Winner of many awards, a story of survival in the 1800s.

Rating: Null/10 (2 May 2016)

I watched it at home on DVD from my public library. My wife chose to NOT see it, not her kind of movie.
A 'revenant' strictly speaking is someone who was dead then came back alive. That isn't exactly what happens here but for the men who left Glass for dead it may as well be accurate.
Leonardo DiCaprio is Hugh Glass, and for this role he finally won his Best Actor Oscar. He is part of a medium sized hunting party, they are amassing animal hides to take back to civilization to sell. They have to watch for Native Americans who can be deadly.
But Glass tangles with a Grizzly Bear that surprises him. He survives but is very badly wounded and when his men find him do not believe he will survive much longer. His nemesis is Tom Hardy as John Fitzgerald, also a member of the party but only wanting to take care of himself, and with a hostile attitude towards Natives.
This is a long movie, right at 2 1/2 hours, but it is a very captivating story with great cinematography, mostly in the Canadian mountains in winter.
MAJOR SPOILERS: Left behind in the snowy woods to watch over Glass are his son, a half-breed, a young soldier, and Fitzgerald, who only wants to get back to his pelts and get his profits. He kills the son and buries Glass, still alive, and they leave. But Glass doesn't ever give up, he pulls himself out of the grave and crawls because his legs are damaged. He has many adventures over the days and weeks before getting back to the fort, gradually regaining his ability to walk as his wounds heal. Fitzgerald is surprised and realizing the truth will come out he steals money and heads towards Texas. But Glass tracks him down, there is a final fight in the snow, a band of Natives arrive and take care of Fitz, known also to be a kidnapper and rapist of Native women.
