What an Amazing film

...but I was also looking at all the awards this film won, which is also a surprise.

Leo and Tom Hardy did a great job.

I noticed they used the F word a lot in this film, and I never realized that it could have been a popular expeletive during this time period.

...so it was educational too. 😁

For anyone who might have noticed, was that the Arikara warriors following Leo throughout the film? The initial invaders at the beginning of the film?

The F-word has been used at least since Elizabethan times, centuries before the setting of The Revenant.

And yes, it's the same war party the whole movie.

Exceptional movie. A masterpiece. The cinematography is the best I ever seen. The acting is not far behind

Beautiful. And engaging. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen until the end titles rolled over.

Or, for those of us still in touch with the Planet Earth:

The Revenant was an unimaginative and derivative rehash of Gladiator, Cast Away and other films, with CGI this time substituting a grizzly bear for dinosaurs, featuring an overpaid Leo DiCaprio for acting nothing more than cold without having to memorize hardly any lines of dialogue, and exposing its audience to endless shots of the sky from the forest floor or snowscapes lifted from Doctor Zhivago, marketed to the naive as an achievement in cinematography.

Ok. We get it. You didn't like it. Now please go away.

Tremendous and majestic location shots for this movie, it looks a lot like the wilderness in British Columbia and Alberta although I think it' suppose to take place in Dakota? It looks like the Northern Rocky Mountains to me.

Tom Hardy stole the show in my opinion. Very good cast all around but if I was going to give an actor from The Revenant an award I'd give it to Tom Hardy, he earned it.
