History Film / TheRevenant

* Moresoe when they catch up with Glass. If they had just bothered interrogating him instead of attacking first, he could've told them he'd rescued the daughter, she was safe and nearby, and that he was just trying to get home.

* ArtisticLicenceHistory: The real Hugh Glass didn't have any children (that we know of).

* Fingore: [[spoiler: Glass chops off Fitzgerald's fingers with a hatchet in the finale.]]

* ItsPersonal: Glass plans on killing Fitzgerald leaving him for dead and killing his son.

In the early 1820s, frontiersman Hugh Glass (Creator/LeonardoDiCaprio) is brutally attacked by a bear while on a hunting expedition. The fellow members of his party, John Fitzgerald (Creator/TomHardy) and Jim Bridger (Creator/WillPoulter), decide he is too far gone to save and leave him for dead while also murdering his half-Native American son. Glass is able to survive through sheer force of will, and after recovering through a brutal winter, finds himself hunting down Fitzgerald and Bridger on a quest for justice, revenge, and redemption.

* AdaptationalVillainy: In the original version of Glass' tale, [[spoiler: Fitzgerald]]'s main source of villainy is abandoning Glass to save his own ass, and ultimately Glass has to spare his life because by the time Glass finally tracks him down, he had enlisted in the U.S. Army, and killing a U.S. soldier would have made Glass into an enemy of the United States. Here, [[spoiler: Fitzgerald]] actively attempts to kill Glass, ends up killing [[spoiler: Glass' son and later Captain Henry]], and [[spoiler: is ultimately killed by indians in the finale.]]

* DoingItForTheArt: Filming in only natural light high in the Northern Hemisphere meant the cast and crew only had a few hours of filming every day, meaning filming took place over a period of nine months. Add to that the all-too-real cold, and it's tough to blame the crew members who ended up bailing on the project.

* SilenceIsGolden: There are long stretches of the film that don't have any dialogue.
