A Masterpiece Film -An Illustration of the human will

Rating: 10/10 (17 January 2016)

This film illustrates the power of the human will. You can tell by looking at the scenes that the crew worked through harsh conditions but still they pushed through and finished what they started.I loved the indigenous characters in the film it showed their intelligence, bravery, and connection to their surroundings and family members. It showed how they suffered, lost, and fought to survive. The cinematography is amazing. The scenes were well planned and executed with creativity in each shot. The storytelling through images did not even need words because the frames spoke for themselves. Leonardo Dicaprio performance really gave me a new respect for him. He has played some interesting roles but for him to take on a role that challenged him physically and emotionally shows that he is growing as an even greater actor.His role in this film took his status as a celebrity and brought attention to the subjects of brutality,greed,violence,faith, and the power of the human will. I knew this film was going to be a great film since the first preview I saw at the theaters. The film proved to be everything I was hoping it to be. Salute to each and every person who contributed their time and energy to this project.
