At first, I only noticed the Chinese translation of the film - The Revenant, thinking it was a story similar to "Robinson Crusoe" about survival in the wild. After reading it, I found that it is not only about survival in the wild, but also contains another theme - revenge.
The English name can better express the content of the whole film. The Revenat means the returning undead. The protagonist is the Revenat. It can also be seen from this that he is indestructible and will obtain revenge by violent means.
The story takes place in the United States in the 19th century. The protagonist, Glass, was one of many pioneers who made profits by harvesting fur. At the beginning of the film, a tragic slaughter was seen. The protagonist's team was attacked by the local indigenous people and ran away. After escaping on the boat, it can be found that he has a son of native blood, who is not accepted by the white people, and this is also the introduction of his revenge later. On the way to escape, the protagonist was attacked by a bear and was seriously injured and unable to move, which led him to witness his son being killed by one of his companions and abandoned by his companions, and then began the theme of the film: hard to find the way back to the gathering place in the wilderness Survive and take revenge.
Although so many words are used to describe the content of the whole film, the struggles and contradictions of the companions in the film in the face of Glass's injured behavior can resonate with people and the cruelty, cunning and jealousy of the murderer of his son The heart is creepy. The deepest impression is that the captain of the team has beautiful blond hair, and he is also a kind-hearted person. However, when his scalp was cut off near the end, although he was passed by the camera, he could still see that the blond hair turned bloody. The photography of the film is great.
