This movie wasn’t bad but the story line was all over the place. Whole sections of the movie aren’t tied together. Characters of importance aren’t clearly tied to parts of the story or in key scenes/sections.
It’s almost like there were 3 movies made and they combined random sections to make this one. JMHO
Saw it tonight with the wife. She loved it and the theater was packed!
It is just a movie, not a documentary, chill. It’s based on a legend of what happened to the real guy.
A couple things like the double fired flintlock, the hypothermia inducing water, bugged me. But over all a really great movie.
A revenant is someone who has returned after being presumed dead.
You just enriched that marxist hypocrite dicrapio!
Why would anyone want to enrich DeCraprio?
A Man Called Horse was great, too.
Commentary about seating is something real. I think people are sitting in the back now for obvious reasons. Regarding the post, it’s for people who have seen the movie. So, chill.
Yeah he had enough trauma and chilling to kill twelve men, and did get multiple shots from his black powder weapons a few times, but that’s Hollywood.
I saw a plaque to the guy who inspired this story while traveling in the Dakotas, - a real mountain man (same name) who was mauled by a grizzly and left for dead, stripped of his weapons, shoes and stuff. Although there was exaggeration with the added hostile Indian incidents and Glass getting revenge (and there was no son involved), many of the incidents did occur. He was mauled in August (including a broken leg), and made it 200 miles in six weeks, with some help from Indians he met.
I agree. That’s what I’m asking, if anyone else felt this way. All the critics are raving about this, and I think they blew it.
Well, thanks. I was not inclined to see this moving anyway (DeCaprio, eew), and you have completely convinced me not to see it at all.
The only other movie I saw DeCaprio in was Titanic, and that was a truly ghastly movie, as full of plot holes as a sieve.
Read: What the hell I stopped reading.You're telling the whole story.Sit in the lovers aisle and change the title to spoilers.
Never mind the hugs.......
I think just adding the effect of being helped by the Indians, maybe Potaqwa herself would have changed things, instead it leaves you cold, and if that’s a big part of the book, then SHAME ON THEM! There is a touching scene where he meets up with the Pawnee and he saves his life, and in fact, it was pretty chilling, eg when they start eating the mist in the air before it snows.
I think all the scenes were probably there, but the editing is terrible.
Thank you.
Actually, I’m sorry, because as a piece of cinematography it’s great, but 120 minutes of it is bit much. It’s not a chick flick, and I think it could have been.
Very violent and again, you leave feeling empty the people of those times. I’m sure there was killing and this and that, but Glass has an Indian boy, in the movie at least, so you’d think we’d see more compassion for the Indians and they for him.
“Man in the Wilderess” 1971. This is a remake sort of.
Really? Was that necessary? smh
You, too. You used to be a nice person around here, with a nice word for just about everyone!
oh yeah ..... agree.
No
But I saw Sicario tonight
Awesome
But gritty
Yeah. I was just teasing too. Yeah, that's the ticket. :-)
