Based on one of the great true stories of survival, the film centers on Hugh Glass, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, a guide on a trapping expedition who is mauled by a bear when he stumbles between her and her cubs. The captain of the expedition, unable to find the moral strength to mercy-kill him, leaves Glass with his half-native son and two other men: John Fitzgerald (played with perfect menace by Tom Hardy) and a young boy who follows Fitzgerald's instructions. Though they have been paid to wait around for Glass to die, they aren't willing to wait long enough. Fitzgerald, in an effort to hurry things along, kills Glass's son and leaves Glass himself half-buried on the edge of a mountain. From this point on, the movie basically becomes a series of Dicaprio-torture vignettes. Glass crawls out his grave and across a valley in the middle of winter, eating scraps off carcasses, his whole body covered with septic wounds. I am familiar with the parts of Alberta in which they shot most of the movie, and I have no idea how DiCaprio did what he did.
Those rivers are so cold in the middle of August that your foot will go numb in them. How he managed to put his whole body in a freezing river in midwinter is totally beyond me. Whether these feats are enough to earn him the Oscar he craves, I don't know. His performance is superb, if it can even be called a performance. He must be in real pain. He sure looks it. DiCaprio's performance will probably be what everybody talks about.
But to see The Revenant as a DiCaprio flick would be a big mistake. The film's cinematography is among the greatest ever seen in a Western; at immense expense, brilliant cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki shot every scene with natural light and in sequence. He captures the gorgeous and cruel beauty of Alberta with immaculate precision. Introduction to international relations pdf. The battle scenes are magnificent too, completely chaotic and frantic long shots. Who survives and who doesn't is more or less accidental. Intimate and lunatic and desperate, they are the most innovative battle scenes since Saving Private Ryan.
If genius is the infinite capacity for taking pains, as the saying goes, then The Revenant is a genius film. It demonstrates how movies will never be fully supplanted by television; no one could possibly suffer this much for a show. It breathes with the agony of its making. It is the kind of film that justifies, in its joyful exploration of the possibilities of the medium, the unique glories of cinema and all that it can be.
