If Leonard DiCaprio doesn't win The Oscar; I will be more done than a white girl that went to Starbuck just to find out that they were all out of triple espresso mochaccino lattes.

The Revenant, directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu, is a masterclass in portraying a sense of an untamed yet euphoric setting. Its grimy and increasingly mythical landscape contrast with serene Digital images, showcasing a vast environment with a conflicted aura of inhospitable wilderness and the tantalizing search for greed and power. With Emmanuel Lubezki at the helm as DP, and armed with the Arri Alexa 65, the result is a gigantic adventure with a scope as wide as its constant lens choice, but sadly miscalculated when it comes to core story components.
Its ultimately disappointing to think, after all the horror stories involved in production, that something so misguided can result from such obvious turmoil, but most of the issues…

At first I thought Iñárritu was simply doing a parody of Malick and Peckinpah. Then I realised that this was meant to be taken seriously.

My brain is struggling to process complete sentences after this film, but I'll give it a try...
I really don't wanna oversell this, but "The Revenant" is one of the most stunning, visceral moviegoing experiences I've ever had. Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu is working on another level as a storyteller, channeling his pure, auteur-driven vision onto the screen. It's visually astounding (Emmanuel Lubezki is a force of nature behind the camera), intense, and emotionally fulfilling. Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy also turn in some of the best work of their careers.

I was going to just knock off a smart-ass little one liner … ‘Hiring Mr. Lubezki does not a Malick film make’ … but I’ve been writing too many of those lately, and Alejandro Iñárritu deserves more respect than that. Amores Perros, 21 Grams, and Babel are all films I’ve seen, enjoyed, and respected. I was on the ‘loved’ side of the divisive Bird Man.
I do believe in the nut of that quip I was going to post. I think Iñárritu began to change with Birdman, and the biggest evidence of that change was saying goodbye to long time cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto and striking a new relationship with Chivo.
Rodrigo Prieto is no slouch, but he’s a cinematographer that…

This movie would be fairly short if the camera would stop looking at the trees and look at the...uhhh...action that rarely occurs. I guess looking at the trees was about as exciting as this movie.

This is what it takes to win an Oscar, folks.
Emmanuel Lubezki is who really wins here,

The Revenant is a brutal, engrossing, & exciting tale of survival, sorrow & revenge. DiCaprio's legendary performance, Iñárritu's singular vision, & Sakamoto's haunting score reminds us of the triumph of the human-spirit, the savagery of nature, & the evils of men.

In terms of it being a follow up to birdman, it’s remarkably straightforward, which is a nice change of pace.
Also, I’m really glad Leo won his trophy here, but did he really ever deserve it any other year he got nominated? I’d say probably not. -
