The Revenant

   Over the weekend I watched the movie The Revenant in theaters. Without disclosing any major plot points or spoilers, the film followed the journey of the main character, Glass, played my Leonardo diCaprio, as he braved through rough yet beautiful terrain. Through the film's breathtaking cinematography, I noticed amazing shots of mountainous landscape which led me to recall discussions of different point of views of landscapes. Through arial shots I recalled bird's eye views at an angle as well as God's eye view. Throughout the film in general I was amazed on how Glass was able to navigate through such harsh conditions without a map and just by his navigating skills. I wondered how his journey may have been different if he had a map, and I thought about the importance of maps in general and that I should take the opportunity in class to learn as much as I can about maps.
