directing and cinematography

Rating: 8/10 (23 March 2017)

Same guy who directed Birdman -- so the directing is superb, with great camera angles and shots. Very realistic film. I felt like I was watching an excerpt from this Hugh Glass's life, with nice sweeping orchestral music in the background.
Also a good look at the bad history between the white men and native Indians of the west back in the day in America.
But in terms of the plot -- this is one of those rare films whose plot isn't really the main aspect. Like I said earlier, it's more or less a cinematic version of presenting the legendary Hugh Glass's adventure and/or tale of revenge. Same feel like a documentary film or Animal Planet, just featuring a man.
