His love interest was Haya Harareet. I believe she was an Israeli actress. Never saw her in any other movie.

The Stuntmen (and Stuntwomen) are the real stars of Hollywood. I LOVE old-time special effects, make-up, and stunts.

It makes the movies so much more interesting and exciting.

Just my humble opinion, of course.

Ah, thank you for that clip, one of the greatest action scenes of all time.

Indeed, it makes watching the DVD documentaries almost as good as watching the movie itself.

Yes! I LOVE it when a DVD comes with extra features explaining how the movie was made.

Since Eric Metaxas recommends this movie, I’ll go.
Author of the acclaimed biographies of Bonhoeffer—which I’ve read— and Wilberforce.
Not too many films in theaters worth even the matinee price these days.

"...Yes, a remake..."

Nowadays all remakes suck. Hollywood values pollute everything.

Didn’t you know the Old Testament is just chock full of rock people?

What a repulsive farce Hollywood is.

Downey and Burkett will try to be true to the story. There is a lot more to the book that just the spectacle of the big-budget movie.

Watched it tonight...enjoyed it.

A unique and thought provoking perspective.

It’s a decent movie for a historical fiction. Wife & I enjoyed it.

You mean the movie or that you deny the very resurrection of Christ, as an atheist or as holding some other belief?

[daniel1212]

Some say the same of Bin Laden.

But there is a vast and deep difference btwn a cave and the ocean. Yet they should have showed the body, just as the Roman's would have of Christ if they could have.

Project much?
When did I suggest that I denied the resurrection clown?

And why do you insist on copying all of your “friends” on such a knee-jerk accusation?

I like being pinged to things that interest me.

Don't you?

I have neither the time nor the inclination to check out EVERYTHING on FR for myself.

The director you never heard of before won the Oscar for best director last year.

See there; DIVERSITY!!!

I'll go out on a limb here and state that Chris Rock's mileage may vary.

[Elsie]

A wonderful HOOSIER fella!

[Elsie]

Yup!

I am wondering how the camera work was performed in the Revenant when DiCaprio climbed from the riverbed, up the nearly 100 foot embankment to the plateau above, with the camera tracking all the way, between shrub and tree and rock.

I saw on the Today® Show how the bear chewing him up was done.
