Dersu Uzala (1975 film) It is a Kurosawa film and epic in many ways. It is one of my wife's friends favorite film
If you are a survivalist or are interested in learning more about Survival in colder places like Siberia there is a lot to learn from this epic Kurosawa film about Siberia. A Surveyor who is a Captain in the Russian Army in 1902 meets Dersu Uzala who lives alone in the Siberian Wilderness as a hunter gatherer. This is a really amazing movie if you can handle it. It has a lot to teach everyone about survival and what goes into it. (Actually surviving in the wilderness in all kinds of conditions)
I think I found it through Amazon Prime and possibly through the connect we have to Paramount through Amazon Prime for streaming. We were able to watch it for around 3 dollars or so. Amazing movie but it is tough to watch in many ways but depicts people in some ways the way I knew them to be still in the 1950s. Life was much more tenuous in the 1950s or the early 1900s than now. Dying happened often early and often whether people were children or adults. Traumas were dealt with any way people could survive things. You see this often in this movie how people survive difficult situations in their lives in the early 1900s but it was still a lot like this through the 1950s and early 1960s and only began to change to something somewhat different here in the U.S. by the 1970s and after. I was born in 1948 and so I met people that remind me a lot of people in this movie. People in some ways were pretty primitive and simple and less complicated than they are now (at least here in the U.S.).

"Dersu
Uzala" is epic in form yet intimate in scope. Set in the forests of
Eastern Siberia at the turn of the century, it is a portrait of the
friendship that grows between an aging hunter and a Russian surveyor. A
romantic hymn to nature and the human spirit, it boasts a performance by
Maxim Munzuk as the wise and wizened old man of the Taiga.
