Are you sure "The Revenant" is not a torture film specially created for Leonardo DiCaprio?

"The Revenant" is adapted from Michael Penk's novel. The story tells the story of a fur hunter who was injured by a bear in the 1820s and had his belongings stolen by other hunters and abandoned in the wilderness. The hunter miraculously survived and began to take revenge. . From the literal translation of the English title of the film "the revenant", we can understand that it is a person who comes back from the dead. However, after watching the entire film, you will find that the pain endured by the protagonist for survival is also a story of physical rebirth led by the soul. Director Alejandro chose an anti-Hollywood minimalist narrative method this time: minimalist lines, minimalist character relationships, and minimalist story connections. And this minimalist temperament also made Xiao Li and Hardy's performances completely integrated into the cruel wilderness - extremely bloody, cold north, harsh nature, but its cruelty is far less than human desire. In the midst of the chaos, there is always a spark of hope that never goes out. Divinity or spirituality gives people the power to achieve extraordinary things, and also makes people feel awe, let go of their obsessions, and turn around. Relieved. What is presented is a full-scale high-energy epic story that integrates man and nature, people and people, and even race and race. What amazes me the most is the cinematography of the film. Perhaps Lubezki’s stunning and stunning photography achieved the realization of this minimalist narrative impulse. The top-notch scene lighting and a large number of panoramic ultra-wide-angle rotating lenses make people immersed in the scene. The cold wilderness of the northern United States is dazzling and breathtaking, and the splendor of nature itself is breathtaking. The director himself admitted that the biggest protagonist in this film is actually nature. This is of course inseparable from the contribution of the photographer who won the Oscar for Best Cinematography for the second time with "Gravity" and "Birdman". Of course, director Alejandro's incredible control and ambition don't stop there. Compared to the one-shot shot of the previous "Birdman", this film is even better. This time "The Revenant" was shot entirely with natural light, and all scenes were shot in icebergs and wild forests at minus 30 degrees Celsius in the wild. It also continued to use a large number of one-shot long shots for large scenes. It can be said that this time "The Revenant" challenged Compared with the last time, the technical difficulty of shooting the entire film in one shot is beyond a considerable level.
