begins a journey of more than 300 km in a hostile environment, on the runway of
the man which betrayed him. His thirst for revenge is going to be transformed
into an heroic fight to defy all the obstacles, to return at his home and find
the redemption.
My
opinion : Finally
an Oscar for Sir DiCaprio in The Revenant ! And he truly deserves
it ! From a cinematographic point of view, this movie is a little jewel : first
of all, the story takes place in stunning and spectacular landscapes made in
Canada, which cut the spectator 's breath. Watching this movie is like watching
a paint, Emmanuel Lubezki, the image director did not use artifical lights but
only the natural light which make us feeling the nature as we were inside !
Innaritu, the director, wanted to recreate the life's conditions of the
trappers in the old and deep america of the 1970's and he created a kind of
natural hell, which perfectly shows how the fight of Glass is difficult...
These conditions make the acting of DiCaprio again more spectacular, and behind
the screen, the spectator feels how hard it could have been to shoot this
movie. The movie starts with the attack of Glass by a bear, which is one of the
more spectacular scene I have seen and everybody should watch The
Revenant at least for this scene ! From this moment and until the end of
the movie, we feel the will of Glass, his suffering, his hatred and we want to
fight with him ! To resume, on a cinematographic plan, the movie is quiet
perfectly directed, and the acting of DiCaprio is upsetting.
However,
the bias taken by Innaritu to act in a so hostile environment creates some long
and slow scenes, which slows down the story and the spectator sometimes waits
for more action. Last but not least, I expected a better and more spectular
end, but that is only my opinion, it is your turn to give your by commenting
