Thanks for this resource, it is really cool (sorry couldn’t think of a better adjective, it is early on the west coast). I like that it is simple and relatively easy to understand. I guess this is the appeal in the children aspect that it is something they can grasp and engage with.

Some parts of this movie didn’t make any sense at all. Especially at the end. Who was that woman? Where did she come from? I felt really bad for DiCaprio’s horse. The horse became a shelter for DiCaprio! Was she his wife? If it was, it was never told in the movie.

He didn’t have a son. There was no documention of it if he did. The group paid two explorers to stay behind and give him a proper burial. As he had sustained the wounds from a bear attack. Glass eventually caught up with the group and forgave them. He didn’t see anyone kill a son he may not have had. Lololol people see based on or inspired by true events and take it to heart thinking it’s real.

When Glass approaches the church, it is in a state of advanced decay, nature is balancing out what man had created. There in that balance between the western religious physical structure and imagery (you see Hades or whoever eating that guy), he meets his son. His son, who was half native and half western European, stands in the middle of the church. The decaying church itself is half nature (representing the native world view) and half western religion. In that moment, who is to say why his son appeared? Was it a hallucination? Was it his spirit? To me it showed the ridiculousness of labeling that which we do not understand (even if it was only a hallucination) as this or that religion. I’m having a very hard time articulating what I think Iñárritu was trying to convey.

My Lord! They stepped it up to a COMPLETE OTHER LEVEL! Amazing Cast, amazing acting and just “off the chain”!

To ellaborate on what you said earlier Taylor, that Hugh Glass envisioned his wife when he was in times of need, but at the end of the film he has avenged his family and he doesn’t need them anymore. It is up to interpretation obviously, but this is my version of it.

I believe they were eating dead Indian and not hogs. Those ribs hanging by the fire looked like human ribs. Fitzgerald was telling a tale and sounded extremely demented I felt his sick mind really was revealed in this scene. He also asked the young boy to look away at the end of the scene. Why do you think he said this? In my mind this degenerate,disgusting man may have used a corpse to satisfy his sexual urges.

The reason I haven’t responded is because I know what you are referring to, but I have no idea what you are talking about. The ending is poignant because he chose NOT to kill him. He let up. He allowed justice to be placed in the hands of God. And yet, the audience gets their justice from the hands of the Indian Chief. The look was their sharing this insight, this knowledge. That look was the deeper lesson he learned and the importance of it. To me it seems a little intense that this moment would be the one to hang you up. Especially in a movie this intense and this crazy good. But whatever.
