Realistic survival works for every centimeter in FPT Play
Originally designed to make shoes for Korean genius Park Chang Wook, however, The Revenant project had to go through 10 years of ups and downs before it reached the hands of Alejandro G. Iñárritu, award-winning director.3 Oscars. Under his manipulation, the work won art and revenue, and helped A-list star Leonardo DiCaprio neutralize “bad luck” with a gold statue.
The story is based on an anecdote about navigator Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio). Despite being mauled by a bear and purposely buried alive by his teammates, he miraculously survives and travels over 200 miles to avenge the traitors.
The process of recording the body properly
“If using a green screen, everyone in the crew will feel happy and comfortable, but I don’t want my film to be in danger of being wasted,” – Alejandro G. Iñárritu shared with the press. To bring realism to his ideas, he minimized the use of computer graphics (CGI), accepting only shots in natural light conditions.
Not to mention, instead of shooting everything in one scene and then moving on to another, the director insisted on shooting in scripted sequence. Although the above plan had the players completely immersed in the story, it would double the cost of production, renting props, and staff.
For 9 months, the entire crew had to constantly travel between Canada, USA and Argentina, and only had about 1 to 2 hours a day to shoot. Many people have asked to step down from the crew because they couldn’t stand the harsh weather conditions and demands from the director.
However, thanks to that strictness, the image at Revenant can only be summed up in two “perfect” words. After Children of Men (2006), Gravity (2013) and Birdman (2014), photographic director Lubezki continues to conquer audiences with a series of complicated and unbelievable oneshots such as the lost hunter scene. against the grizzly bear.
Through its prism, the northern frontier of the United States in the early 19th century looked majestic with towering cliffs, white glaciers and vast prairies… Though very beautiful, the bone-chilling and ferocious wild animals here could easily easy to eat it. humans all the time.
The wildlife painting not only aided Glass’s fierce and poetic survival journey, it also helped Alejandro G. Iñárritu and Lubezki bag two prestigious Oscar gold statuettes in the Directing and Cinematography categories.
Leonardo DiCaprio’s body-challenging performance
Prior to participating in the Revenant project, Leonardo DiCaprio was famous as a star with a bad relationship with Oscar. Received nominations for Best Leading Actor for incarnations in The Aviator (2014), Blood Diamond (2006), The Wolf of Wall Street (2013), however, the actor continues to miss the golden statue from time to time.
Therefore, deciding to “quite a loss” with the Academy, he poured all his heart into the role of navigator Hugh Glass. Leaving behind his handsome and slender appearance, Leonardo surprised the audience with his new messy hair and beard. Although the recording time only lasted 1 to 2 hours a day, the actor had to spend more than 4 hours sitting motionless to serve makeup.
In addition, even though the weather is minus 25 degrees, he doesn’t hesitate to sleep on a horse carcass or throw himself into the freezing water. In fact, because the jelly props used by the crew looked too “fake”, Leonardo immediately asked the director to let him eat raw beef liver even though the actor himself is a vegetarian.
Notably, throughout 70% of the film’s minutes, the characters he takes on just groan and growl from a series of severe pains. However, the Hugh Class still displayed a survival instinct and a strong desire for revenge with body language and eyes. Through his blue eyes, viewers will feel every level of emotion in the pilot: from calm, fear to despair or seething hatred.
And with the most vicious and tragic role in the history of cinema, the actor with dignity stepped on the stage of the 88th Academy Awards (2016), bringing himself the first prestigious gold statuette after 3 decades of relentless acting efforts.
