The Revenant

this movie is at its best when it’s leo in the wild trying his best to survive, without any dialogue and beautiful snowy mountain environments and colors. Feels very much like a terrence malick film, in the best way. i didn’t really care for the cg animal scenes (you know which one), took me out of the film whenever they showed up and didn’t feel authentic. I’ve heard people call inarritu’s style stuff like “misery porn”, and I don’t want to come across as dismissive but his filmography can feel that way a lot of the time, leads to me not really connecting with his work as much as I want to haha. I will say, the movie gets much better as it goes along, and im really excited to watch this again with a 4K disc and surround system, especially with that sakamoto score, holy moly what a soundtrack
