Outstanding, But Brutal, Extreme Violence In Leonardo DiCaprio's Revenge Western (Based On The True Events Of Hugh Glass)

Rating: 10/10 (2 September 2018)

Survival and revenge are two terms to describe this exhilarating and wonderful masterpiece directed by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu. The Revenant is a 2015 Western (at least I think it is in my own opinion) film directed by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu. Set back in 1823, a frontiersman named Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his Pawnee son named Hawk (Forrest Goodluck) are a part of Andrew Henry's (Domhnall Gleeson) trappers. After Glass gets mauled by a grizzly bear, he is left extremely injured. However, everything changes when a fellow trapper named John Fitzgerald (Tom Hardy) kills Glass' son Hawk. Looking to avenge his son's murder, Glass sets out to travel miles and miles to get to Fitzgerald. Let's not forget that he also has to travel through the shivering cold and the snowy terrain.
I can't even believe that this movie is based on true events. If someone had to go through in what Glass went through in this movie, they would die instantly. As to the extreme violence, this two and a half hour movie shows pain and suffering throughout the whole entire movie. I would also definitely not recommend the Revenant to any young kids, because the violence is just way over the top. Despite the violence, this movie is extremely great and has many different advantages in how satisfying it is. The casting, including Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy, did a phenomenal job on each of their characters. The director, who is Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, provided a surprising lead in direction while never standing down. By the way, the filming and the making of this movie was pretty tough. The weather conditions they filmed it in and the snowy terrain obviously made it harder. Even some of the crew members quit, because of how difficult it was. On the other hand, one of the most terrific experiences in this movie was the beautiful cinematography! Emmanuel Lubezki also provided an extremely great touch in filming this movie. However, there is so much great subjects about this movie and it is awesome! I give credit to the cast for their outstanding performances in their characters, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu for his amazing direction, and Emmanuel Lubezki for his beautifully shot scenery on the Revenant. This truly was an amazing picture, but also extremely tough.
For everyone who has seen this movie, we all know that this movie is off the charts in violence. It's brutal and that's all I have to say about that. However, I loved this movie! The plot line was not only an interesting story, but it was also based on true events! Does Hugh Glass make it to Fitzgerald? Does Glass ever survive in the wilderness? Watch (or at least try to) the Revenant to find out what happens. I give the Revenant a 10 out of 10 for its extremely great plot, casting, direction, and filming! Everything about this movie was fantastic!
The Revenant: Won 3 Oscars - Best Actor (Leonardo DiCaprio), Best Director (Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu), and for Best Cinematography (Emmanuel Lubezki)
