Some stories critically deal with the morality of giving the correct justice to the characters. I think Revenant is one of them both ethically and visually. The movie literally tells the tale of a human who is struggling with nature and seeking revenge. But Innarito heavily focused on the poetic devices and literal moral with his beauty of filmmaking. There is so much amount of writing symbolism in the movie. So let us discuss what makes revenant literally beautiful and ethically strong.
"Ethics in a movie can be described by the character's eventual state rather than a content of story"
Let us takes the scene where Fitsgerald(Tom Hardy) makes an agreement with Glass(Dicaprio), that If Glass blink his eyes, he will be killed, Of course, glass did it. But his son interrupts in that situation so Fitzgerald has no other option so he killed him. This scene makes more sense, that there is no wrong with Fitzgerald. They made a deal that's all. But the screenwriter of the movie writes to takes revenge on Fitzgerald. It didn't make sense to the point. Then what makes this story so great. Here we go.
"Revenge is in God's hand..not mine"
We didn't satisfy our selves, that"He killed his son, so revenge is the right thing to do". Because Fitzgerald is genuine in his side, he killed him for his own safety. At the same time, we didn't accuse his son also, he didn't know about the deal. So let me take this point. Fitsgerald hates Pawnee people, that literally leads to that situation. In the ending, we see that Dicaprio realizes this point, he tells that "Revenge is in God's hand..not mine" he drags in the water, then the moral is done by the pawnee-people, and this is the correct payoff given to the character. This is a reason revenant looks ethically strong.
"You came all along the way for revenge.."
And the second thing comes to my mind that how Revenant handles symbolism to tell the morality. The example is that can with circular simple, which expresses the journey of Glass to kill Fitsgerald. It contextually tells that,"Your sins will reach finally even after rounding the earth".
The symbolism in the tree is very fascinating. Especially that lines...
"When there is a storm, and you stand in front of a tree, if you look at its branches, you swear it will fall, but if you watch the trunk, you will see it's stability".When Glass is damaged by a bear, he can just see the branches of the tree. Of course, he can't see the trunk, which shows his weakness and inability to act. The film heavily focussed on determination, strength, and revenge in human's behavior.
