What a fantastic movie!! Alejandro is so tremendously talented, it is beyond comprehension. He is a visionary, he sees things in such mesmerizing ways, it defies belief! All of his work is truly phenomenal, and "The Revenant" is another testament of his amazing ability to capture history in a motion picture. Well done, sir Inarritu :) :) And also well done, Leonardo DiCaprio. Beautifully portrayed.

This is not a movie, this is an experience of life.

[@pammistar6192]

The Reverent was Dicaprio's best performances. This movie was so touching and beautifully put together, from the cast to the cinematography an absolute must see.

[@willem1212]

What an amazingly talented director. I love his answer to the bear question. That was the best answer possible.

[@RandomForestGump]

+Willem Sanders he has one issue though.. he will find a lot of criticism, a LOT, because of following his viceral vision. Sometimes the audience will found themselves on disagreement with certain scenes or dialogs but that's the price you have to pay for following your vision, you cause a bifurcation in the audience.

[@willem1212]

true

[@israelmoreno5758]

Iñarritu is a genius. I've seen all his short films and ever since Amores Perros (loves a bitch), I've been a big fan of his films.

[@arnoldrivas4590]

+Israel Moreno Which film of his was short? HIs short for 9/11 or what?

[@israelmoreno5758]

+Arnold Rivas he has several short films, he made a short film for BMW, it had Clive Owen it was called The Hire

[@arnoldrivas4590]

Israel Moreno oh yeah I heard of it. Didn't watch it though. I did watch his first three films and of course Biutiful and Birdman.

[@israelmoreno5758]

+Arnold Rivas yeah, watch loves a bitch, it was a really big film in Latin America, it was kind of like Babel

[@arnoldrivas4590]

Israel Moreno Amores Perros was good, loved 21 Grams and fell in love with BABEL. Biutiful with Javier Bardem was excellent. My first Inarritu film I saw in theaters. Didn't see Birdman in theaters unfortunately, I was recovering from a surgery. But saw it on DVD and it blew my mind.

[@sndrs]

[@RandomForestGump]

+Saunders Cowie No but the score, was AMAZING! is one of the three keey elements they put together, the cinematography, the landscapes and the music

[@sndrs]

+Ed Ward great to hear, they are the three things really selling me on this movie

[@djokoholic]

is there any spoilers after the minute 18?

[@RandomForestGump]

+djokoholic no... nothing

[@djokoholic]

+Ed Ward tahnk you!

[@f-grade]

Uh, if they wanted to downplay the revenge aspect, then why did they add a halfbreed son to avenge? Glass's revenge was a matter of his survival; he needed something to drive him. Even in the book on which this film is supposedly based, the main symbol of that goal is Glass's long rifle. Fitzgerald and Bridger (to a lesser extent) not only left him for dead, but they took the one thing any frontiersman would need to survive in that period: his rifle. Even in the Richard Harris film 'Man in the Wilderness', the Glass-inspired protagonist (as "Bass") transcends the lust for revenge by the time he's able to quench it. It was only ever a means to an end. The end being life -- something revenge would have undermined after surviving such a harrowing journey. Just as the murder of his son undermines the personal doom dealt upon Glass. It turns his survival from an act of perseverance and defiance into one of one-dimensional rage. I'm still looking forward to this film (have been since John Hillcoat and Christian Bale were attached), but that change is such a fundamental fuck up.
