A few nights ago I was scrolling the TV Guide and saw they were showing The Revenant so decided to take advantage of a good thing.  All I can say is that whatever Leo DiCaprio was paid he earned and than some.  If he had not won the Oscar for that performance he would have been robbed.  I cannot imagine how difficult a role that was to play.  He admitted there were times he was very cold and uncomfortable.  Some scenes were difficult to watch, all and all a fantastic movie with top rated acting.

I agree. I thought it was very good and Leo is one heck of an actor IMHO .

I agree....he was exceptional in that movie! I, too, saw it was on and taped it to watch for the second time. Hard to imagine it was actually based on a true story. Not many could survive what his character went through.

05gage25...I did not know it was based on a true story.  The will to survive for whatever reason is amazingly strong and the body can withstand the most horrific pain and suffering.  Unbelievable.

Oddly this was not a favorite flick of mine....

The revenant was one of the best movies I've ever seen.  The acting was marvelous and Leo did an unbelievable first rate job, I don't think I could have done it.  It is a must see movie.

I agree with you 100%!  DH & I watched this movie and we hardly moved through the whole thing.  It was disturbing and compelling, wasn't it?  Very intense and moving.

i agree this movie was terrifc and leo's acting was superb as always.  i have been waiting for some time for him to get his oscar.  i felt he has deserved it a couple times.

I thought it was great too. A lot of people thought it was too slow.

Although I think Leo is a great actor, I think this was not his best performance.  The movie was good, but something about it just didn't make it a great movie for me.  I am glad that he finally won the best actor award, but felt he should have definitely won before this role.
