It's interesting that it focuses so explicitly on survival. If we're spared the usual Inarritu "pain, art, we are all connected" pseydo-philosophizing this could be his best movie for me. 

Well, I didn't say those elements aren't present. (Mostly they're more subdued than usual for Inarritu.... although there's a moment in the final shot that annoyed me in a very Inarritu-esque way).

The real question though. Is it better than The Grey?

I think I know what Tele's answer to this one is

[Plain Old Tele]

The real question though. Is it better than The Grey?

The answer is as clear and obvious as a Lubezski-framed landscape.

[Jake Gittes]

Knew it.

So it's better than Ravenous? Cause the whole thing still screams Ravenous to me.

I haven't seen RAVENOUS. The strengths of it aren't the plot, but the way Inarritu and Lubezski put you in the middle of the unfolding situations.

Tom hardy first Oscar tele?

What was Domhnall Gleeson like?

Tom hardy first Oscar tele? 

I'd love it but I don't think so.

[Plain Old Tele]

What was Domhnall Gleeson like?

He was solid but unexceptional (like basically everyone other than Hardy and DiCaprio). Definitely not a knock on him, most of the supporting characters are defined in broad strokes only, and he doesn't have a lot of screen time.

How were the trees?

[Plain Old Tele]

How were the trees?

Alternately stark and lush, and rustled emotionally and beautifully with the cruel wind.

[Frozen]

It's so close!!!!!!!

Sorry to bother you with more questions, and I understand if you can't answer them, but what was the CGI like with the bear and the horse falling off the cliff? Also, is it true Leo only speaks around 10 lines of English?

The bear was great. Horse, eh, you could tell it was CG but it was pretty good too.

Yeah, Leo doesn't speak much at all (either in English or Pawnee).

Hard to say. It's a really competitive category this year and the role doesn't provide the larger thematic context that the Academy tends to like. And Hardy's performance isn't grandly over-the-top either. Unless the Academy falls in love with the movie and it gets a ton of nominations, I don't see Hardy getting in.

[The Futurist]

So We see Will Phoulter blue balls because of the cold ?

Inarritu said there was a massive blue balls set piece in his interviews & no I am not joking, it was actually discussed in the marketing of this film.

 

Lubezki is three peating probably.

[WrathOfHan]

Right now I think this wins Cinematography and maybe Editing.

Was chasing the real snow up and down two continents worth it?
