terrific passion for survival

Rating: 10/10 (22 February 2016)

I am extremely happy I saw the 2hr36minute movie The Revenant. excellent Direction once again by Alejandro González Inarritu (loved Birdman , Babel )and superb acting by Leonardo DiCaprio (awesome in every movie :wolf of WS, Departed, Shutter island, Revolutionary Road to name a few) as Hugh Glass. Hugh Glass fights for surviving the bitter cold after he is left behind by his team in 1820s.He survives the bitter cold and seeks shelter and warmth inside body of a dead horse after he removes all organs. I love the scenes where Hugh crawls into dead horse empty on the inside. I enjoyed when Hugh makes friends with the native American and enjoys sticking out his tongue and making happy sounds. The scenes when Hugh sees his young son dragged and killed are done very well. When one loves life and has a strong desire to live, one can withstand whatever comes in the way and Hugh Glass proves this in the movie. Terrific. Superb movie. Excellent acting by Leonardo DiCaprio. Superb Cinematography. Superb Direction. Oscar worthy in many categories.
