The soundtrack too is another reason is see it. They just can't make 'em like this anymore. The movie narrates how Richard Harris is attacked by a bear and is abandoned by his mates who are carrying a boat with furs to civilization.

Harris survives and will face down lots of risks , dangers and adventures and he then sets off in pursuit his previous colleagues , trying to execute his revenge. In the picture there is western action , thrills , tension , spectacular struggles and riveting landscapes.

Harris' character is based on actual mountain man Hugh Glass , one of the two men left behind to await Glass' death was a very young Jim Bridger. The highlights of the movie are the surrealist trip of the ship amongst the snowy land with a mast in cross-shape under an impressive musical background by Johnny Harris and the survival fight , facing off wolves , bear and Indians. Interpretation of actors is top notch , but especially John Huston is frankly well. Gerry Fisher cinematography is awesome , like are marvelously reflected on the glimmer and breathtaking scenarios.

The picture was well produced by Sandy Howard and compellingly directed by Richard C. The flick will appeal to natural sets enthusiasts and Richard Harris fans. Rating: 6,5.

The Twenty-Ninth Day by Alex Messenger

Good , worthwhile seeing. Based on the same true story that inspired the much more recent "The Revenant", "Man in the Wilderness" is a truly impressive survival drama. They've spent two years collecting their wares, and are now making their way South to a particular river that will take them to trading posts. However, as the film opens, Bass is very badly maimed by a bear. His companions believe he's a goner, and leave him behind. But Bass has an incredible will to live. His struggles to exist in the wilderness - and possible desire for revenge - form the balance of the film. Sarafian of "Vanishing Point" fame.

The Bear's Embrace: A Story of Survival

Bass' resolve is simply amazing, and Harris does a very fine job of creating a vivid and engaging character, a man who lived his life not particularly caring for what others consider "Gods' will". This man earns his sympathies honestly, and his situation is compelling every step of the way. There are some beautifully poignant moments throughout, both in the past we see flashbacks to earlier parts of Bass' life and present.

At the head of the supporting cast is a typically commanding John Huston as Captain Henry, the leader of the trappers who insists that everything be done his way. Henry demands that their ship continue to be transported along with men, mules, and supplies, despite the fact that it really slows them down. There are some scenes that may be upsetting to some in the audience, but things remain convincing and believable for the duration of this well executed production. Eight out of Sordaplay 21 February This is a highly accurate portrayal of what life was like in this cold and inhospitable world.

The way the Arikiree Indians are filmed is very authentic to the period. The Captain, played by John Huston is a hard man driven and determined by a belief that he will discover the Northwest Passage. This portrayal helps us understand why Zack Bass based on real life Mountianman Hugh Glass played by Richard Harris, was abandoned by the Captain and his mates. That Hugh was able to survive is a testimony to the human spirit.

Adventure, love, action and guts.

See a Problem?

This movie delivers. Man in the Wilderness, a great film. This movie is based on a true incident that occurred in the life of mountain man Jim Bridger. He was a young man on a fur trading trip when an older mountain man, Hugh Glass, was attacked by a grizzly bear and left for dead. Glass lived and did not seek revenge but forgave Bridger.

In this movie Hugh Glass is called Zach Bass. I think this film is a glimpse into a world of the loneliness and adventure from a different time. Zach Bass secretly watches an Indian woman give birth while her husband waits. The joy that the husband shows upon the birth of his son is a contrast with Zach's own memories of how his own wife died in childbirth.

Zach has given his child to his dead wife's mother to raise. At the end of the film it is clear that Zach is going to see his son. The other scene that stands out is when he catches a rabbit in a snare and treats it as a pet and companion but later has to eat the rabbit to survive. The soundtrack is perfect. This is a great film that deserves to be seen. Wuchakk 8 May Released in , "Man in the Wilderness" stars Richard Harris as Zach Bass who's adventures are based on the real-life account of Hugh Glass, a man who survives a mauling by a grizzly bear and makes his way crawling and stumbling miles to Fort Kiowa, in South Dakota, after being abandoned without supplies or weapons by fellow explorers and fur traders during General Ashley's expedition of Vengeful, Glass then sets out to confront his trapping partners who left him to die.

Glass' story is also the basis of 's more popular "The Revenant. Zach Bass' long journey is one of discovery and possible redemption.

As a child he experienced the life-stifling slap of legalism, which turned him off to God, but his sojourn, while harsh, is enlightening and conducive to grace. This is a one-of-a-kind Western. The film runs minutes and was shot in Arizona, Mexico and Spain.

The Twenty-Ninth Day

This movie's only problem is that it requires a contact with some of the elements portrayed in it: the place, the weather, the bears, the furs, the protagonists fur trappers or aboriginals. The movie is great because because it does not pretend to be : it just delivers on its premise, a man in the wilderness!

The cinematics is beautiful, and even if one could wish on going in deeper in the psyche of the main characters, maybe you just can't, maybe things are more simple than our techno-psychological outlook of modern society hides from us. ANd that is what makes this an incredible movie. It's plain crazy and believable, the pinnacle of human spirit and and it's loathsomeness.

Well I am putting this in after just watching the Revenant. I took another look at this film which scared the heck out of me as a kid. I can remember watching this on television, weekend days at least 2x. It is a horrifying story, but keeps your attention. The persistence and human will portrayed are somehow inspiring. The weird old boat and hunting party that drag along add to the weirdness that makes this memorable. This story of Hugh Glass has been told many times, I guess. The fear of native Americans on the frontier drives this plot of this film too.

Portrayals like this trained me how to think in ways Having spent a lot of time in the woods, seeing bears black only and having spent time in the woods in winter, this story is very hard to believe. I can't imagine trying to fight a grizzly. As we all know now, watching survival shows, just getting water that doesn't make you sick is a big deal.

You could die from something small like that let alone mortal wounds, no proper clothing, knives and hunting implements.

This film seems to focus on the psychological, but its the tools and skills that would allow someone to survive. The remake of this year called "Revenant" has suddenly brought this original up to date, and a comparison is inevitable. Both have outstanding credits, "Revenant" above all for its amazing panoramic landscape cinematography, but this original weighs heavier.

The acting is so much better, it is more humanly convincing, and although it's the same story it's a totally different story with a much more satisfactory and actually surprising end. Already from the start you are informed of all the facts of this adventurous expedition and its circumstances, and how vital it was for the men to get down to Missouri in time before winter - that race with time is the real thriller of the tale, which is totally absent from "Revenant", where instead you are buried in the tribulations of the deserted man, who is being constantly overloaded with new trials and hardships, as if the first was not enough, which is totally unnecessary exaggerations constructed only for effect.

Here the narrative is more down to earth with moving details stressing the increasing humanity of the sufferer, such as his witnessing an Indian childbirth and his helping a rabbit with a broken leg - this is all more convincing and credible as a Robinsonade from real life, while "Revenant" in comparison is just mostly exaggerations. Here there is no nasty crook with intentional foul play, and an interesting spice to the human problem complex of the story is how the men actually suffer from having left Zach behind, even hallucinating about him for an extra bad conscience, while Zach himself is brought to maturity and insight by his memories in flashbacks.

No bloody cruelty here, only the natural force of circumstances, which makes this film credibly positive in contrast to the remake. This film is ostensibly about a man Richard Harris who is left for dead by the leader of his expedition into the Northwest Territory in early As other reviewers have pointed out, there actually was a man mauled by a grizzly who managed to survive in much the way that Richard Harris does in the film.

In this respect, it is based upon a true story. This film actually has only three main characters: Zach Bass Harris , the expedition leader John Huston , and the Wilderness. The photography is stunning. And the Zach Bass theme is beautiful and haunting. The film is full of action and excitement, as revenge stories usually are.

Bass survives by his courage, by his strength, and by resourcefulness.
