When I came back from watching "The Revenant", I felt that every pore was filled with irrepressible excitement. Following the rhythm of the movie's plot development, my mood was like a roller coaster. I don't know if many people feel the same way as me. .

This movie came here because of its fame. I have long heard of the hard work and difficulty of Xiao Lizi making this movie, and because of this movie, he won the golden man of his dreams. Although the theme of primitive violence is not my favorite, But I also want to see the name of Xiao Lizi. When I bought the ticket, I found out that it was 2D and not IMAX. I felt a little regretful, but after watching it, I was glad that it was not 3D and the effect of giant screen, otherwise it would be too much of a test for me. little heart.

To put it simply, this drama tells the story of the revenge of a Count of Monte Cristo. The plot is very simple. Xiao Li, who has become a burden due to being attacked by a bear, a companion wants to kill him and get away early to get money, but instead kills his close relative. , the story of Xiao Lizi in the abandoned wilderness who embarked on a hard road of revenge for revenge, and finally got his revenge. Although the plot is so simple, the difficulty of the road to revenge can be described as overwhelming.

There are many scenes in the movie that I can't look directly at. What I remember deeply is the tragic attack of Xiao Lizi at close range by a bear. He pretended to be dead and was attacked several times. The huge bear scratched at his head, and the sharp claws tore his body apart. It was really cruel, but in the end, Xiao Lizi, who had an explosive battle index, still endured great pain to stab the bear. killed.

In this movie, what I see most is the instinct for survival and wisdom. When hunger is unbearable, I will not let go of anything that can be used as food, crawling to find the medulla of animal bones, catching raw fish and biting immediately, even if I vomit. Eat a piece of bloody raw meat; choose the most primitive method for healing when the wound is festering; when the wind and snow hits and cannot keep out the cold, hide in the horse's belly naked to avoid being frozen to death in the ice and snow. The amazing survival instinct, if you were abandoned in the wilderness, you would have died thousands of times, and you really admire the movie's imagination of survival in the wilderness.

This time, Xiao Lizi completely put aside his face and hoarse his voice. Just the appearance of his eyes and movements makes people feel that Oscar is a good actor. The sad and haggard tears flowed from the son's corpse, and I dreamed many times that my lover showed nostalgic eyes, which was very moving.

The film was mainly shot in Canada. In an uninhabited and uninhabited area, the snow-capped waterfalls and microscopic scenes depicted by the camera are extremely spectacular and magnificent, and there is no trace of artificial carving. Modern human civilization is here. The vast and inaccessible land has lost its effectiveness, and what remains is only the most primitive ugliness and instinct of human beings: people die for wealth and kill for their lives. When the god of death comes, there is no need for nonsense, just pay back what you owe.

Love and hatred are the reasons that can support a person to live strong. In this film, the power of hatred is mainly told. When a person is deprived of his only loved one by others, the rest is the flame of revenge scorching his heart day and night, and the strength and courage born are also amazing. For revenge, what kind of pain is unbearable, when there is this As a part of obsession, the hand of God seems to exist in his own grasp, and nothing can stop the pace of revenge.

In fact, what I can't bear to explore is the ending after the great hatred is avenged. The person you love is gone, and the person you hate is resolved, so how should you live next? An open ending, don't go too deep into it. Aside from movies, I hope that in the current life, we can protect the people we love, and at the same time do not do things that steal people's love.
