The Revenant

This is one of the movies for which I was waiting for more to see. Not only because the director always leaves us waiting for more after his films (Birdman was his last film) but also to see the performance of DiCaprio in the film by wich he is again nominated for an Oscar.

The Revenant is set in the decade of 1820 All starts with a group of trappers in the north-American territory taken leathers when they are attacked by a group of Sioux Indians who stole their leathers and massacre the invaders. Nevertheless, some of them can escape in a little boat  on the river. Hugh Glass (DiCaprio) is one of the survivors and he is the only man who knows the route to the fortress. He is traveling with his son. While they are returning Hugh Glass is attacked by a bear who let him gravely injured. The captain of the expedition is forced to abandon him in the forest because he has become in a huge load that doesn't let the group advance quickly. But Hugh Glass will have the company of his son Hawk and tow more members of the group, Jim and John Fitzgerald (Tom Hardy) since the rest could arrive in the fortress and send more help. But the wether is very hard and they know that the Sioux are near. Fitzgerald tries to murder Hugh Glass but Hawk can prevent it and him receives a stab by Fitzgerald that kills him. Hugh Glass, even injured and unable to move, see all. Then Fitzgerald deceives his mate and they leave Glass alone in the forest. It is there when starts a story of revenge. Hugh Glass will only survive to kill the person who unfairly killed the only thing he has, his son. Hugh Glass will go to the search of Fitzgerald overcoming all kind of adversities: his wounds, the forces of nature, the cold, the lack of food and other humans. And he will be alone at all time.

This is an amazing film. The film is about three hours but they are three fantastic hours of hundred of emotions and feelings. One of the thing that I appreciate more in any film are the dialogues. In the Revenant, there are few of them. Even the duration of the film there aren't time to dialogues, we are too busy escaping and leading all he disadvantages that Hugh Glass has to overcome. And between change and change we don't have time to anything than contemplated the amazing landscapes that the film offers to us. The film has spectacular shots of photography of the wild nature. And after all of that, the film is more: it is the story of a man who fights alone against everything for revenge of wich who had taken his son.

Summarizing, you have to see this film! Everybody who appreciates cinema should do it because really worth it. And now that we know that DiCaprio finally has won the Oscar it's another good reason to see The Revenant.
