On the Nature of Human's

Rating: 8/10 (26 June 2016)

So I year after, I finally had the opportunity to watch The Revenant. You are perplexed by the exuberant beauty and unrestrained brutality of nature. Iñárritu offers an interesting premise to explore, in which the harshest wilderness conditions can pale when confronted with the ruthless, unrestricted instincts of human nature. At the end, you end up realizing that both are complements of the same chaotic system. Perhaps, more atypical, and even exceptional, is to find the self- restraint and empathy that has evolved in humans under such harsh conditions. Survival of the fittest becomes gets extrapolated with survival through revenge motivation. An array of humans feelings and conditions get explored. The innocence of naive behaviors or basic instincts are explored. It also interesting to see how feebleness of order and morality. Food for thought under the turbulent world order that is unfolding.
