The Revenant Story line : Inspired by true events, THE REVENANT captures one man's epic adventure of survival and the extraordinary power of the human spirit. In an expedition of the uncharted American wilderness, legendary explorer Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio) is brutally attacked by a bear and left for dead by members of his own hunting team. In a quest to survive, Glass endures unimaginable grief as well as the betrayal of his confidant John Fitzgerald (Tom Hardy). Guided by sheer will and the love of his family, Glass must navigate a vicious winter in a relentless pursuit to live and find redemption. Written by 20th Century Fox
User Review : this was a terrific film that repeats often chronicled reports that people can survive a terrific amount of weight falling on them,for instance in a car crash,where the driver is pinned under a 3,000 lb.metal paperweight. Although,it is easy to believe you can kill a bear w/ one bullet,& several knife wounds(I read somewhere that Alaskan Kodiak bears can reach 8' tall standing);I never imagined a film would show a person almost getting killed from the dead carcass he killed landing on top of him,after collapsing & falling down a ravine(?).Despite all the long beard, I instantly recognized him as Leo diCaprio,but could not figure out who the villain was underneath all that makeup hair & the southern, pre -civil war speech vernacular(it was that same guy who plays those British gangsters,Tom Hardy!).THere were so many pithy, aphorisms he said(will have to return & see film a 2nd time to write them all down), I thought that Inarritu had hired Ralph Peters as a dialogue coach!(CAIN AT GETTYSBURG@2012); I also thought this is a very good film,in the model of many Hollywood westerns about "Lewis & Clark Expedition" type adventures about explorers tracking the western Frontier & confronting bloodthirsty indians,etc.,in showing the types of wardrobe that John Richardson & Glass wore,the typical long bore weapons, the type of diet,(it looked like diCaprio caught a live fish & bit into it?,i dunno,it sure looked like it!); Also, this is described as a revenge movie,so I impute that to mean,diCaprio is trying to find the ones(Hardy) that done him wrong. All in all,I rate this a 10 out of 10,the Bear should get an honorary Oscar for all the shaking he did of diCaprio's body, I thought he was going to eat him alive,but then the bear seemed to just walk on top of him to lick his face....?
More civil war aphorisms(an aphorism is a concise way of describing a depressing truth?)
