Yeh I'm watching it as well. The real gem in that film is Tom Hardy, such a good actor. Revenant is one of those, if I saw it on Netflix I probably wouldn't pick it but if it's on the telly I'd stick it on and just get into it.
Haven't read the book of the film title ... but Glass, Bridger and Fitzgerald were all real and there are plenty of books that feature them ...
I've never looked into it before tbh but just read this... Hugh Glass, the protagonist of the story, never was chased off a cliff, cut a dead horse open for warmth or had a half-Pawnee son. But the frontiersman played by DiCaprio lived a life even more fantastical than any film. Before a grizzly tore a hunk of meat from his rump and lobbed it to her squalling cubs, Hugh Glass was just a middle-aged pirate who had abandoned ship, then dodged two tribes of cannibals only to witness his friend being roasted alive. And then things turned really nasty. I wonder if they can put that in a prequel lol
Watched m last night a 1931 german film........ Pretty good watch if you don't mind that era......probably the original serial killer movie
