Sundance Weighs in on Robert Redford’s Lack of Meme Recognition
The Sundance Film Festival is taking exception to those who thought legendary actor Robert Redford — the festival’s co-founder — isn’t the bearded figure in the nodding mountain man meme.
“When you don’t get credit for being a meme… (Robert Redford),” the caption from the official Sundance Twitter account reads, accompanying a Gif of a disapproving Redford from the 1982 sports film “The National.”
The nodding man meme that resurfaced on social media earlier this week is a Gif of a scene in the 1972 film “Jeremiah Johnson.” In the Gif, Redford’s character, a Mexican-American War veteran, is casting for fish when he looks up and nods approvingly at on-looking natives.
