The Revenant: Leonardo DiCaprio Molestation By Grizzly Bear Depicted in Spectacular Detail from the Novel It’s Based OnAdvance screenings of Alejandro Gonzalez Innaritu’s epic “The Revenant,” starring Leonardo DiCaprio, are producing all kinds of reactions, all wildly favorable, albeit with caveats.
The Fox movie, based on Michael Punke’s “novel of revenge,” takes place near Yellowstone, Montana, in 1823. It begins with the same bloody incident that launches the book– the gruesome attack by a grizzly bear on trapper Hugh Glass. Innaritu has taken essentially the following sections of Punke’s book and enlarged them into a feasting by animal on man. The bear flips Glass over on his belly and molests him– dry humps him actually– as he nearly devours him. How Innaritu and DiCaprio did this is a movie mystery because it is as real feeling as Bruce the shark in “Jaws” 40 years ago. It’s as real looking as it could be, and maybe the most frightening moment I’ve seen in a film in eons.
You can see a little bit of the frightening bear attack in this trailer:Here’s the passage from Punke’s book. Nothing is spared in the filming:
First the bear attacks Glass:
The grizzly dropped to all fours and was on him. Glass rolled into a ball, desperate to protect his face and chest. She bit into the back of his neck and lifted him off the ground, shaking him so hard that Glass wondered if his spine might snap. He felt the crunch of her teeth striking the bone of his shoulder blade. Claws raked repeatedly through the flesh of his back and scalp. He screamed in agony. She dropped him, then sank her teeth deep into his thigh and shook him again, lifting him and throwing him to the ground with such force that he lay stunned— conscious, but unable to resist any further. He lay on his back staring up. …
Then Glass is found after the attack by Harris, one of the trappers:
…he had never seen human carnage like this, fresh in the wake of attack. Glass was shredded from head to foot. His scalp lay dangling to one side, and it took Harris an instant to recognize the components that made up his face. Worst was his throat. The grizzly’s claws had cut three deep and distinct tracks, beginning at the shoulder and passing straight across his neck.
Another inch and the claws would have severed Glass’s jugular. As it was, they had laid open his throat, slicing through muscle and exposing his gullet. The claws had also cut the trachea, and Harris watched, horrified, as a large bubble formed in the blood that seeped from the wound. It was the first clear sign that Glass was alive. Harris rolled Glass gently on his side to inspect his back. Nothing remained of his cotton shirt. Blood oozed from deep puncture wounds at his neck and shoulder.
His right arm flopped unnaturally. From the middle of his back to his waist, the bear’s raking claws left deep, parallel cuts. It reminded Harris of tree trunks he had seen where bears mark their territory, only these marks were etched in flesh instead of wood. On the back of Glass’s thigh, blood seeped through his buckskin breeches. Harris had no idea where to begin….
It’s not the only shocking moment in “The Revenant.” Later in the movie– and the novel– Glass (DiCaprio) comes upon a dead horse, removes its insides, takes off his clothes and climbs inside the carcass for warmth during a storm. If you’ve already survived the bear scene, this is the coup de grace.
And what will Fox do with two potential Best Picture nominees with lead actors and directors in direct competition? They already have a huge box office crowd pleaser with an Oscar performance by Matt Damon in “The Martian.” Every studio should have these problems! They’re almost un-bearable!

Celebrate the Golden Globes with an exciting (and under-the-radar) bubbly or sparkling wine made by small growers of passion and refinement.
Watch the 2020 Golden Globes on Sunday with a glass of bubbly in hand — from rosés to bruts and even whites.
For those hosting a viewing party or an afterparty, be sure to serve an exquisite fizzy drink enhanced with spicy notes of ginger, zesty lemon, crisp apple and cool cherry. Here are nine options for champagne, along with a set of classy flutes.
Flutes
1. Cheryl Saban
Artisanal glass in metallic styles; $65 each, cherylsabanglass.com.
Champagne
1. Louis Roederer et Philippe Starck 2009 Brut Nature
From the house behind Cristal — the original “bling” bottle — comes its polar opposite of sorts, a champagne collab with designer Philippe Starck. With no added sugar, it’s clean and kinetic, much like Starck’s designs, with mouthwatering intensity; $90, wallywine.com.
2. Chartogne-Taillet Cuvee Sainte Anne NV Brut
Grower producers who have backed away from selling their fruit to large champagne houses and began productions of their own include Chartogne-Taillet. Its superb entry-level Sainte Anne NV Brut from the Montagne de Reims is a perfect balance of gingery, salty tang and mouthwatering apple flavors, hinting at richness; $47, klwines.com.
3. Under the Wire 2014 Alder Springs Brut Rosé
Part of a new wave of artisan sparkling wine production in California, Chris Cottrell and Morgan Twain-Peterson make single-vineyard, single-vintage bottlings, this one from pinot noir sourced in a cool site in the wilds of Mendocino County. It’s nervy and vinous, with a salmon color and red cherry flavors that feel as if it's planted in cool soil; $60, klwines.com.
4. Cruse Wine Co. NV Brut Tradition
Michael Cruse makes one of California’s most elusive sparkling wines, the single-vineyard Ultramarine. It’s a wine that people speak of not so much in terms of tastings as of sightings, like a UFO. His NV Brut Tradition is more readily available — and is downright delicious, tight and tense while succulent and full of bright fruit flavors; $50, backroomwines.com.
5. Las Jaras Wines 2017 Sparkling Wine
Actor and comedian Eric Wareheim (Master of None) and Joel Burt make two rare-ish sparkling wines with Carignane, an earthy Spanish variety that’s an unusual choice as a base for bubbles. One is a pétillant naturel (pet-nat) from old vines. Their 2017 Sparkling Wine is a brut in the style of champagne that’s dry, tense, earthy and flavorful; $42, lasjaraswines.com.
6. Sin Eater 2018 Mendocino County Pet-Nat
From Yamakiri Wines’ Lisa Bauer and Alex Crangle, this succulent pet-nat (a style of sparkling wine that is only partially fermented) is made from biodynamically grown pinot gris grapes. Not quite bone dry, it has a slightly cloudy hue, a yeasty scent and flavors that hint at cider and lemon zest. Completely seductive and mouthwatering; $29, stanleys.la.
7. Wenzlau Vineyard Santa Rita Hills 2013 Cuvée L’Inconnu Estate Blanc de Blanc
A vibrant 100 percent chardonnay sparkler from a small family winery (with 12 acres of vines) in the cooler reaches of Santa Barbara County, this wine spent four years on its lees, with zero added dosage. It is crisp and vibrant, with a lemony, salty tang and just enough toastiness to bolster the middle palate; $50, stanleys.la.
8. Pierre Gimonnet et Fils Premier Cru 2014 Cuvee Gastronome Blanc des Blancs
From a grower with relatively large holdings in the Côte de Blancs, this is meant to be a table wine and is bottled at a slightly lower pressure than most champagnes for that purpose, with superb balance between crisp golden apple and toasted lees, with a hint of peach. Refreshing, but with depth; $66, thewinecountry.com.
9. Onward Malvasia Bianca 2016
A well-balanced wine from Capp Inn Ranch in the Suisun Valley; $24, onwardvines.com.
