The Revenant	comment	The Revenant is a 2015 Revisionist Western drama film directed and co-written by Alejandro GonzÃ¡lez IÃ±Ã¡rritu and based in part on the 2002 Historical Fiction novel of the same name by Michael Punke, itself inspired by the true story of Hugh Glass.In the early 1820s, a fur-trapping expedition is attacked by Arikara(Ree) Native Americans when they are only days away from returning to their base of operations with a fortune in furs. Escaping with only a fraction of their original numbers, their frontiersman and guide Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio) decides that their best chance of survival will be to abandon their boat and travel overland to reach safety.On the way, Glass is brutally attacked by a bear while on a hunting foray, and he is left behind with his son Hawk (Forrest Goodluck) and two members of the party to expire and be properly buried without slowing down the rest of the escape. John Fitzgerald (Tom Hardy), deciding that it is too dangerous to wait even for Glass to die, kills his son and convinces Jim Bridger (Will Poulter) that the Arikara are coming for them directly. He drags the still-living Glass into a grave — for the "burial" — and then leaves him for dead. Glass is able to survive through sheer force of will and makes his arduous way back to their fort on a quest for justice, revenge, and redemption.The film has become notable for its incredibly ambitious filming schedule, shooting on location in remote parts of the Canadian and South American wilderness, and using only natural lighting for its cinematography. Ryuichi Sakamoto and Alva Noto composed the soundtrack, with additional contributions by Bryce Dessner.The story of Hugh Glass had previously been put on screen, albeit with the names changed, in the 1971 film Man in the Wilderness.The movie was given a limited release on Christmas 2015, then went wide in January 2016. The trailer can be seen here.

The Revenant / int_19851b86	type	The Sociopath
The Revenant / int_19851b86	comment	The Sociopath: Fitzgerald is a classic example. During the Arikara's attack on the hunting party, his main priority is preserving the pelts rather than aiding the other trappers. He later requests staying with Hawk and Bridger to watch over Glass only after being promised a reward and then tries to convince Glass to let him do a Mercy Kill, only interrupted by Hawk whom Fitzgerald promptly kills and then lies to Bridger in order to evade suspicion. Later, when he returns to the fort, he spins a yarn about how he and Bridger were forced to leave Glass behind due to a Native American attack and that Hawk stayed with his father, which is enough to convince Captain Henry and offer him the reward. To add onto the bit about mercy killing Glass, it wasn't so much convincing him, as forcing him into it. He tells Glass that if Glass blinks, he will put him out of his misery. And we get an extended shot of Glass trying his hardest not to blink while Fitzgerald keeps telling him to blink so he can put him down. He really wasn't leaving the guy any option.

And then there is the scene in the raided Native American village, where he secretly leaves a food ration for the lone surviving woman, without even saying a word.

When they catch up with Glass, if they had just bothered interrogating him instead of attacking first, he could've told them he'd rescued the daughter, she was safe and nearby, and that he was just trying to get home.

One could even argue that he functions as a Evil Counterpart to Glass, as he doesn't care who gets hurt or killed, while Glass doesn't attack or hurt innocent parties despite his single-minded obsession with revenge and even goes out of his way to exonerate Bridger from all accusations.

Since the subtitles just refer to Glass's family and Hikuc as "Pawnee," this is probably confusing to a lot of viewers who can't understand the spoken Caddoan dialogue, which clearly refers to Glass's family as Skidi, while Hikuc refers to himself as Kitkehahka; Northern and Southern branches of the Pawnee tribe spoke different dialects of the same language.

In the movie, Glass hunts him down and gets revenge on him. In real life, Fitzgerald ran off and joined the military before Glass could get to him, and as it would be a criminal offense to kill a soldier of the military, Glass had to let him go. We probably got a more satisfying conclusion than what happened in real life.

The Revenant / int_3e8d9cd3	type	Historical Hero Upgrade
The Revenant / int_3e8d9cd3	comment	Historical Hero Upgrade: Glass is given a half-Pawnee son as his Morality Pet (whose murder serves as a Moral Event Horizon for Fitzgerald), and a Pawnee wife as his Lost Lenore. That son, and rumors that Glass killed a U.S. Army officer to avenge that wife, make his trapper companions suspicious - while endearing him to modern audiences, as Natives being victims of American expansion is a common theme in the movie. Though the real Glass lived among different Native American tribes, he had no known Native wife nor children, and suspicions about his pre-trapper days would have owed more to him serving under the pirate Jean Lafitte for two years. Captain Henry lets the Arikara be after surviving their attack. In reality, he led a punitive raid supported by the U.S. Army and the Sioux. Given a nod when the captain (under the influence of alcohol) informs Fitzgerald he plans to await U.S. Army reinforcements before proceeding to "shoot some civilization into those fucking Arikara" for the sake of the pelts they were forced to abandon. The Arikara are motivated by white men kidnapping the chief's daughter and making her into a Sex Slave. In real life, the Arikara had been deeply hostile to whites for decades before and continued to be after thatnote It all started when the tribe was ravaged by smallpox after being visited by the Lewis and Clark expedition, with whom they made friendly contact - this seemingly—and frankly, understably— left the Arikara as inclined to do friendly business with white people again as the North Sentinelese. Notably, the Arikara would kill Glass ten years later, while in the film they kill Fitzgerald and let Glass go.

The Revenant / int_504a1991	comment	In the original version of Glass' tale, Fitzgerald's main source of villainy is abandoning Glass to save his own ass, and ultimately Glass has to spare his life because by the time Glass finally tracks him down, he had enlisted in the U.S. Army, and killing a U.S. soldier would have made Glass into an enemy of the United States. Here, Fitzgerald actively attempts to kill Glass, ends up killing Glass' son and later Captain Henry. Also, Fitzgerald didn't simply abandon Glass. His job was to stay with Glass until he died. Glass's injuries were so bad that no one expected him to live and they didn't want him to die alone or miss out on a proper burial. When Glass lived way longer than expected, Fitzgerald left him near a water source still fully expecting him to die given that he was effectively in a coma. Glass only lived because Fitzgerald left him enough supplies to wrap his wounds and set his leg while he let maggots eat his narcotizing flesh to prevent gangrene.

After all that is what led the Captain to offer a huge reward to those who stayed back with Glass, instead of endangering themselves. Though Fitzgerald's actions immediately following (trying to murder Glass, murdering his son when he tries to intervene, and ultimately leaving him for dead), proves that this is motivated more by his own cowardice and greed than the well-being of his associates.

The Revenant / int_808cbaeb	comment	Historically, French-Canadian fur traders and trappers - whether licensed voyageurs or unlicensed coureurs des bois - got along far better with North American natives than their American or European counterparts, typically learning multiple native languages, adopting native customs and dress and even becoming full members of various tribes. A large part of this was because France's (and later British-contolled Quebec's) interest in North America was primarily trade, so good relations were paramount. The arrogant, murderous, raping, monolingual French trappers in the film could just be a (very) atypical group acting on their own, but it's still quite a stretch they'd stray so far from the standard French modus operandi that had been so profitable for centuries.

Pawaqa ended up cutting his testicles, just as she promised, for raping her. Fitzgerald's demise from both wounds inflicted by Glass and Arikara scalping him. Beckett and Weston, the two volunteers who set the barge back on the river as a bait for the Arikara. Instead of jumping off the board and joining the rest of the expedition, they've decided to stay and take their chances by the river.

The narration, dream sequences and photography bring a lot of comparisons to Terrence Malick. Makes sense, considering the the film's DP Emmanuel Lubezki has worked with Malick many times before. Tom Hardy has noted in several interviews that his performance of Fitzgerald is heavily inspired by Tom Berenger's character in Platoon.

The Revenant / int_e16217f8	type	Historical Villain Upgrade
The Revenant / int_e16217f8	comment	Historical Villain Upgrade: In the original version of Glass' tale, Fitzgerald's main source of villainy is abandoning Glass to save his own ass, and ultimately Glass has to spare his life because by the time Glass finally tracks him down, he had enlisted in the U.S. Army, and killing a U.S. soldier would have made Glass into an enemy of the United States. Here, Fitzgerald actively attempts to kill Glass, ends up killing Glass' son and later Captain Henry. Also, Fitzgerald didn't simply abandon Glass. His job was to stay with Glass until he died. Glass's injuries were so bad that no one expected him to live and they didn't want him to die alone or miss out on a proper burial. When Glass lived way longer than expected, Fitzgerald left him near a water source still fully expecting him to die given that he was effectively in a coma. Glass only lived because Fitzgerald left him enough supplies to wrap his wounds and set his leg while he let maggots eat his narcotizing flesh to prevent gangrene. Historically, French-Canadian fur traders and trappers - whether licensed voyageurs or unlicensed coureurs des bois - got along far better with North American natives than their American or European counterparts, typically learning multiple native languages, adopting native customs and dress and even becoming full members of various tribes. A large part of this was because France's (and later British-contolled Quebec's) interest in North America was primarily trade, so good relations were paramount. The arrogant, murderous, raping, monolingual French trappers in the film could just be a (very) atypical group acting on their own, but it's still quite a stretch they'd stray so far from the standard French modus operandi that had been so profitable for centuries.

The Revenant / int_e2ccee25	comment	Animal Motifs: After the attack and the death of his son, Glass begins to take on some of the same characteristics of the very bear he fought. He wears its hide and uses its claws as a necklace, sets out to avenge his son, and animalistically devours any kind of meat he can find (such as bone marrow, bison liver and fish). He also goes to kill Fitzgerald the same way he did the bear: a shot near the left shoulder, then stabs him repeatedly, only to have him die (albeit at someone else's hand) after a prolonged struggle.

The Revenant / int_e3b0cd87	type	Morality Pet
The Revenant / int_e3b0cd87	comment	Glass is given a half-Pawnee son as his Morality Pet (whose murder serves as a Moral Event Horizon for Fitzgerald), and a Pawnee wife as his Lost Lenore. That son, and rumors that Glass killed a U.S. Army officer to avenge that wife, make his trapper companions suspicious - while endearing him to modern audiences, as Natives being victims of American expansion is a common theme in the movie. Though the real Glass lived among different Native American tribes, he had no known Native wife nor children, and suspicions about his pre-trapper days would have owed more to him serving under the pirate Jean Lafitte for two years.
