Leo got an Oscar for his performance in The Revenant -I can't believe Mads was overlooked for what he did in this film- his performance completely mesmerized without much in the way of dialogue. He totally nailed this struggle of man against nature, struggling for survival, and desperately wanting to connect to another human Enough that he would not leave the wounded woman behind. Yeah, there were some things plot wise that had me shaking my head, ..pretty much Everybody knows that leaving the place that crash is a fools errand especially in those kinds of temperatures and it wasn't clearly enough explained why he determined he would be better off, leaving the shelter of the plane and bringing her with him, as opposed to staying there, where he had a food source and could keep her warm; continue to try to access the radio ... that choice never made a lot of sense to me, but nonetheless, he committed to it, and then refused to give up no matter what the odds -it was really very touching and gripping in terms of the intensity that built very slowly as the movie progressed. The first time I tried to watch this I was very tired and it just put me to sleep The music background score is wonderful but I had to watch it again because I missed a good half of the movie after the other helicopter crashed and I'm so glad I went back and watched it again. I think the ending leaves you to determine whether they made it or not , I being a Pollyanna think that they were rescued before they had died, but they didn't know it when they gave up and that's kind of a metaphor as well ...
