Fucking hell - The Revenant is violent (just watching it now)

[Aridane]

Just the thing to start watching before going to bed

Oh goodness, the bear attack!

This is a bit grim.

Like one extended torture scene.

Does he survive?

I assume he does against the odds...

My advice having seen this at the cinema would be to stop watching now, and use the days hours you save to do something more worthwhile, like watch paint dry sleep.

Not sure I'm going to be able to sleep straightaway after the gruesomeness

Di Caprio has come a lot g way from Titanic...

It reminded me of a Road-Runner cartoon! How many times can one person escape certain death 😂

We watched this last night - it gets worse!
I gave up before the end.

Fucking hell - now he's sleeping naked in the steaming horse carcass

I quite at the fish eating tonight, have seen this before and just didnt have the stomach for the whole film tonight (had to switch channels during the bear scene!). Found the relationship with his son so much more wrenching tonight, perhaps as my children are getting older its touching new nerves!

If you need lighter relief I loved the eddie the eagle film on channel 4 earlier this week. Especially the hugh jackman faking an orgasm scene...

You should listen to The Dollop podcast on this instead. Very funny, much more informative!

Episode 5 - Hugh Glass. And then listen to their others because it's hilarious

When I watched this I didn't even realised the "baddie" was Tom Hardy till afterwards as he was so brilliant. Hope you finished it.

Yep - finished it and off to bed.

Can you link to Dollop?>?

I normally just get it through the apple podcast app, but you can find it here!

What were you expecting from a movie about a retired outlaw revenging the death of his son in the 19th centrury American frontier? Puppies and kittens?

I loved this film! It is so beautiful. Some of the scenes are just gorgeous and the way it is shot is like a painting. Mind you, I tend to like films where people triumph over the odds.

I am with weaselwords, amazing film. And pretty authentic as to life for fur trappers in the 18th (or was it 19th) century, not so much the bear fights and sleeping in horse carcass, but less little house on the prairie gubbins. Life was hard, miserable. I felt that they improved the sound in the later tv version as you couldn't make out anything Tom Hardy said when it first came out.
Then they started making top hats with silk from china instead of beaver fur and the demand disappeared.

knitted - I had no idea what the film was about before watching it!

I saw it in the cinema. I think I should have looked up the meaning of "revenant" before I saw it. I started laughing after the sixth or seventh time he 'died'. It's basically a zombie movie. Amiright? A revenant returns from the dead; a zombie is the living dead. Potato; pot-ah-toe.

I didn't know the meaning of Revenant until your post now!

Merriam Webster says:

"What is a revenant?
For much of 2016, revenant was among our top lookups, doubtless because it was prominently featured in the title of a movie (The Revenant) released in 2015. Outside of contemporary cinema, revenant is encountered rarely, and it appears likely that many users who were unfamiliar with the word wished to learn more about its meaning and perhaps where it came from. Denoting “one that returns after death or a long absence,” revenant is a borrowing from French that was originally formed from the present participle of the verb revenir ("to return"). It literally means “one coming back,” either from another place or from the dead."

Ha - also didn’t know until looking at the Wikipedia entry that The Revenant is award winning(Oscats?)

I thought was the most boring film I've seen in years....I stuck with it for Domhnall Gleeson.

I found it to be a very miserable and depressing film. He wouldn't have survived the initial bear attack anyway.
