Suffice it to say that our assembled forces were more than ample to carry the field, punish the Arikara for their treachery, & reopen the Missouri for our venture. That such results did not occur we owe to the unsteady timber of Colonel Leavenworth. Glass is a true OG. Born in the late 1700s, he made a name for himself as an explorer and trapper on the great American frontier, though many seemingly mythical accounts of his life credit him as a part-time pirate and Pawnee as well. Despite this prodigious résumé, Glass is best known for one important event in his life: his quest for revenge. The Revenant: A Novel of Revenge by Michael Punke".

Funny enough, he won the award for the film in which he has the least dialogue! He has about ten minutes of dialogue throughout this movie. About this he said, “It was a different type of challenge for me because I’ve played a lot of very vocal characters…It’s something that I really wanted to investigate – playing a character who says almost nothing. How do you relay an emotional journey and get in tune with this man’s angst … without words?” The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins?

I urge you to communicate to our syndicate-in strongest possible terms-my complete confidence in the inevitable success of our endeavor. A great bounty has been laid by Providence before us, & we must not fail to summon the courage to claim our rightful share. Hugh Glass was a man who lived life on the edge. This was not due to any need or cash crunch. He just liked it, and soon it became the only way he knew how to live. His father wanted him to become a lawyer, but Glass had other plans for his future. In the end, his father relented and allowed him to pursue his dreams. Glass started his career as a sailor. He later became a frontiersman, hunter, scout, and fur trapper. In the end, Fitzgerald brings this up, saying he and Glass had had a deal and Hawk wasn’t listening to him try to explain. Glass yells that they’d had no deal. He did blink though! But maybe he wasn’t fully comprehending what Fitzgerald had been saying at the time, or maybe his eyes were just feeling dry and he had to blink sometime lol. I don't think "Revenge" is considered a book genre, but it should be. Apparently I really love books on revenge. After the movie, I read the book and my only memory from it was that I found the book disappointing. There is a specific scene in the book I didn’t like, and I will get into that later. Reading the book this time around, made me realize how little I remembered about it from that first reading lol. It was much better than I had remembered.

Crazy Horse is aware of the military’s belief that they aren’t capable of planning any kind of strategy, which he believes will play out in their favour. The battle that inevitably ensues ends up being an epic one. A battle fought with an almost blind arrogance on one side, and brilliant strategy on the other. Not only are the men in The Revenant struggling with each other, but Nature herself has a huge role in this survival tale. If the characters aren't freezing, they're starving or looking for a safe place to sleep. Abrams, Rachel (November 1, 2011). "New Regency boarding 'The Revenant' ". Variety .

To me, this is very helpful as you understand what the Native Americans were thinking but at the same time, you also understand the white settlers' side of the story as well.I think the movie took a gripping, incredible story, and made it even more incredible. This movie is just a piece of art in every sense of the world. I love that Iñárritu wasn’t trying to make a movie to please audiences and studios, rather make a movie that he could be proud of. Everything about it is impeccable.
