About the story behind the film

After watching the film before, I was full of praise for the beauty and bet with my husband that it is definitely the scenery of Wyoming. I went to Google to verify it, but I was wrong. Well, I should correct it, the absolute Rocky Mountain scenery.

Everyone knows that the film is an adaptation of a real story. The story takes place in South Dakota, the United States. The real Huge Glass does not have a native son. But he was really torn apart by a grizzly bear who was eager to protect his cubs, and he was indeed abandoned by the remaining companions and taken away all the necessary tools for survival in the wilderness such as guns and knives. When I was hungry, I really ate a yak that was left over by the wolves. On the road to revenge, he joined other teams and survived several devastating attacks by other tribes. The male protagonist's halo is also appropriate. Seeing this, you might be thinking that the motivation for revenge is really great, and how he can help him when he sees his enemy. As a result, after nine months of traveling 1,500 miles, he saw the enemy without his anger at the time, and then nothing happened. The ending is quite intriguing.

Next, let’s talk about the filming.

The film was mainly set in the Rocky Mountains of Canada, and it is definitely not a work under a green screen. The whole film uses natural light without any additional light source. The crew also has special meteorological experts who analyze the weather conditions every day, suggesting the location of the scene, and even the changes in cloud thickness, because this will affect the light. The real Glass was gone for nine months, and the film was delayed for nine months (delayed for five months). During this period, the original location (Alberta) had to be moved to BC because of the warm winter. Later, I went to Montana, even to the southernmost corner of Argentina. It is said that the crew funding has also doubled. Every day the crew goes deep into the cold winter wilderness of minus 20 or 30 degrees. In winter, the day is short, and half a day is still spent on the journey. When you get to the ground, you have to watch the sky and eat, and wait for the natural conditions such as clouds and light to mature. The actual shooting time per day is only 90 minutes. It can be said that the shooting process is also extremely difficult.

Finally, I have to say that the scenery photography of the film is really beautiful! In the beginning, Little Plum went out hunting, the elk was dripping in the mist in the woods, and the water was faintly revealed, I really couldn't help but wow!
