Rating:  - Redemption
Many might consider this film simply an adventure story and an odd one at that. Indeed it could be viewed that way, but it is also much more than a tale of survival based loosely on the life of Hugh Glass.
In short its timeless message is this: the world around us is filled with ugliness, injustice, suffering, betrayal, greed, prejudice, blind ambition, the cruelty of men and the indifference of nature but also with tenderness, love, sacrifice, beauty, and all manner of things which inspire ...

Rating: - Catholic or Christian Movie?? Yes this is
This movie was made back in the days when stupid non realistic John Wayne type westerns were made.

Rating: - A thoughtful, reflective adventure

What struck me about this film is something I've been noting in a lot of films & TV shows from the late 1960s & early 1970s: there's a certain understatement, a certain philosophical & reflective streak, that simply ... Read More
Rating: - DVD ???
Yet another wonderful movie that belongs on DVD. Richard Harris plays this movie without hardly saying a word. A great performance from a classic actor. Bring on the DVD version !!!
