Unrealistic ability to survive


It is extremely easy to die of exposure in a Canadian winter, never mind half dead with no head covering crawling on frozen ground and immersed in a river.

Ok so the setting isn't Canada it is still obviously well bellow freezing his life expectancy would be nil.

So, then we wouldn't have a movie to watch.

I was thinking this was a fictional movie, in which, the writing said he did survive?
Was this a documentary?
Is fiction cancelled yet? :D

It's actually pretty close to a true story. Look up "Hugh Glass".

I looked it up and saw only giant buttocks and then realized I was dyslexic.

Thanks, Bart Simpson.

yeah, I was just trying to make a point about "Fiction". :)

It is a fictional rendering of a real story --- Hollywood does it all the time --- There was a real person who survived a bear attack back in that time period, was left for dead and lived crawled/hobbled back to civilization

I can't help but think in some of these, 'the star' likes the idea of the entire rest of the group he's with having to dote over him
