Brokeback Smokey ? Naah.
Simple answer to all the questions: Hollywood.
I read the book. There are a few points, like the temperatures and injuries you mention, that do strain credulity. Perhaps trying to cram it into 2 hours broke some otherwise believable points or introduced unnecessary confusion. I’m looking forward to the movie, though now with gritted teeth given your review.
In the future, please note that your movie reviews belong in chat.
Thanks
awesome movie. beyond must see IMHO.
leonardo and hardy are oscar bait for sure
You’re better than Siskel & Ebert ever were. lol.
'hyperthermia' with ice-cold water?
Disliked it. Cinematography superb. Can’t complain about the acting. It’s simply a shallow storyline. Pales in comparison to movies like Jeremia Johnson, Outlaw Josey Wales and True Grit .. either version.
I hear DiCaprio is thinking academy award for this. Doubtful.
What the hell I stopped reading.Your telling the whole story.Sit in the lovers aisle and change the title to spoilers.
Yuck. Do you foist this upon readers of FR often? Lamenting the seating arrangements in movie theaters...who cares. If you are trying to be poetic and literary like, it did not work. You must have nothing to do. I stopped reading somewhere between boredom and complete coma effect.
Rehash of “man in the wilderness” ... Richard Harris starred in long ago. Yes better visually etc... Same plot on Zachary Bass getting mauled, left behind etc

Both good flicks.
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!
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.
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.
“Man in the Wilderess” 1971. This is a remake sort of.
No
But I saw Sicario tonight
Awesome
But gritty
I too, thought that was a wasted shot. Usually with the French all it takes is a loud noise or at most a 'boo'.
