Re: 12th Annual Historical Appreciation Challenge List Thread 21 May-5 July
6/6/21
1) The Revenant (2015) - Leonardo DiCaprio plays Hugh Glass, a frontiersman who, in 1823, was attacked by a bear and left for dead by the rest of his party, but survived and tracked down the man who killed his son. This is based on a purportedly true story, but in the story I read, there was no mention of a son (or Indians pursuing Glass and the others, or French trappers), and Glass basically followed the guy through hundreds of miles of wilderness to retrieve his favorite rifle, which the guy took when he left him for dead (but I can see why they would add that stuff to the movie's story for dramatic effect).
6/8/21
2) Selma (2014) - The events leading up to the 1965 voting rights march from Selma to Montgomery led by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (David Oyelowo) are shown.
3) Man in the Wilderness (1971) - Another movie version of the Hugh Glass story. Richard Harris plays Zachary Bass, a frontiersman who in 1820 is left for dead after being attacked by a bear, only to survive and track down the men who left him behind.
