So how was it? I was hoping to go see it with my dad tomorrow night but his co-workers said it sucked.
It's amazing.
haven't seen it yet, saving for my birthday
Too long
Boring
Forced bad guy
Leo barely talks
No females
>>64605847
The cinematography is beautiful but fucked with my imersion for a bit. It's literally 500 shades of grey - but I suppose it really ties in with the mood of the movie.
Absolutely amazing. It took me like 2 days to finish it though. I'd watch for like 30 minutes, get bored, and do something else.
>>64605847
I'm seeing it tomorrow. Expecting to be fully immersed in the experience, and I'm going in the middle of the day to maximize chances of that.
There's a girl that works at the theater I'm seeing it at that's pretty cute. Perhaps I'll try talking to her.

That's some shit criticism, Anon. Are you a female?
>>64606047

C'mon man... do you even know that black clothes = bad? It's a fucking revenge movie.
Also, newfag to /tv/ how do I /spoiler/? I don't wanna be a faggot
>>64605984
Cheap, cliched ending also.
>>64606046
Laughed hard at that picture.
She's cool, though she only knows me by my first name, which I give to those who I haven't really connected with. My "professional" name, if you will.
>>64606136
Wait, you meant grey as in tone or primary colors in the movie? I'm sorry I instantly read it as 50 Shades of Grey and thought you meant the book or movie or something.
>>64606194
Ok now you're just baiting. But seriously, use the "popcorn bag lick-n-sniff" idea. Works like a charm.
>>64606187
<s>Test</s>
>>64606243
Yeah, as in... revenge is totes clouded in terms of ethics. A moral grey area. It was pretty clever in hindsight.
It's pretty good man. It felt kind of slow in some places, but for most of the film it kept me on edge.
Amazing cinematography, amazing acting, amazing action sequences, and a good plot.
8/10 overall. The guy who told your dad it sucked is a fucking plebeian faggot whose favorite movies are probably Fast and Furious.
>>64606374
Most likely.
>>64606187

Same old black and white hollywood morality muh noble savages muh ebul wite man I just don't give a fuck honestly. Would be cooler if it played like No Country where it follows Hardy after the hubbub and Leo is the scary bad dude slowly catching up to him

The Indians aren't made to look good, dumb fucker.
I thought it was great. Also I was listening to new radio in the car the other day, when it first came out. The newsreader was going on about the appalling bear maul scene and how graphic it was, they then played the audio of the bear maul scene, the whole thing. It was minutes long and this was ABC news radio. I was driving along to the sound of a bear roaring and the sounds of a man being ripped apart. It was ridiculous, THEN the guy comes back on and proceeds to carefully spoil the entire movie from start to finish under the guise of a "review". He didn't even review it he just gave away every single plot point and development. I had already seen it so I didn't care but holy fuck what were they thinking?
>>64606603

Only good flick in 2015 with Creed.
But /tv/ only cares about Jew Wars and Tarantino trash.

I'm so fucking sick of hearing about those fucking movies holy shit
This was a great trailer btw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRfj1VCg16Y
I didnt liked it, you need a strong suspension of disbelief, all that happens is implausible as fuck, takes you out of the movie.
>>64607021
Based on real events bucko
>>64606896
That made me nervous for some reason.
Then, I've been kinda nervous all night.
>>64607021
But it happened in real life...
Sure, not exactly everything you saw in the movie, but the main events happened.
>>64606080
The fuck
I think DiCaprio is my favourite male actor. He was fantastic in this.
>>64605847
Great fight scenes
>>64607452
The throat leaking water and the axe cutting the fingers at the end made me cringe like hell. Inarritu gives no fucks.
>>64605847
So much better than Birdman, that said go watch it, it's pretty entertaining but don't expect a timeless classic

Has anybody found bloopers and errors yet? I mean somebody must have fucked up early on in that intro scene.
The only one I noticed was when when the Kid confronted Fitzgerald. When it cuts back to the kid in one scene he is in snowy ground even though they he fell in not so snowy ground in the previous scene

Film of the year if you count it as 2015
People were going on and on about the bear attack scene but when I watched it I thought it looked pretty bad. That bear was painfully CGI.
This movie won't age well at all.
>>64608054
You know what really stood out as shitty CGI to me? That avalanche scene, the clouds building up at the bottom of the mountain were so shit.
It wasnt as good as I thought it would be.
>>64608118
It was a real avalanche
>>64606080

I loved it. I really like the cold snowy environment porn. Even if it was long I was always mesmerized by the landscape. Only thing missing was Sir Dave Attenborough narrating.
>>64605847
It's okay....thought it would be better but its just predictable af, a solid 7/10 at best.
It peaks at the bear fight about 20 minutes in, the movie is 2.5 hrs long.
>>64605847
its so impressive on big screen (and with proper sound), you should def. get to the cinema to see it.
>>64607928

It's technically impressive (camerawork, cinematography, action scenes) but overall it's super average and forgettable.

No I loved the movie.
Its just I recently saw the video where one of the extras of the moive was trying to mop the floor without a mop.

pure bullshit i untill i saw a bear eat the fuck outta leonardo decapro
Bear attack is scene of the year, someone needs to webm that bitch
Just got back from seeing it, I already know it will be the best film I see all year. Some very tense scenes, whoever played the captain did an incredible job, acting was great all around though. Also since I wont be seeing Blood Meridian on screen anytime soon this helped fill that void
>>64605847
bears cant really move that fast but other than that small detail it was pretty decent
It's a remake of something that didn't need remaking (pic related)
The entire thing is shot on a Go Pro camera, 2 feet off the ground, following Leo around, it's just tiring to watch, and boring visually
There's almost no music
There's almost no dialogue
Tom Hardy's overacting is terrible
It wasn't a "terrible movie", it was a lot better than hateful eight, but it was just okay
>>64610495

The film was a good watch but Leo won't win an Oscar off of it because he didn't do enough.
the girl that was sitting next to me was trying to crawl up in her seat because of the violence and gore!
The movie is so fucking repetitive it hurts.
We get it, he's good at surviving, stop showing us over and over and try some fucking character development.

yea this
bears are slow creatures! Look how big they are
>>64610895
>you have to read a book for a movie to be good
A film should stand on its own.
On it's own, this film is repetitive and bland. There is really no character development, just tiny flashbacks that provide not much more than "he loved his wife and kid". The other characters work but they're just so one dimensional that if the actors weren't solid (which they are, especially Gleeson) it would be an atrocity to watch.
It's just survival porn, which is fine if you're into that, but damn, it's fucking pretentious.
>>64610004
>Blood Meridian
NEVER EVER
Just enough for me to finish the book
>>64606851
Creed was legitimately a more fun movie that the new Star Wars. Didn't think that would be the case.
>>64611083
The film is really embellished and really has nothing to do with the real Hugh Glass other than the bear attack and making it back to camp.
>>64611099
What? haha
>>64610495
>Tom Hardy's overacting is terrible
No, it was believable. His role/character was spot on.. that doesn't necessarily mean it will make the movie great. It comes down to the screen play
>>64610824
>I need conventional character development spoon fed to me in every movie.
Stick to watching flicks you filthy pleb
>>64610945
>you need to talk to have character development
Found the pleb.
Here's a small list of films that have silent characters with huge amounts of development:
Vito Corleone (Godfather)
Wall•E
Sympathy For Mr Vengeance
Mad Max
All Is Lost
Vallhalla Rising
Le Samurai
>>64605984
wait so theres no waifu material in this? dropped
the camera never shook the whole movie
i couldn't believe it
>>64611182
If a film is missing something entirely, it's not being subtle, it's just lacking.
The characters do not progress, we do not see change, we just see what we expected to see when the events began. It's lazy.
>>64610004
I feel this movie could have worked as a Cormac McCarthy novel.
>>64611640
seriously doubt cormac mccarthy would have written a bear that could move that fast, he tends to keep things pretty grounded
>>64611640
Exactly what I was explaining to my friend after the movie and half my motivation for wanting to see it in the first place
It's okay, but Leo's storyline is boring. Tom Hardy's character is the most interesting, and the it would have better to focus on him and the kid and their moral dilemma, instead of Leo's man vs wild adventure.
>muh evil Frenchmen
>muh noble savages
>muh upstanding Americans
There was a good film in this, but the delivery was botched. Di Caprio's part is like a re-enactment of a wilderness survival story.
The cinematography was great in parts, but there was plenty that could have been cut, including some of the hackneyed monologues.
The music was overly dramatic, and those dream sequences felt like a redux of Gladiator.
>>64605984
>Leo barely talks
I had the stomach virus yesterday, didn't feel like talking much. If I wasmauled by a fucking bearI wouldn't be saying much either just a whooole lot of groaning like Leo did.
>Too long
>Boring
>Forced bad guy
Woops, i think you had a little brain fart there buddy, OP wasn't asking about H8
Reposting from other thread:
Just got out of this. Having an argument with a friend that saw it too, maybe /tv/ can settle it.
From the time Hardy and the kid left Leo, what length of time did the movie span? That is, in the story.
>>64607021
You really haven't delved deeply enough into what some human beings over the course of human civilization have endured if you found Leo's predicament and attachment to life to be "implausible".
>>64613099

Could've used more white bashing. If that's a drawback for you, maybe you have some insecurities to let go of
>>64613230
The Indians are fucking violent savages in this movie. As a non-American it didn't give me a good impression of them.
>>64613230
Everyone was savage in this movie.
>>64613285
They move faster than the whites on the frontier, they subsist better than the whiteson the frontier, they're better organized than the whites on the frontier, and they have a more consistent morality than the whites on the frontier. How are they savage?
>>64613285
Seriously, even theIndian girl that gets raped that leo saves just walks right by Leo and gives him a dirty look, yes I realize they spared his life but she seemed like she was pretty apathetic to him being injured.
>>64611697
*Looks up how fast grizzlys can run
"A bear can run 50 yards in 3 seconds"
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
>>64613326
Because they ambush peaceful white going about their business preparing pelts. And then they rip the skin off the heads of their victims.
>a more consistent morality than the whites on the frontier
In what way? They kill people they don't like and steal their shit. I'm not saying the whites are therefore morally superior, but they are at least reasonable in their activities.
And don't give me any 'in tune with nature and the land' bullshit. Europeans had this too before they developed civilization and pulled themselves out of the dirt.
Watch it for Hardy, not Leo
Leo is the ultimate tryhard petulant manchild. His performance of grunts and yells deserves no recognition
>>64613402
Confirmed for not paying attention to the movie. The Cree were on a rampage killing every group of whites because the French kidnapped the chiefs daughter
>>64606013
>Thinks a movie is amazing but only watches it for 30 minutes at a time.
Never give an opinion on film again plz.
>>64613451
>The Cree were on a rampage killing every group of whites because the French kidnapped the chiefs daughter
Yeah that is typical savage behaviour.
The Glass-Fitzgerald fight at the end was the most brutal fight ive seen since Eastern Promises
Should I see TFA before I see The Revenant?
>>64608603
The one you posted is clearly hardcover, it has a dust jacket.
>>64613478
Leos character did the same thing, shame on you for not seeing the parallel
>>64613402
80 million natives lived on the continent before Europeans arrived. The expanding frontier meant that countless Indian populations were just killed, period, and while this is not included very much in the text of the film, the Ree chief says as much, and they're established as stewards of the environment the film takes place in. Trade and cohabitation with Indians makes for good little stories but by far the main narrative in the 1700s and 1800s was massacre. Wiping them out was standard American doctrine.
In the text of the film, I call the actions of the Ree hunting band more consistent because Fitzgerald, Glass, the kid and the Captain are our tokens that represent the completely fractured morality that the audience is actually confronted with. The American audience that watches this movie will identify with all four of these characters to some degree.
perfect film.
>>64613556
Cree*. woops
>>64605847
i just got back i thought it was great. leo won't win best actor. most of the time he is just struggling to breathe .
best movie i have seen all year for sure.
>>64613534
Leo's character acted in self defence, he didn't go around randomly attacking people.
And the Cree attacked him and drove him off a cliff for no reason, right after he saved the tree nigger girl (although they might not have realised that)
The parallel is pretty obvious, but I don't think there really was a true moral equivalence in how they conducted themselves.
>>64613577
I didnt get why the whites called them the Ree, is the C really silent. Then again they also called them "tree niggers" so it might just be a racist thing
How Inarritu could muck up an amazing true story like this so spectacularly is embarassing especially given the technical masterclass on display
>>64613620
I thought I was hearing Ree too, I think they were swallowing their C's.
The Revenant was outstanding and maybe the most unflinching and brutal movie ive ever seen. The use of natural light gave everything a kind of realness that you dont see in many other movies, Emmanuel Lubezki is going to win an oscar for sure. Leonardo gave an excellent performance, the closest thing I can compare it to is Tom Hanks in Castaway, little dialogue, just man vs nature. Tom Hardy is also great and gives an oscar worthy supporting actor performance. Its a little on the long side and some of the “spiritual” elements are a bit over done but it doesnt take away from the movie enough not to give it a 10/10
>>64613390
we both know bears cant move as fast as they did in the movie so i dont know where your going with this comment
>>64613620
i am pretty sure the only person that used the term 'tree niggers' was tom hardy's character, and i think he said it once.
>>64613661
I don't think you've ever seen a real bear
>>64613661
I know this is bait but heres a video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBBmdays-c4
>>64613488
Not really, it was okay I guess. The scene wherehe floats Fitzgerald down the river to get scalpedseemed forced and disingenuous,the indians didn't even acknowledge Glass. It's like they recognized him but didn't say anything even amongst themselves.
The ending left you with a ".. is that it?" kind of feeling
>>64613858
Was it directly >implied thathe got scalpedthough? Can't remember...
The true patrician has spoken.
>>64613858
name more brutal movie fights?
>>64613883
I think they showed it..
>>64613858
what the fuck are you talking about.the indian girl he saved was the one those other indians were looking for the entire time. why do you think they didn't kill him also?
>>64613883
The scene where he explains how he survived a scalping is foreshadowing
I think I remember seeing this meteor shot in Birdman. Is this a recurring theme in Inarritu's movies?
>>64613922
You'd think someone would mention something about it within the group of indians that but that never happens. Afterchasing him throughout the entire movie with all it's transgression and redemption they finally catch up to him but somehow nobody says anything. It doesn't make any sense, the visuals didn't click with the reasoning.
You're left to make assumptions via imagery but it just didn't work
>>64613960
nah
>>64605847
survives not 1, but 2 bear maulings, one where he has his throat slashed. both within minutes of each other. the 1000lbs+ bear rolls down a hill and lands on top of him as well. he survives in ice cold water flowing down river for several hours (goes from day to night as he washes up on shore). he jumped off a fucking cliff with a horse and survives. he puts gunpowder on his throat that was slashed by a bear and lights it to close the wound.
these are just a few of the things that happen over the course of a day or two in the life of fucking mcgivemeafuckingoscaralready. based on a true story too. just outlandishly fucking full of bullshit lies. but its based on a true story if you want to give it an oscar. there arent many films i walked out on, but this one i did.
>>64610549
Guess silent movies aren't film so you're right
Almost as good as Fury Road. Not as entertaining as Star Wars, but a more artful film.
Not trolling, this is my honest opinion. My favorite film is The Thin Red Line.
>>64605847
The acting was pretty solid from most of the cast, Hardy and DiCaprio were both the stand outs. The cinematography was beautiful. The action was quite well done when it happened, there was just the right amount of violence and gore for my tastes. It didn't shy away from violence but it wasn't overly gratuitous either.
Something that really bugged me was the really shitty dubbing job that was done whenever the Indians spoke, it was way off and looked shit. Also the run time is obscenely long. A lot could have been cut out and could have still kept it's look and feel.
All in all, a decent movie 7/10

>>64607952
Please explain why you believe its a cliche ending?
Was the flare meant to be a reference to Birdman?
>>64610004
You think so? About the captain I mean. I felt like his acting wasn't too good. Maybe it's because of his other roles that didn't let me get convinced.
>>64605847
It was the first movie where watching it in theaters had a bigger impact than watching at home.
I saw the screener and really liked it but Holyshit watching it in theaters was amazing.
It's my moty just for the final fight since it and creed ruined ever other fight scene for me.

>>64611177
reminder that tom hardy did nothing wrong, 99 times out of a hundred Leo would have been a goner and caused the death of all of them
I like a good plot in my movies and this one had the basics for it, but it was just too long of a movie with barely anything happening.
>>64615778
Yeah he really just did what he had to do to survive. Had he stayed there the Indians would've found them all. Though he did kill the kid so he could get the money he was offered so yes he is a bad person.
>>64613615
so when he tracked his enemy into the wilderness and attempted to brutally murder him, he was acting in self defense? Are you handicapped or just stupid?

it was the accents I think

It's great, your dad's coworker is a faggot or minority.
>>64613858
how did the girl convey to the rest of the indians that Leo was the one who saved her or that he should be spared. She remains silent the whole scene
>>64614492
why did they dub them again?
>>64605847
>I was hoping to go see it with my dad
Don't you mean your mother's husband?
>>64616099
Maybe she told them beforehand about the encounter and her testimony was so detailed that they figured that the guy by the river must have been glass
>>64616263
I guess that's the only explanation but I think that's why the ending felt off to me, I was expecting the indians to kill them both
Hey can somone tell me if it has "jump-scares" or not?
>>64607606
But Birdman was amazing. Much better than that would make it Citizen Kane 2015. Is it Citizen Kane, anon?
I want to go out and shoot a bear thanks to the movie

durr something someone mentioned happened and dey zaid it
The movie poses more questions than it answers. Ultimately in an age where society serves as a shield from nature, "The Revenant" reminds us we are human. This awaking, however, extends passed the typical hollywood tropes of motality. Rather Inarritu lectures has delivered a piece that reminds us of our history as a people, and species.
On its surface, as a revenge story it is engaging and entertaining.
>go to see this earlier today with my friend
>he was fairly high (DUDE WEED LMAO)
>movie ends
>lets out a "dude what the fuck"

>indians had sniper accuracy in the opening scene
>couldn't hit leo from 3 meters away later in the movie
>>64616338
No jump-scares whatsoever. No, the bear attack doesn't count. The movie is violent, but not "scary" in any way.
>>64618036
They were skilled with bows, not rifles. Also, luck. Also, they only missed twice before shooting his horse, causing him to fall off a cliff. Also, he shot back, killing at least one of them.
>>64617748
Lol is this "review" a joke? You sound drunk
>>64617815
fucking kek
I enjoyed it mostly.
I thought it was a bit too long though and the actual "revenge" portion of the movie is a bit too small.
Leo gets out of the woods after this loooooong, 2-hour long trip, and then goes to kill Hardy and it takes like 10 minutes.
Like come on, it was marketed as this epic revenge tale but the actual revenge taking is so short and small that it just left me disappointed.
>>64605847
I'm not her if the movie would have been better if they just focused on Glass the entire time and formed Fitzgeralds character early on
>>64605847
I really liked it. It reminded me of Apocalypto, a really powerful survival and revenge story.
>>64605984
I didn't think the bad guy was forced, he was pretty rational in his own way. Maybe they made him too powerful in the end.
>>64619159
But it was a good fight in the end. Brutally realistic IMO.
To everyone saying it was long, It ended and I was just worn out with it all, but somehow I feel like thats the point. Glass finally got his man and it was exhausting not only for him but for the viewer as well
Changes to Glass's historical tale were pretty drastic. "We're all savages" rings hollow when whites are the overall villains. It's a crude version of the noble savage myth for people desensitized to brutality in media. And Glass is the typical patronizing white paternalist for Indians.
>Glass's halfbreed son killed by white man. Historically, no son/murder/strangling, etc.. And Glass was unconscious when abandoned.
>Indian violence artificially justified for rescuing princess kidnapped by whites. After the raid, chief literally says "Oh dear, the princess isn't here! What's this, pelts? -- we can use these to buy horses in our quest!" Historically, didn't happen. Indians raided selfishly, like anyone else.
>After Glass rescues princess, Arikara finally see his innocence/spare him. Historically, Arikara were his eternal nemeses, he survived many more raids before they finally killed him.
>Arikara are stoic, noble warriors. Whites are crude, greedy monsters. "Gimme a big titted injun girl!" juxtaposed to chief's speech about Indians' violated honor/the evils of white imperialism.
>Glass's mystical Pawnee paradise burned/massacred by white soldiers. Historically, he left the Pawnee without incident to rejoin frontier whites.
>Arikara village burned/massacred by white soldiers. Historically, the army refused to fight, and enraged trappers vented by torching a deserted village.
>Arikara princess raped by whites, her revenge facilitated by Glass. Historically, no princess, Glass didn't kill anybody except Arikara during journey.
>Glass's Pawnee friend killed by whites. Historically, nope, and he actually got far more Indian (non-Arikara) help than in the movie.
>Glass duels white killer before a final gory justice delivered by deus-ex-noble savages. Historically, Glass spared the thieves out of mercy/to avoid trouble, just walking away with his reclaimed Hawken rifle/tools.

What do you mean
>>64605847
My only problem was the "old wise indian" trope. otherwise, great film
Okay I feel like I missed something but the indians were looking for Powaqa, and leo stumbles upon her in that camp but I swear the people in that camp were the same people who traded with the indians for the horses and weapons earlier? does that mean they had her the whole time?
8.5/10
I was immersed, would have been nice to see a dank soundtrack though. There was like one really good song that's about it.
>>64620037
The French were liars.
That's why when the Indian mentioned finding his daughter the French captain instantly agreed to giving them horses, they were the ones who kidnapped the girl.
Now the question was who burned the Indian village Fitz and the kid stumbled into.
Great, a deserved 8/10 at least.
Leo was good as usual, really sold his performance whenhis son died.
Gleeson and Hardy were also very good.
A bit long though and a few weird scenes.
>>64620136
>instantly agreed to give them horses
>wtf are you talking about? He repeatedly refused to give them horses until he was threatened by the chief, just to name the most glaring of your inaccuracy. Your comprehension is just awful.
>>64620303
He gave them the horses after the chief mentioned his daughter

You have to be one of the most dumb people on this planet...
Just like Birdman, the more I reflect on it, the more obvious its flaws become.
Nobody has any character in the entire film, just goals. Get revenge, get money, look for my kid. Everyone seems more retarded for it.
The only interesting character was his kid who was looking for acceptance amongst the others but he got killed. Movie is full of zombies.

stay basic, pleb
If you wanna watch Innnaritu and Leo jerk themselves and each other off for what feels like 4 hours then yea, it's great.
>>64610495
Cinematography was insanely good, I don't know where you're getting this Go Pro idea from? Did you even watch the beginning Native attack scene?
The music is effective when it is used. Plus no music does not mean bad movie, watch No Country For Old Men.
There is a ton of dialogue when necessary. Did you want Leo to fucking Narrate to you his feelings while he's crawling around getting shit done?
Tom Hardy was fine.
>>64605847
Dying guy comes back to life thanks to Indian Voodoo and kills Tom Hardy who didn't really do anything wrong.
Fucking visceral.
The bear mauling scene was in tents but when Tom Hardy's hand gets clipped by the hatchet and loses two fingers, Jesus Christ 2real4me
It was good and technically impressive but rather banal/disappointing overall. Made a video review on it just now.

the movie went way over your head. pleb review.
>>64612894
Totally this. They manufactured this badass character so redditors could hype it, but at the end of the day Leo was so terrible even the comically evil Hardy made a better, more complex and interesting character.
And his acting is really campy and exaggerated. Yet he is the best part of the movie and the only character with a motivation other than pushing forward the plot. That says a lot about the movie.
