs." His troop fight as long as they can against the Union, and when they are captured, they are betrayed again by the evil Union officer and a gatlin' gun. Jose Wales escapes, and is hunted down by Redlegs, until everyone is shot, but him and Jose. They decide finally that their dispute is not important anymore, and both take lessons away from this conflict that measure the entire scope of the Civil War, death, and what happens to principles when the world falls apart.
Appealing mostly to men, this story is complete, and offers a glimpse of life in the desperate lane. Great movie from the best actor to ever produce western's: CLINT EASTWOOD.

I have purchased this and other DVDs on E- Bay . The products are fine , When I finaly get them. When I need Something E- bay is the first place that I look . I Have purchased Lap top computers , Tool, Auto parts, and all of this stuff gets here very quick. however DVD,s purchased from different companies right here in the U.S. take an average of about three weeks. If you have a company that ships a lot of stuff through the mail you can get any thing any where in the U.S. for the $4.00 to $6.00 The Dvd guys charge you for shipping in about a week. So I believe that they are charging for first class shiping and then using some extra slow bulk cheapo Rate.One of the best things about E-bay is the excellent customer service that most E-bay vendors provide. I think that the DVD Vendors need to try harder to live up to this standard.

I'm very satisfied with the product. Even though it's a previously viewed DVD, it's still in good condition. The packaging is intact with the original cover. I've been looking for this DVD for a very long time and when I saw it on E-Bay I was thrilled. I love the bidding and love getting stuff in the mail. :)

This movie grabs your attention from the get-go and never lets you snooze. It's actually a pretty serious flick, but has some light hearted moments (mostly from Chief Dan George). Watch out for brief nudity and strong language. Make sure your kids are mature enough to handle the extreme violence. I'd have to label this as a classic, if you like action movies.

Western Still In Style!Review created: 10/12/08
by:
The movie, The Outlaw Josey Wales, was recommended to me by a friend, because of its timeless message. I am not a big fan of westerns, but I found the message in this to be deeper than most westerns. It challenges the viewer to think. I had also expected it to be out-dated, but the quality was very good and the concepts were ahead of their time. I would highly recommend this western for those who love all genres of film.

Amazing Western! Eastwood kicks ass.This is a revenge western. Josey Wales is a southerner outlaw out for revenge. Just imagine Clint Eastewood's Dirty Harry in a western. Great movie. Pure badassness.

the easiest) and complete just 1 offer (Very important that you complete

There are plenty of cool offers to choose from such as Blockbuster
online, Stamp.com, Netflix, Gamefly which are services you would

them to get a free PS3 System or cash (I did the Stamps.com for a 30 day
free trial and it never cost me a penny and I received credit for it the
same day). Look at the offers and choose the one that works for you.
After signing up and completing your one offer, simply refer 8-13 people

Then they will ship your PS3 System or your selected item for free, I
chose the PS3 80gb System. No Joke, 100% REAL!!! The reason these
companies make money, is because most people don't bother getting all

The Outlaw Josey Wales (Clint Eastwood)I'm glad I was able to find this movie on ebay. I tried to find this movie in my hometown and was told this movie was put back in the vault and not available right now. When I received my copy from ebay I was extremely happy. There was not a scratch on the disc. I absolutely love this movie. It's a shame they don't make classic westerns anymore.
