Amazing film! My favorite one so far. I love the amazing story structure. The casting was done perfectly. The director Alejandro G. Iñárritu, definitely deserved an Oscar as well as Leonardo Decaprio, hands down. The most interesting thing in this film was that they never used lights. The D.O.P and the Director decided to use all natural lightening throughout the film which was incredible as it was perfectly lit. One amazing thing too, the horse scene was totally believable. Outstanding really! Not to mention the amazing bear scene which totally blow me away. I watched over and over again trying to analyze how it was done and i could never know so i had to browser the behind the scenes footage. One of the most amazing films and definitely deserved an Oscar. As an aspiring film maker myself, this is the kind of movies i'd like to do. Not a lot of dialogue lines and a great story throughout. Also, not to mention Tom Hardy's amazing performance.
