-->The Fox movie, based on Michael Punke’s “novel of revenge,” takes place near Yellowstone, Montana, in 1823. It begins with the same bloody incident that launches the book– the gruesome attack by a grizzly bear on trapper Hugh Glass. Innaritu has taken essentially the following sections of Punke’s book and enlarged them into a feasting by animal on man. The bear flips Glass over on his belly and molests him– dry humps him actually– as he nearly devours him. How Innaritu and DiCaprio did this is a movie mystery because it is as real feeling as Bruce the shark in “Jaws” 40 years ago. It’s as real looking as it could be, and maybe the most frightening moment I’ve seen in a film in eons.. -Roger Friedman, Nov 29, 2015

* Fitzgerald's bizarre soliloquy about his father finding God [[spoiler:in the form of a fat squirrel he ate]] when he was starving. Bridger's utterly bewildered reaction sells it.

* While Elk Dog's [[criticism TheReasonYouSuckSpeech]] of Toussaint and his men is a superb moment of high drama, the deadpan reaction of Toussaint's interpreter regarding the Arikara chief's French skills is worthy of a few chuckles.

* There's a terrifying scene where a bear almost mauls Hugh Glass to death, but when the movie was first released, there was a rumour going around that he gets raped by a bear.
