The original intention of watching this film was not because it won several Oscars, nor because of Xiao Lizi's starring in it. In fact, I was a little interested in this film when it was released in North America, mainly because of this theme, and " The words "based on true events" appealed to me. After looking for resources on the Internet, I couldn’t find it, so I thought I would wait a few months before I found it online. Unexpectedly, the time has passed, and suddenly one day, the circle of friends was swiped by "Little Plum", and friends were discussing and forwarding the news about Xiao Lizi winning the Oscar Best Actor. When I opened it, it turned out to be "The Revenant". It made me want to watch this movie even more.
That is, driven by this desire, I was following the news of this film every day, and suddenly one day I heard that it was going to be released in the Mainland. I was overjoyed and waited, and finally waited until the 18th, so I stopped working. , without a word, rushed into the cinema...
As far as I know, the director of this play only won the Best Director Oscar for the film "Birdman" last year, and this year he is competing for the Oscar again, and this time it is even more rewarding. Three awards, really awesome! Although it was an afternoon session, there were still many people in the cinema, almost all of them came for Oscar and Xiao Lizi. The narrative content of the film is very simple. It is nothing more than the test of human nature caused by the vulnerable insignificance and fragility of human beings in the face of nature. It is this test that reveals the selfish and evil side of human nature. After all, survival is the instinct of animals. The same group of people, someone threatens your life safety, or pulls the hind legs of this group of people, according to the survival law of survival, that person is undoubtedly the first to be abandoned and killed, but the protagonist of the film is the unlucky one Ghost, not to mention his wife, he brought his son and a group of people to the deep mountains and forests to hunt and was robbed. He was chased and killed. He finally escaped, and was left paralyzed by a bear. When watching the film, the place that makes people feel like they are on pins and needles is that when Xiao Li was bitten by a brown bear and crawled all over the floor in search of food and shelter, he was faced with being abandoned and betrayed by his accomplices, his relatives were killed, and he was half dead and unable to play. In addition, the cruel and harsh environment of nature has devastated this flesh-and-blood body, and the heart is undoubtedly extremely broken and desperate. But it was this humiliation, the persistent arrogance that dared to challenge the fate in his bones, and the determination to take revenge, that made him climb out of the grave step by step (for this, I have to complain about the director, still lying in bed in the morning. Can people who are in turmoil in the pit crawl on the ground with perseverance and determination for revenge in the afternoon? Not to mention that they still bleed a lot, have been bitten by bears in so many places, and have a high fever after two days without food? Is this the legendary opening? This is the biggest flaw in the film) Hunger and cold force a man to drag his body to crawl in the snow-capped mountains with dozens of degrees below zero, looking for food and firewood! Carrion, maggots, raw fish, internal organs, all kinds of things that can satisfy hunger pass into the mouth, just like a savage reptile, and you have to be careful when you are preying on yourself as prey.
Behind these lifelike ways of survival is a deep reflection: the earth that human beings think they dominate, but in front of the ruthless nature, if they live in isolation, they are still very small. If human beings want to survive on this earth, they must With the help of others, a group of wolves can easily kill a savage cow, but a wolf can't do it. Only by unity can we have strength, and killing each other is against the sacred intention of life, and naturally there will be no good results. Look It seems to be a victory, but there is an invisible and intangible causal relationship. Everything is connected. Hunters are killed by other races while hunting animals. This is the law of balance, why can you hunt animals at will? If you get paid for your fur, others can't slaughter you and rob you of the fur you get? The film uses the fight between the brown bear and the little plum as a metaphor for a revelation, that is, humans think that with a shotgun and high IQ, they can kill low-level animals at will, but if they don’t guard against low-level animals, they will also counterattack and humiliate you. when. Similarly, the fact that Xiao Lizi was abandoned by his companions half-dead also implies a revelation: Do you think that you are superior to others with healthy limbs? Can you just throw away a disabled person? Then he hurts the most important person to him and he can't take you? You are wrong. In the end, people didn't rely on perseverance and wisdom to climb up to you and kill you.
After reading it without a sigh: life is equal, everything is harmonious! Please respect life, be kind to animals, and care for the disabled. Three and a half!
