A bloody survival in the wilderness

There are three main aspects that make me feel the deepest in the film: love, justice and tenacity. The narrative of the film mainly tells the story of Hugh Glass's revenge for his son, which is full of cruel and cruel plots, but the whole film runs through Hugh Glass's love for his wife and son. Without this love, Hugh Glass would not be able to survive in the cruel natural environment despite his body being devastated many times. His later hatred of John Fitzgerald also originated from his deep love for his son. The main line of revenge in the whole film is also derived from the human heart's pursuit of justice. The perpetrators must be punished is the basic embodiment of the concept of justice. In order to pursue justice, people can do anything at all costs. When John Fitzgerald made a solemn promise to the hunting team to take care of Hugh Glass, he abandoned the seriously injured Hugh Glass and wanted him to die of severe cold and pain; he brutally killed Glass’s son, And half-threatening and half-deception took away the companion who was going to take care of Hugh Glass. John Fitzgerald only had benefits and power in his eyes. He could do whatever he could for his own benefit, and the light of human nature had almost disappeared. In order for Fitzgerald to receive the punishment he deserved and to pay the price for his evil deeds, not only did Glass embark on an arduous road of revenge before the wound healed, but the captain of the hunting team also rushed to hunt down Fitzgerald. , And paid the price of life for this. If you simply consider his own interests, the best choice for Grasse may be to heal his injuries in the camp, and then not step into the dangerous place that almost kills him; the captain's choice may be to calm down the situation and continue to make his own money. I believe that this hypothesis in the context of this movie is likely to happen under our society's handling habits. History and the surrounding stories tell us that many people in the country are at the forefront of interests, and for this, justice is hardly an important bargaining chip for us to weigh a thing or decide an action. Under such circumstances, in the end, people like John Fitzgerald will not be punished for their evil actions, and they may call the wind and rain, and become popular. I always feel that the establishment of a good social order in the United Kingdom and the United States is closely related to its intolerance of evil deeds to justice. It is often heard that special forces sacrificed several outstanding fighters at any cost in order to rescue an ordinary hostage. If there are calculations, it is that justice is the most important thing; it is not that the interests are the priority. In order to get the wicked to be punished, Glass and his captain risked their lives and the last death and injury, and finally let justice be reflected.

    Friends, don’t be superstitious about the director. I didn’t suffer enough at Interstellar, so I fell here again. Who can take such a deep subject matter into a National Geographic documentary? If you want to watch the wild adventure, I might as well go to see Lord Bei. It was smelly and long for two and a half hours, almost falling asleep many times in the middle, but fortunately there were a lot of embarrassing moments that woke people up with laughter. Not recommended to watch.

The Revenant quotes

  • John Fitzgerald: You all right there kid? Your head in the right place?

    Bridger: I guess... I can't help thinking about whether we did the right...

    John Fitzgerald: No! Ain't our place to wonder. The good Lord got us on a road whether we choose it or not.

    John Fitzgerald: My pop, he weren't a religious man, you know? If you couldn't grow it, kill it, or eat it, he just plain old didn't believe in it, that was it. And this one time he head on up the old Saba hills... San Saba hills? He joined a couple Texas Ranger buddies of his to hunt you know? pretty routine, he done it like a hundred times before, should have been a three-day kill but, on the second day, it all went fucked. Somehow that night he lost his buddies, and to top it off, them Comanches went and took the horses so, he was starving and delirious... and he crawls up into this mott, this... this group of trees out in the middle of nowhere just sticking up in this ocean of scrub and he found religion. At that moment he told me... he found God. And it turns out that God... He's a squirrel. Yea. A big, old meaty one. "I found God" he used to say. "And while sitting there and basking in the glory and sublimity of mercy... I shot and ate that son of a bitch".

    John Fitzgerald: Yeah. You might want to close your eyes kid.
