So What?Nowhere in this film (that I recall) do we ever hear the use of the word вЂњrevenant,вЂќ which generally comes from European folklore about a corpse that returns form the grave to wreck havoc on the surrounding community. (ThereвЂ™s a lot more on how this arduous journey finally comes to an end but itвЂ™s all just further extensions-including Hugh surviving a snow storm, after a band of Indians chase him off a cliff, by cutting open his dead horse, removing the entrails, then sleeping overnight in the somewhat-warm-carcass-of GlassвЂ™ desperate desire for survival and revenge, dragging us with him for 2 ВЅ hours. As he regains his health, Glass forgives Bridger but sets out to find Fitzgerald, more furious with him for killing Hawk (which he was conscious enough to witness but was too damaged to talk when Bridger returned to the scene) than even for his own abandonment in the woods they battle in hand-to-hand-combat until FitzgeraldвЂ™s wounded, then the Chief and his party (including Powaqa) happen by so Glass pushes his enemy into the river where he washes down the short distance to the Indians who finish him off. On the way, though, he manages to rescue an Indian woman held as a sex prisoner by those same Frenchmen we eventually learn that sheвЂ™s Powaqa (Melaw NakehkвЂ™o) the lost daughter of the Arikara Chief (Anthony Starlight), whoвЂ™s been looking for her all through the film in a parallel story to that of Glass (who has frequent flashbacks to when soldiers raided the camp where he lived with his Pawnee wife and son, killing and burning all but him and the boy). However, one of them, irascible John Fitzgerald (Tom Hardy), is impatient for that to happen so he digs the grave, attempts to kills Glass, is interrupted by Hawk whom he stabs to death then hides the body in the woods, tells gullible kid Jim Bridger (Will Poulter) that Glass is dead and Hawk has disappeared, tosses Glass into the grave with barely enough dirt to cover him, then heads off to the fort with Bridger, where they claim a natural death and decent burial for Glass then collect their pay.Д®ventually, Glass revives, drags himself through the wilderness until he regains enough strength to walk, uses some lit gunpowder to cauterize the open wounds on his neck, survives a tumble into an icy river and over a waterfall, eats a raw fish and the liver of a dead bison (shared with a Pawnee man he can converse with after a hunting party has left the beast behind this man also tends to GlassвЂ™ wounds, although the IndianвЂ™s later killed by French trappers), then eventually makes his way back to the fort. Henry agrees to pay 2 volunteers extra if they stay behind with their severely-wounded companion and his son, then give Glass a proper burial when he dies. Glass is being carried on a stretcher but the terrainвЂ™s getting too difficult to take him any further so Capt.

However, along the way Glass decides to shoot a couple of bear cubs, a huge mistake as their furious mother suddenly appears, mauling Glass within an inch of his life (no, despite silly reports to the contrary, the bear didnвЂ™t rape him-especially because it was a female bear, whom I donвЂ™t think was that interested in oral sex). Their chief scout, Hugh Glass (Leonardo Di Caprio) -along with his half-Pawnee son, Hawk (Forrest Goodluck) -insists that they get away from the river (the Missouri, I think, but it matters not) by heading inland back to Fort Kiowa. What Happens:Back in the snow-covered-winter of 1823, in the northwest region of the vast Louisiana Purchase, a group of fur trappers led by Captain Andrew Henry (Domhnall Gleeson) is attacked by a tribe of Arikara Indians, with several of the hunters killed or wounded (the flowing camerawork is magnificent from the beginning, slowly tracking through great vistas of open countryside then in this first attack, the action becomes frantic but not the editing where wide shots are held throughout the action, forcing us to understand what itвЂ™s like to hopefully dodge arrows that seemingly come from nowhere).
