The Revenant Returning of the spirt was roughly mastered by Leonard DiCaprio throughout the film. The Revenant comes from the French, which makes sense on why they French were a part of the movie. Alejandro’s did an amazing job directing this movie because it was by far the best movie we watched in class. The film had many themes to it which conducted a great movie. Love is very strong and Glass shows how much he loved his wife and his son. There is nothing more sad then losing people who you love dearly. Revenge took control over glass because that is what is keeping him alive. The Revenant is how effectively it transports us to another time and place, while always maintaining its worth as a piece of visual art. “Revenge is in god’s hands not mine”.

I would, go and watch this movie again because it was that good. Any movie with Leonardo DiCaprio is a great movie because he is an amazing performer. When the movie started off it was action, which got me hooked to finish watching the rest of the movie. It was not until after I watched the movie that I found out that this movie was based on a true story. The quality of the film was magnificent, there were some points that I felt that I was in the movie because how real it felt. Some part were gory and disturbing, but the color and lighting was good. I would rate this movie a ten out of ten because that is how much I loved this movie. I would recommend this movie to anyone who is looking for a movie to

His portrayal of a violent man, who delights in violent deeds is incredibly sincere. Not that anyone one else is the cast was slacking, but Gage stands out in memory where others, such as Shannon Eubanks does not.…

    Many of the singing and dancing scenes were shot seamlessly using a single take. I assume that the camera is on a track similar to a train during the “Good Morning” song because the actors move from room to room but the camera shot remains the same and follows them throughout the set.

I think the cinematography used in this movie was very progressive for the time period and deserves a four out of five stars. This gives the movie an overall average of 4.17…

    Edgar Allen Poe is an American writer that is world renown for his dark writing style, which allows the reader to be engulfed into his tales of horror and mystery. The Cask of Amontillado is a classic Poe style story that is littered with unexpected twists and turns around every corner. The reader is able to watch from afar as the main character seeks revenge against his “friend” Fortunato. Poe’s ability to create a character like Montresor amazes me because of the unique way in which he reveals the main characters poor mental health without directly stating that he is insane. The gradual realization of this is what makes the story so unique to Poe’s style.…
