As for me, it is impossible to imagine a more powerful acting performance. With no doubts, DiCaprio proved that he is a talented actor long ago, ever since his teen roles. His Hugh Glass is a man of few words. During the movie, actor utters only a few replicas, but that is where a major professional challenge lies. DiCaprio brilliantly handles the needed tasks - he spits blood, he eats raw fish and liver, he sleeps in the carcass of a horse, he kills, steals, runs, and all this is performed at the highest acting level. Glass managed to represent so many things, and while he is mostly alone on his journey, he is often hampered by circumstances and paired against characters that touch on a measure of recurring themes and conflicts (“The Revenant Ending And How It Differs From History | Page 3”). Brilliant Tom Hardy played a role of John Fitzgerald, who was not just a villain but also a vile murderer of the Hugh’s son. Will Poulter played a role of boyish Jim Bridger, who was deceived by Fitzgerald and left Glass in the grave, was definitely too young for such kind of expeditions. To add, there was an equitable and brave Andrew Henry, played by Domhnall Gleeson - noble and purposeful leader of the group. However, these ones are only the most visible characters, and yet there are plenty of hunters and Indians who quickly erased the glamorous image of the Wild West. It can be said that America in The Revenant is a sort of a purgatory,

Hacksaw Ridge is a war drama based on documentary materials; it was directed by Mel Gibson and first demonstrated in 2016. The film tells story of Desmond Doss, a man with difficult fate.

The Revenant is a novel by Michael Punke originally published in 2002. Punke’s story is one of history, and it has been previously adapted into a movie in 1971 titled, Man in the Wilderness. All media and book did not stick to the original historical figure of Hugh Glass. Most recent adaptation in 2015 by Alejandro G. Iñárritu. Despite the fact that the movie was made famous based on inaccuracy of the actual true story, it still presents wonderful cinematography. There are many strays from the true story of Glass and the factious character in Punke’s novel. To start with, the setting of the true story was not of mountainous landscapes, it was mostly flat terrain. The events occur in the summertime, but the movie depicts them in winter. Putting the true story aside and focussing on the novel and movie “in part adaption”, both were great for their own standards. In this sense I would like to categorize the book and movie with a historical fiction genre.
