I like a film like this! Absolutely no attempt is made to impress the viewer. It's just a simple, episodic story about a man who strikes out on his own and must live with the attendant isolation, loneliness, and danger. (The title sequence of my copy says 'Eagle's Wings, a film by Clyde Ware'. Apparently, it's gone under three different titles.)
There's a little humour thrown in. Sheen's character has to deal with a bear claiming squatter's rights, uppity fish, skeptical raccoons. (It's interesting how we never see the other human characters, save for a dying soldier. And I'm sure one voice-over belongs to Wayne Rogers!) Musical score provided by what sounds like the Sunday Afternoon Hippie Bluegrass Garage Band. Yet this only adds to the film's simple charm.
The IMDb commentator who could only say "ugh" about this film really should just stick to all the bloated Hollywood blockbusters he can consume.
