William Henry Ashley, the leader of the grizzly mauling expedition, is buried in an Indian mound about 30 miles from here near Booneville, MO.. There is a historical marker at the site.
Saw it in a theater. True story or not, NO ONE could have survived that many events. Obviously embellished and a little heavy on the computer animation.
That lilly white, scrawny ass Dicaprio with his dainty little girlish physique was the wrong person to play the part of a boot leather tough mountain man. Gotta wonder WTF they were thinking there.
Hollywood is long out of Charles Bronson and Lee Marvin types... remember 'Death Hunt' casting both of them.?
casting Decrapio meant I really had to force myself to watch it.. 😂
-Bulletproof and Waterproof don't mean Idiotproof.
It's based on the true events of Hugh Glass. But Hollywood invented several things that never happened. So don't take it as historical fact. It's still worth watching.
I've never liked Richard Harris.
Wind in my hair, Sun on my face, I gazed at the wide open spaces, And I was at home.
You & I woulda died from hypothermia the first 60 minutes
Kind of my thoughts, too. I can see surviving a grizzly attack, fightin' Injuns, leaping off a cliff on a horse, common stuff like that I'm sure most mountain men did on a regular basis...
But spend a while in a river in the middle of winter in that country where the temps are likely in the teens or possibly far less, then come out soaked to the skin, no fire to warm you, no way to get dry - hypothermia would have killed anybody short of a polar bear.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
