DC has been waiting for this to be shown as the critical response for it was very good. It's about how a man survived against all odds to seek revenge for his son stabbed to death by his mate.
It was a cruel world then, betrayed, abandoned and left to die. I admired his wits and determination to stay alive but at the same time thought that some parts were quite unreal... e.g. crawling out of his grave when he was so badly injured, falling down the cliff unhurt while the horse died, outfighting a bear, etc
I did feel that Leonardo Dicaprio deserved a big win this time (The Revenant won three Golden Globe Awards, and was nominated for 12 Academy Awards) as playing this role was really hard work for him!
