Been Called "Flash" Since I Was A Kid!
Revenant is a person who has returned from a long difficult journey especially one who has returned from the dead. That's what this movie is about.
Set in 1823 in the frozen northland, this story is loosely based on a true story. I read the original story and can say that the movie is very different from the real deal.
Dicaprio is part of a band of men who head out into the wilderness to trap animals to skin and he is a guide with close ties to savage Indian tribes. It's his job to get the men back home to spend the fortune in furs that they have collected. It doesn't work out that way.
Their first encounter with the Indians (OK....Native Americans) cost 37 members of the group. The attack is bloody, ruthless and that's just the start of this flick!
The trailers for this movie divulge that Dicaprio is attacked by a Grizzly Bear so that's no secret. The horror of that attack is beyond description, but his life goes downhill from there. That bear used the guy like a chew toy and tore him to pieces. Momma Grizley took a break and came back for more. As terrible as the Grizzly attack was, every time you think that this man can't have fate crap on his head any worse, we ramp the violence and degradation up a couple of notches!
This review can't prepare you for how Dicaprio got screwed over. Even if I described each turn of events in detail, you would still be shocked and horrified! There is no way to imagine how his life turned to shxt but he just kept fighting and clawing his way to survival. This guy was a tough SOB! His character redefines the words "grit, determination, perseverance, toughness, violence and resourcefulness.
I've heard it said that when a Gila Monster lizard clamps its jaws on something, it will stay attached even after death. That's the way Dicaprio was clinging to life!
I was amazed at this movie and where it took me as a viewer. I gave the flick an A+ and Dacaprio took himself as an actor upward by light years! I've never been a big fan of Dicaprio but he showed what he is capable of as an actor.
I recommend this flick 100% but with a strong caution. This is a gritty, violent flick. It's not in the same league as the current crop of shoot-em-ups. This violence, is close up, hand to hand, bloody, vicious and brutal.
If you have problems in your life, this movie will give you a whole new perspective! How in Hell could he have survived this episode of his life?
