    Ive been rewatching the movie Revenant. I think i like it even more this time around. The Nature scenes are just ‘different’ than other Natury movies I’ve scene. Last of the Mohicans has awesome nature-beauty-scenes. Jeremiah Johnson has awesome nature scenes. Plenty of old Westerns do.

    But Revenant has this weird chilling “nature is beautiful BUT it doesnt give a fuck about you” scenes. The trees and moon and wind and sky just look so awe-inspiring but…they are so…coldly indifferent. I just cant think of another movie that combines the ‘beauty’ and the ‘indifference’ both.

    Anyway, this is one of my favorite scenes. A little scene, but it made me smile. After all the agony this guy has gone through — mauled by a Grizzly, watching his son stabbed to death, buried alive, bashing on relentlessly, crawling around with a broken body — there’s still…this:

    I like that, that’s interesting.

    The Revenant took 5 years to finish. In part because of the climate being too warm in Canada.

    Dunno if people have seen the bonus feature documentary that is on the Revenant dvd, but its inter-esting in parts. Its quite ‘political’ and refers to climate-change and treatment of the american-indians…
