Making a movie like” The Revenant “with a director like Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu , was for artistic cast and production team a trip from hell to glory, where everyone, but especially the protagonist Leonardo DiCaprio , were at their limit physical and emotional, to resist an idea of filmmaking in the XXI century as half a century ago became possibilities. Some got out of this nightmare for others, newcomers, ended up being a dream.
In real scenarios and only natural lighting the new adventure of Mexican filmmaker, where “The Black” was shot (now self-appointed G. Inarritu ) tested his talent and patience rather than fall into the comfort to be a triple winner of the Academy with its previous award winning film “ Birdman “; while DiCaprio also challenged to show (is) that is much more than the “beautiful and spoiled child” of Hollywood and is able to survive any kind of adversity histrionic noticed, even without the need dialogue.
When Hell freezes
The climatic conditions to which the production team underwent in the shooting were just harsh, when subjected to low temperatures, provided follow to the letter the idea of Iñárritu. strictly natural and film in a chronological way locations
Initially the film began filming in Calgary, Canada, but due to the change natural climate scenarios deshielaban of overnight and had to make a decision that tested the production logistics: Migrate to a “crew” of 300 people (with airfare, lodging, ground transportation, food, service ‘catering’, etc.) to the basement of the continent: Southern Patagonia, in Argentina, where frosts were more durable and raw. The cost on both ends were icy continent staff defections and possible cases of hypothermia, even in his own star actor.
With this, the original budget of $ 95 million rose to 145 million dollars.
“I want people to feel cold, smell fear … It was hard, but it was what we needed to achieve. Nobody should care. No one should wonder whether we or not. That is not the purpose of making a movie, “said Inarritu.
In addition to a chronological made -during 80 days, but in nine months time it led to a exhuastiva strategy, for example, if a sequence fight many dead, the following scenes have two characters, but for three or four scenes later, the players return to the battlefield where they remain the fallen, then the production must put everything back when able to do so well the first week that the war was shot.
The litmus test For Dicaprio
True to the “ Method ” Lee Strasberg on the need of the experience as an experience of acting tool, DiCaprio grew a beard for a year to really look like a settler, he subjected his body to action scenes in freezing temperatures than any other star of Hollywood had appealed to the use of double and even ate a raw liver to feel firsthand the agony of a man who learned to survive by the desire of revenge.
” I can name 30 or 40 sequences were the hardest I’ve ever had to do. Either by exiting and entering frozen rivers, or sleep with dead animals, or what I ate on set. He endured freezing cold and possible hypothermia, “said DiCaprio last October at Yahoo Movies.
Even transpired that DiCaprio had already planned star in the film” Steve Jobs “, the British Danny Boyle , but was given the opportunity to work under the orders of Inarritu, so he turned down the role of the founder of Apple and decided to portray Hugh Glass, who after an epic scene with a bear grizzly death practically returns to take revenge.
Lubezki WHETHER IN HEAVEN AND EARTH
The Mexican cinematographer also Emmanuel Lubezki has demonstrated throughout his career on the other side of the Rio Grande its excess capacity behind the lens at the movies, and if a couple of years ago shocked the world with its innovative Space Odyssey “ Gravity “ Alfonso Cuarón , and the passing year their second Academy pocketed consecutive shots in sequence with” Birdman ” You can now take his third straight statuette with its delicacy and naturalness in photography “ The Revenant “.
Without any filter or special lights, “The Goat” was engaged in many previous ensayabar hours for the filming as realistic and above all as quickly as possible and get the 100% natural light.
settlers COWBOYS NOT
The plot set in 1823, many media erroneously placed under the genre of “western” when in fact It goes back to the “cowboys” but settlers in America, tells a story of revenge and survival inspired by real events and characters, located deep in the wild America.
At that time, principles 19th century, the trapper Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio) is seriously wounded by a grizzly bear and is abandoned to their fate by a treacherous member of your team, John Fitzgerald ( Tom Hardy ).
With willpower as its only weapon, Glass will face a hostile territory, a brutal winter and constant warfare among the tribes of Native Americans, in a heroic and relentless quest to get revenge on Fitzgerald.
