An experience of human bravery and cowardice to see before our eyes.

Rating: 8/10 (8 January 2016)

The Revenant is not a common movie which you can watch for amusement. It has a deeper idea, a very reflective intention, than being a movie itself.
Honestly, with the amazing visuals which bring this movie to life, made me question myself our very existence. This is so, due to the indirect importance of human-beings in harmony but also in chaos ( this is a paradox) with the astonishing wilderness.
Leonardo Dicaprio and Tom Hardy vanish into the flesh and blood of Hugh Glass and John Fitgerald respectively, two rivals which develop their hatred throughout the movie.
No need to say this because you may already have seen this in the trailer; stupendous sound effects, make-up and picture.
The main plot points are survival and vengeance due to human ignorance and selfishness which lead to betrayal and take the downward spiral to death. It is more of a survival-themed movie because most of the running time you see Hugh Glass cling for his life. Vengeance is only emphasized here and there , and it is conquered at the end of the movie.
Life; death, beauty; sorrow, self-indulgence; selflessness ... This movie, in a deep way is full of contradictory terms which make you think. The Revenant movie is like a metaphor - two unlike terms compared with each other - we see this every second in the movie : nature ; which is beautiful and is full of life but it is cruel/harsh and it can cause death.
