THE REVENANT

Spoilers!!!!!This past weekend I watched this astounding movie for the second time. The Revenant is a story following fur-trader Hugh Glass (Leonardo Dicaprio) and some fellow fur-traders. The film surrounds Dicaprio and other fur-traders who are on the road to selling their furs after a six month travel. Glass was the father of a bi-racial white/indian boy named Hawk, who was criticized for his looks and ethnicity. As the story progresses, Glass is mauled by a bear with little hopes of survival, when the group finds him they patch him up and try to carry him with them while traveling. A few of the traders see this as a lost cause because he would most likely die after a day or two. So, the captain of the group asks three men to stay behind with Glass until he finally passes for a pay of $100 each. Hawk stays and says that whoever else does can have his pay, another young man named Bridger says he will stay as well, giving up his pay to the final person who stays, which happens to be Fitzgerald, who was one of the men who viewed carrying him as a lost cause. After a day, Fitzgerald wants to leave, but Glass is still alive, so he muzzles Glass in hopes of killing him. Hawk catches him and tries to get help from Bridger, but Fitzgerald ends up killing him while Glass watches. Fitzgerald then manipulates Bridger into leaving Glass after telling him Indians were hot on their trail. This is the beginning of a story of revenge. Glass revives himself and goes on a very gruesome journey to get the revenge he deserves for the killing of his son. This story gives me chills just with the story, but the cinematography is absolutely stunning. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
