The REVENANT

Jul 21, 2024 2:24 PM

Hugh Glass, a legendary frontiersman, is severely injured in a bear attack and is abandoned by his hunting crew. He uses his skills to survive and take revenge on his companion, who betrayed him.

For me, The Revenant is in the same category as Aronofsky's " Requiem for a Dream" and Spielberg's "Schindler's List" and is essentially a good movie, but I don't think I could watch it a second time. All of these movies have very bad situations that can be disturbing and disgusting even while watching them because they are so real and gripping. It's shocking to me to think that the events in this movie have happened or will happen. It's not that I didn't enjoy this movie. Resurrection made me wonder "How did they do this?"

A talent that makes you wonder. The film is a masterpiece, with beautiful cinematography and clever camerawork. It seems the best actors to come along for the ride are the great guys who gave us Birdman: Lubezki and Inarritu. There are many long, unshot scenes scattered throughout the film, and this, along with the fact that the film relies heavily on spatial shooting and lighting quality, adds to the heightened awareness that it can surprise even the novice.

The camera isn't the only important part of the film; many have praised DiCaprio's performance, but I loved Hardy's ruthless and courageous character, Fitzgerald. Of course, half of the words that came out of his mouth were not understood, but it left no doubt in my mind that instead of playing a character named Fitzgerald, Hardy put himself into the role and brought Fitzgerald to life.

However, the film still has its flaws. At some points things move slowly and are laughable. One gets the impression that the film itself is proud and eager to present all the beautiful landscapes and photographs. There's also the "he shouldn't be alive" situation. Hugh Glass is a real person who survived a bear attack, but in the movies they made the man immortal. Many times I thought, "Now he must die three times so that I can enjoy this movie as much as possible."

It is one of the best movies of 2015 and deserves the excitement. It's easy to see why viewer reaction would be more divided, but the low rating is too harsh for me. The visuals, acting, and acting were all excellent and even if the movie wasn't great for me, it wouldn't go below a 4 or 5. Simply put, The Revenant is the best movie of the year and a work in progress. Pure beauty. The scenes are atmospheric and the lighting is very natural, but what shines most is the intimate and immersive cinematography.

Inarritu's direction is even better than his superb work on Birdman, one of the best directors of the year. Great show and everyone shows great promise. Leonardo DiCaprio won his only Oscar for his performance here, and it was well-received, full of emotion and honesty, dangerous in one of his best films and performances. Tom Hardy is good at bringing a bad attitude to his character and Will Poulter is great too.

There's more to The Revenant than meets the eye. The performances are very intense and the story is deliberately paced and very simple but draws the audience into it in an intense and emotional way. Represents strong characters. The lowest price of the movie is its script, which is not bad but sometimes broken. 

The natural scenery and some scenes are so simple and beautiful! The photographs are so gripping that you believe they are part of Hugh Glass's journey from wilderness to civilization. Not only did DiCaprio and Hardy deliver strong performances, but his performance as a hairy rival also showed. In terms of story, it's a bit weak for a 156 minute movie. Glass's desire for revenge is sometimes impossible because he rarely talks about his motivation, more or less.

The story of a Native American looking for his daughter seemed a bit out of place and strange. We can also see the feel of the hair. This puts the glass behind them and a good leader in front of them. To me, this is just a small part of the perilous journey of the magic of glass. All my stars are just for beauty, looks and performance! But this is one of those long-running movies that people love but will never watch again!
