Wasn't "Johnathon Livingston Seagull" a similar movie from 1973 with no dialog from humans? No Redford, but no acting either...just birds. My favorite Redford film was "Jeremiah Johnson". Followed by "The Sting" and "Butch Cassidy". I was always hoping that Redford and Newman would do another film together.
Beautiful memory of an amazing man who made a positive difference in the world around him - his loss is deeply felt & really hurts! Thanks for sharing your loving reflection!
that movie was great, and now I want to watch it again! It's on Amazon Prime, which I have, & it's available on other platforms. I imagine there will be a lot of viewers now!!! Redford chose a variety of roles, & was great.
NYT, etc, etc --- and again, not a fan of Trump, however if law suits can make news somehow be trusted to not be biased, not use misleading headlines, not leave out true info --- & yes, both sides do it, BUT NYT is VERY guilty, & not just about Trump, but the most glaring, imo, was after Oct 7 Hamas attack & kidnapping & rapes of hostages.
and, again, the situation in Gaza is awful = if hostages had not been taken, if hostages would have been released immediately, this would not be happening

"If my story stops even one person from falling for a scam like this, it will be worth sharing" --- I hope so, too. I NEVER ANSWER ANY PHONE NUMBER I'M NOT FAMILIAR W/. THEY WILL LEAVE A MESSAGE. If the message sounds like something this guy rec'd, I would call the main #, not return the call left from the message. Plus I don't have any payment system on my phone. The message I keep getting now is "Hi, I'm ... & I can help you w/ your overdue taxes" --- hahaha, little do they know...
btw, our community sends out scam alerts on a regular basis. I just rec'd the following:
Scammers seem to come up with new tricks every day. One that has tricked a lot of residents involves Google and other well-known internet search engines.
Search engines can be very helpful. However, scammers have learned how to insert their contact information into search results. Sometimes they buy their way to the top of search results with paid ads. They can also sometimes get their information into the organic results (the ones that are not ads or “sponsored”), so those are not necessarily safe either. If you do a search looking for customer assistance from your bank or any large company, you are likely to be offered scam results. They look real, and if you call the number, they will sound real. You will not know the difference until they steal your money or information.
Some of the most dangerous ones pose as Microsoft, Apple, the Geek Squad, or other tech support. These scammers may say they can help if you just click a link on an image or give them access to your computer. Don’t do it.
The scammers may use teams of actors to convince you they are legitimate. For example, they can easily impersonate Microsoft, your bank’s fraud department and the FBI—all of them working together to help you. They will probably know a lot about you. It seems good until all the money in your bank account disappears.
Many residents have done internet searches and been connected to a scammer. Some of those residents lost significant amounts. Instead of using Google or another search engine:
Find the number you want elsewhere. Regular statements from your bank and other companies you deal with should have safe phone numbers on them. Your credit card issuer’s phone number is on the back of your card.
If you must get the number online, go to the company’s website. Be sure you are on the real website. Check the URL carefully. Remember that the scammers can duplicate any company’s website with almost no effort, then change the contact information and sit back and wait for your call.

Johnathon Livingston Seagull (book, movie and soundtrack) are outstanding. So much depth and meaning.
Thank you, Bob, for all the great movies.
