The Revenant | Official Teaser Trailer
- Thread starter Drikus
- Start date
This seems to me to be a remake of
'Man in the Wilderness' from the early 70's starring Richard Harris.
'Man in the Wilderness' from the early 70's starring Richard Harris.
I thought it was 'The Hateful Eight' here for a second or two, with Channing Tatum instead of Tom Hardy.
Call me confused in Indian country land, that's for sure. ...I might watch 'Bone Tomahawk' in just a bit...same guy who is in 'The Hateful Eight'. ...That Kurt Russell guy.
Leonardo refused to be in 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens'.

While I am in the minority.. IMO The Force is a so-so to bad movie. Leonardo was wise to refuse it, he has been very careful about what movie he plays in... Following in that way the path of Daniel Day Lewis...
The Revenant, beautifully filmed using natural lighting, very realistic, Leo is excellent as usual, however ... Tom Hardy character drives the movie, he's magnificent, although I do warn that he's hard to understand initially, his diction drawled. It took me a few scenes (and I wasn't the only one) to adapt and comprehend his dialog. Highly recommended.

What I am hearing is that it is boiling down to Eddye Redmayne in The Danish Girl vs Leo in The Revenant. I haven't seen The Revenant yet but IMO it is going to take one heck of a performance by Leo to beat Eddye Redmayne
I don't know myself as I did not see those films yet. And of the ones I saw it is a very tough job to determine who's the best actor/actress and not.
I think I would need to know them in real life first. ...But that's me and the way I see it.

I haven't seen the inside of a theatre in some time, but The Revenant demands I see it on the big screen!
I am not normally a Tarantino fan but did watch Django Unchained and Inglorious Bastards. Didn't make it very far with Kill Bill or Reservoir Dogs. Don't plan on seeing Hateful Eight but I may.
Personal preference - just don't like gratuitous, gory violence in films and that is his trademark. Many people love his work and he's a film genius according to most. I am the outlier on Tarantino.

It's not always easy to be part of the human species across all human history...
We've seen violence, we've also seen non-violence, and it's a thin line between the two.
I did not see 'The Revenant' and I've only seen and read a bunch of trailers and clips and articles about 'The Hateful Eight'.
We are all weak, and we can easily swing from one side to the other. We can be firm in our own convictions to the point of annihilating ourselves in our own cocoon, or we can be easily transported by the mass movements and lost our own identity. It's not easy to be a righteous people of the planet Earth. If I was a writer I would write a book about The Righteous Nine. ...Then direct the film. ...The story would be about the global directive force of all elements and living species including the present but invisible. ...A mathematical and logical apotheosis of the invisible but with a very strong and real omnipresence. ...Anyway it's only an idea...
But yeah, human history is a constant battle for power. The human species is weak, we are weak. We are not using our brain properly and efficiently.
So it's all normal...films that we like and don't like. We are not sure of what's right and not, or rather we are not using our brain to make sure that all is right.
The various characters (tribes, societies, civilizations, villages, armies, ...) of Earth's entire history are not on the same page when it comes to sharing.
The human conquest was inside the first man of this planet, like inside the first ape, first amphibian, first molecule. ...And it became a multiple dispersion and divisions.
Violence, killing, ...is the most primitive of all men's sports. ...There is simply no redeeming value. ...And yet people love it in films, and in reality too.
It's a thin line between violence and non-violence. And we live on that thin line every single day everywhere or quasi, all across our five continents.
People from the world's remotest jungles and undiscovered yet by men, are not members of WBF and don't watch violent films.
No Revenant and no Hateful Eight for them...and might as well. Us, we're just too advanced for our own brain. ...Very very weak brain.
That's my opinion. .,..Films are like the news and sports on TV, and games on our iPads...they are entertaining and abstracting and diverting and ...

* Roy Dupuis is a French Canadian actor (Quebec). I've seen him in few French films. His take on 'The Revenant' is "sensitive".
<> I've seen 'The Revenant' @ the theater last weekend. ...Some nice cinematographic shots...the mountains. ...Natural light too...and in British Columbia...some...so I'm very familiar with those vistas and forests and rivers and rapids and chutes...all that natural wildlife jazz...even close encounters with bears...black, brown, cinnamon, and grizzly. ...From twenty to sixty feet roughly. ...Many bears...cougars...moose...elks...you name it.
P.S. It's funny people's impressions of films; here by Roy Dupuis on 'The Revenant' regarding the French people...barbaric and rapist.
It's a film, not a documentary.
Yeah, the French people are all angels, and that's the way they should look like...in real life as in films. Gimme a break, the French are no better than the Irish and Scottish. The Irish and Scottish are true angels. ...And that makes the Indians the kings of the kingdom of heaven.
The Americans? They like basketball and the piano players.
Who's good? Everyone.
Who's bad? No one.
Who's good and bad? Everyone and no one.
By the way, I appreciated the film...well done. I still prefer Mad Max. :b ...More fun, less depressive story.
It's still a very good film, recommended, very. ? Rating score (everything): 85.5
