The Revenant starring Leonardo DiCaprio was one of the best movies of 2016. Taking over two years to produce it’s no wonder this movie was such a success. Starting out with no backstory we hear a woman talking and with a very ominous tone we get the feeling that something is awry. The next scene that follows starts with a scene in the forest and we get a taste of the unique visual effects that were produced through the movie. Hunting with his boy they had no idea of what was about to happen. Glass’s group of fur traders were attacked out of nowhere by a group of Indians.

These three topics are very important when filming a movie. The Revenant had all three of these and they all correlated to make one great story. The story is all about his survival and the character development throughout the film makes connect and yearn for Hugh Glass. You find out throughout the story that he had already lost so much and to when he constantly goes through trials and tribulations it makes you hope that eventually something good will happen. Throughout the film you see that it’s all about survival, but the deeper meaning in the film is that you can’t fight the pain, hate, and adversity that comes toward you, but instead you have to bring it in you and become one with it in order to keep going.

Glass learns that his vengeance isn’t his to give but instead is given by nature itself. Through this alone Glass is reborn into a new man, there had been many times where he had been “resurrected” but this time was different. He woke up feeling new and his goal revised which allowed him to push even further. The most satisfying part of the whole film was definitely the ending. In the final moments Glass and Fitzgerald finally confront one another, and a long hand to hand fight ensues. Two men from different shadows come across one another but Glass fueled by a new fire had to chance to kill Fitzgerald but instead remembered one key quote the Pawnee Indian told him “revenge is in God’s hands… not mine” Having been tested and beaten this was his chance to fulfill his revenge but instead he let nature choose to see if Fitzgerald was worthy to live by sending him afloat across the river and letting the Indians choose if he was worthy to live. In the end Fitzgerald was killed and Glass’s journey was over. Not knowing what to do he crawled and got on his knees it was
