[MOVIE REVIEW] The Revenant

Good movie, worth your time. Not necessarily for the characters, or the historical accuracy, or the plot, or the intrigues, or any of that. It is good because it manages to create a certain mood that is relateable to twenthyfirst century living, it displays a kind of wilderness and landscape that is appealing to people of my generation (the millenial genertaion). With unusually prolonged scenes that the avarage Hollywood movie watcher may find boring, it manages to sustain my attention for the whole of it. It also has some nostalgic aspects for me, having been in Northern Sweden a lot my youth I remember those beautiful mountain landscapes covered with snow.

I dont find DiCaprio´s character particularly appealing (RIP oscar), yet I can imagine that some do. Watch it for the landscape and mood, not the dialogue, plot or anything else. The moral decision making that is involved in the story does not make any interesting points at all, the only redeeming feature is the landscape and mood of it, and it manages to save the whole movie.
