It is not difficult to understand that the story told by The Revenant is only a microcosm of the history of the American development of the West, and the theme explained in the film is also of practical significance at present; in the long history of human civilization development, the infinite demand for nature has never stopped. , the uncontrollable greed has seriously damaged the entire ecology and brought disaster to itself. If the progress of civilization is based on plundering and destroying traditions, then what is the difference between this and barbarism? The film is very realistic and very fortunate. The thinking about "survival" and "revenge" needs to be discussed at the height of the entire human civilization. When human beings can give back to nature is the arrival of human civilization.

This role is really suitable for Xiao Li. It fully utilizes his strengths as a physical acting school, while minimizing the requirements of inner drama. The few emotional dramas are perfectly combined with the editing of the cold snow scene, which fully achieves the externalization of the character's emotions in the external environment. Xiao Li, the little golden figure, must be dedicated to Gonzalez, and of course there are editing and soundtracks, which greatly increases the overallity of the work and performs full marks.

The minimalist story of revenge, combined with Inaritu’s super god’s scheduling, Lubeski’s stunning photography, and Xiao Li’s performance of his old life, brings the most shocking audio-visual experience of the year

John Fitzgerald: You all right there kid? Your head in the right place?
Bridger: I guess... I can't help thinking about whether we did the right...
John Fitzgerald: No! Ain't our place to wonder. The good Lord got us on a road whether we choose it or not.
John Fitzgerald: My pop, he weren't a religious man, you know? If you couldn't grow it, kill it, or eat it, he just plain old didn't believe in it, that was it. And this one time he head on up the old Saba hills... San Saba hills? He joined a couple Texas Ranger buddies of his to hunt you know? pretty routine, he done it like a hundred times before, should have been a three-day kill but, on the second day, it all went fucked. Somehow that night he lost his buddies, and to top it off, them Comanches went and took the horses so, he was starving and delirious... and he crawls up into this mott, this... this group of trees out in the middle of nowhere just sticking up in this ocean of scrub and he found religion. At that moment he told me... he found God. And it turns out that God... He's a squirrel. Yea. A big, old meaty one. "I found God" he used to say. "And while sitting there and basking in the glory and sublimity of mercy... I shot and ate that son of a bitch".
John Fitzgerald: Yeah. You might want to close your eyes kid.
