Title: A dramatic rendition of a true story
Review: The story of Hugh Glass, well known to many South Dakotans, is one of the great sagas of that state, and of the northwest in general. It takes place only 19 years after the Lewis and Clark expedition, when the area was still both wild and racially and tribally divided. Glass, left to die by comrades after being badly mauled by a female grizzly bear, survives and seeks revenge on the men who left him (one of whom, Jim Bridger, later became quite famous in his own right). He winds up not killing either one, but his survival story is a nearly unbelievable tale of courage, perseverance, intelligence and knowledge of the wilderness. Excellent movie, check it out.
