I just watched it. Really enjoyed it. So often while sitting at work I wish I had lived as a mountain man in those days. But man, the harsh reality of it isn't all just trapping, hunting and fishing lol
I liked the story, but the way that they filmed it seemed a little more “dark” than I think it had to be.
I understand that life back then was difficult, but for example the Pratt character running around for days with blood dripping down his face was a little much.
Also there was a scene where a man was skinning a deer carcass and blood was running down the body of the deer. Now Ive skinned many deer and that’s never happened to me.
I just wish it was filmed with a little more realism than the over drama of the gore.
