In English, Film is a term closer to art than Movie, not to mention that Sakamoto Ryuichi and others are accompanied by acoustic music with the same poetic beauty. It is said that because the music is too avant-garde, experimental, too much sound sampling, and lack of melody, Oscar did not qualify it as the best soundtrack, but it is still one of the best original soundtracks in 2015. When the film reached its climax, Leonardo played the real historical figures Hugh Glass and Tom Hardy played the greedy and cruel Fitzgerald chasing, duel, and the lonely atmosphere of the whole story turned into the most intense percussion. , We feel the tension effect created by Akira Kurosawa with Japanese Noh. We are impressed by the professionalism of the actors who endure the harsh environment and show passionately. We also know that the big bear that severely wounded Glass was played by the actors and synthesized with motion capture technology, just as this movie reminds us of our first love with movies. The aesthetics of art, this scene also reminds us of the serious purpose of special effects. At the beginning of the movie, the fur merchants were robbed, killed, and forced to escape on the ship by the Indians. The long camera lens slowly swayed from the ship to the sky. The Lis were looking for the leader of the daughter... We immediately felt the cruelty and loss of both sides in the visual language. Beyond the perspective of each character's cognition, the perspective of God. The historical legend of Glass's return from desperation was enriched by Michael Punk's original novels, and was given more connotation by the director Alessandro Gonzalez Inarrido. If you have ever felt love and hatred, you know how explosive these two kinds of emotions that even animals have can touch. So Glass supported the dead wife and children and the living enemies, like half-human and half-animal Indians. After that, he knew how to hand over the power of the enemy to God at the last moment, but he didn't know his role in the whole chase. We wondered how the only profitable French would agree to deal with five horses after hearing a plea from the leader of the Li tribe, until we saw the girl whom they regarded as sex slaves and was accidentally rescued by Glass, and she accompanied her on horseback. The boss who had just killed Fitzgerald walked past Grasse's princess-like expression-too much for that low-position looking camera. Why did the captain who entrusted Glass to Fitzgerald to take care of him so resentful that he betrayed his promise? In order to protect the spirit of the contract, or for the private enmity between them? And that cowardly but conscience child (Will Poulter finally played a less annoying child), the mark he drew on the kettle became a compass to rescue Glass... everything seems to be in response to the bible The phrase "everything works for the benefit of those who love God". It is this God’s perspective that makes the film more profound than "The Last Mohican" and "Dancing with Wolves". Is the final freeze-frame expression of Grasse asking for the direction of life in the satisfaction and emptiness after revenge? Woolen cloth?
