I haven't been to a movie theater in almost a year, but I'm planning on seeing this when it opens.

Been a while since I wanted to be at a theatre on opening night, but that's my plan.

Yes, but because it was filmed in CA the bear had to wear a condom.  It ruined the ambiance.

Is this a remake of Jerimiah Johnson?

About 6 weeks ago I finished reading "Mountain Man".. . looks like some of the material from that book is in this???  There are several stories/myths/legends about the early trappers in that book. . . Interesting read---not AT ALL like "Jeremiah Johnson"!

Looks like it's going to differ from the true ending of the story. Which is great because the true story was anticlimactic as far as revenge goes.

Just caught a bit of the commercial on TV earlier tonight. This may be the first movie to get me in a theater is many years.

Decaprio, politics aside, has made some great movies. I wish he would stick to that and refrain from telling other how they should live.

The Obama Western


The Revenant, the new Leonardo DiCaprio western, bids to be also the last western. That once-quintessential Hollywood genre has lost its popularity to sci-fi and comic-book flicks that trendily dramatize social tensions — along with offering escape into perpetual adolescence. The Revenant reworks the older westerns’ exploration of American history, and of the issues arising from the clash between civilization and perceived wilderness, into a spectacle replete with contemporary social distress. That makes it an Obama western. DiCaprio’s Hugh Glass, a guide and hunter for a fur-trading expedition in the 1820s, humbly embodies the country’s humane, multicultural hopes, yet he’s stuck amid venal, weak-principled countrymen. Burdened with the racist legacy of European settlers, Glass is haunted by the killing of his Pawnee wife and guards his biracial son. Glass’s ambivalence and fortitude are tested by his trouble with John Fitzgerald (Tom Hardy), a low-life among the government-sanctioned trappers. The unhinged, Bible-quoting carnivore Fitzgerald is a lying, killing incarnation of America’s evils.

Where's the movie about Simon Kenton, Blue Jacket, Samuel Brady, Lew Wetzel and Tecumpseh?

I'd camp for that one.  Possibly the last years where a man could be truly free in the east.  It was dangerous as hell, but free and safe aren't necessarily bed mates.

My dad took us to see "Man In The Wilderness" in the theater when it came out.  It was a double feature with "Bite The Bullet" shown after.  

Seems like a century ago.  The next time we all went to the movies was when I took mom and dad to see "Full Metal Jacket"

Not sure what that means but we're all at my coworker's house watching it on his media player.
This is the kind of movie you want to watch on the big screen so I'll be watching it come Christmas, for sure.

The opening scene is pretty brutal (maybe 15 minutes?). Quite a battle with the Indians -- gory and graphic.

He is a good actor though.

He can pull off a lot of different characters well.

Politics aside.

They should have just told the actual story, without embellishing it with the Bear Rape, and child murder.

If you're ever around Chillicothe Ohio during the summer there is a great outdoor drama called Tecumseh. Not quite a movie but very enjoyable. Based on Eckart's novel, The Frontiersman.

Remember, this is a fictional remake based on the 2002 book. Not even close.

Really good movie. A little slow but very gory/bloody/realistic.  

Tom Hardy & DiCaprio are fantastic. Both will get an Academy Award for their roles.

Also, Makes you never want to go into the woods without a gun.
