The Oscars of February 28 is so dominated by two subjects. First of all the fuss that for the second year in succession only white actors sit at the 20th actor nominations. Is about that subject – rightly – been written, although the last word is not there yet to be told
The other issue is therefore a bit snowed under, namely:. Leonardo DiCaprio finally gets his well deserved Oscar for his almost superhuman performance in The Revenant ?
Titanic
That The Academy, which hands out the Oscars, DiCaprio is not so favorable, we already know since The Titanic . That blockbuster was in 1998 fourteen Oscar nominations, but lead actor DiCaprio was beaten
The film went on to win 11 Oscars, but that did little to alter that incomprehensible omission.; co-star Kate Winslet was indeed nominated, though she did not win
However, DiCaprio got the last years Oscar nominations for roles in other films:. early in his career for What’s Eating Gilbert Grape (1994), and then for The Aviator (2004), Blood Diamond (2006), The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) and So now for The Revenant .
In addition, he shared an Oscar nomination as co-producer of The Wolf of Wall Street , but of which a total of six Academy Award nominations he knew so far not one redeeming

Three Golden Globes
Then the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which awards the Golden Globes, DiCaprio a lot better mood. Not only has he been ten times nominated by the trade union of foreign film journalists, he won the Golden Globe already three times: for The Aviator for The Wolf of Wall Street and early January for The Revenant .
And rightly so, because even now DiCaprio puts forth a marvelous performance as a pioneer Hugh Glass. About the heavy and especially frigid conditions under which the film was shot fell this weekend to read on Nu.nl. (http://www.nu.nl/weekend/4201561/the-revenant-mannen-elke-dag-dood-in-ogen-kijken.html)
Saving Private Ryan
The true story was filmed in 1971 as The Man in the Wilderness , with Richard Harris and Hugh Glass. Glass is a hunter who lives at the beginning of the nineteenth century by a group of men in American forests of the furs they make loot.
Their natural enemies are not only the animals themselves, but also the Indians . After a poetic prologue with feverish visions of Glass about his wife and child show The Revenant the harsh reality when the hunters are attacked by Indians, who are off to their loot.
camera sits in long shots, the beleaguered hunters close to the skin in an attack that the landing scene from Saving Private Ryan is reminiscent; only when the soldiers tried to come ashore while the hunters here just trying to get to their boat. Eventually killed three quarters of them in the bloody attack.
In the dozen which manages to escape not just sit Glass and his half-Indian son Hawk (Forrest Good Luck), but also John Fitzgerald (Tom Hardy), a mumbling rouwdouwer missing half a scalp because of an earlier attack. He trusts Glass and his son and therefore is the first suggests that Glass should be left behind when seriously injured hit by an attack by a bear

Leo and the bear
That scene with Leo and the bear was already a legendary status, and rightly so: it is an extremely intense scene full of bloodshed, scrapes and open wounds that violent Game of Thrones does fade to The Sound of Music . The camera is so close to Leo and the bear that you wonder how they have included this in God’s name.
The camera work is Emmanuel Lubezki, which over the past two years, won an Oscar for Gravity and Birdman and also now nominated again: if he wins, it is thus for the third consecutive time. Other nominations for The Revenant – which garnered 12 Oscar nominations – include Best Picture, Best Director (Inarritu, last year Oscar winner with Birdman) and Tom Hardy, who indeed drop a memorable adversary of Glass, and this nomination to crown must see for a series of strong roles ( Legend , Mad Max , Locke ).
Moreover, the rigors of Glass after the bear’s attack far from over, on the contrary, the indestructible pioneer among other dragged into ice-cold water and covered with horse and all into an abyss, as seen in the trailer. And during these intense scenes knows DiCaprio also still convincingly why Glass continues: to take revenge on the men who him for dead left behind, in particular by Hardy played Fitzgerald
About
Leonardo DiCaprio’s never been an actor it is easy. You will not see a romkom him and also a well-paid role as a superhero rather let him take its course. The Beach to Django Unchained , he always goes to extremes in intense performances.
He also plays on average in only one film per year, while He easily twice as many roles could do. His dedication is similar to that of Daniel Day-Lewis, his opponent in Gangs of New York . But even this method actor was not as far as DiCaprio in The Revenant .
It is hoped that DiCaprio an Oscar is rewarded for his suffering. If only because you will not dare to think about how far he will go next time he would grab Mathews alongside the Oscar. For now he is in any case top favorite in most of the poll.
Regardless of the Oscars is The Revenant a magnificent film, which unbearably intense action scenes alternating with poetic, serene nature scenes. The Revenant is an unforgettable trip and one of the best cinema experiences of this year
