The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. Even the little detail like the saloon had been burnt down (not shown) and they had moved to a tent was in the movie, but not really explained, just something you would have noticed if you knew the actual history.
Very close to the actual autobiography, so being a pretty accurate recreation of a real autobiography makes it one of the most realistic historical movies.
Western Revenge, Thriller movie taking place during the Black War. Had a lot of historical advisors and such on board for it's production who apparently were actually taken very seriously.
Also MC is racist as frick so yeah, didn't even skip on that to make her "relatable". >Heavens Gate
Film about the Johnson County War. Was very notable at it's release for being a very realistic portrayal of the West. >The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.
explains why, very accurate retelling of a very in-depth autobiography and stays very close to the source material.
bro The Nightingale was so Goddamn good, I'm glad to see somebody repping it here, Aisling Franciosi is a megacutie and when I found out she also played Lyanna Stark I was pretty shocked, the movie sits on you like a frickin boulder the entire time, I saw it like 2 or 3 times in the theater and I loved it
Also filmed in one of the most beautiful provinces on earth. Alberta is true western geography. We got it all, even a badlands area for that more southern texas/Mexico style of western
Jeremiah Johnson has a lot of accurate survivalist stuff, and the original version of The Revenant story (Man in the Wilderness) is a lot less over the top. Still love the Leo version.
I like McCabe and Ms.Miller because he never boasts about being some super badass and at the end gets his hidden pistol out to kill the guy hunting him after he got mortally wounded.
the wikipedia article of the real guy is unironically a more kino story than the movie turned out to be
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Glass
imagine being that guy instead of Leonardo DiCaprio with a random Hollywood-added indian cuck son.
Were Indians really that dangerous? I just assumed they sat around smoking weed and then got shot by people from hundreds of meters away while they tried to run into gunfire with axes or some shit.
the army crushed them. but yeah they were dangerous to ordinary people because they were Black folk whod ambush civilians and torture them to death
>because they were Black folk whod ambush civilians and torture them to death
This. I've read a lot of first hand accounts of early explorers in America. To anyone armed, Indians were weak and dumb af. They also took every opportunity to ally with European technology and strategy to beat other rival Indians, which they would torture for days on end if captured alive. The idea that Indians were anything but a small step above the africans you see in modern videos hacking each other with machetes and burning each other alive is pure hollywood fiction. Also if anything posed too serious a threat, North American Indians (in general, east or west coast, there's accounts of several) would just run away - which makes it even more savage that they did take opportunities to attack unarmed women and children (many accounts). But they were good at enduring shitty conditions though; they never developed any amenities so they had no choice but to "rough it" in the elements. So there are many accounts of Indians being tougher in bare survival than your average European settler
Pic related is probably the most realistic I've seen. Lawlessness, brutality, savagery, hope and hopelessness, fear, love, human life being both worthless and infinitely valuable. It covers all the bases.
No, not even close.
I always forget this movie exist
I like the way it’s shot but I don’t remember anything from the story
HOLY SHIT SAME!
Yes, and the story is based on a real man including surviving a bear attack
Western Historians say this movie.
oh right this is the shitty movie that got dicaprio the petty oscar isn't it?

this shit was boring as hell. it was just leo screaming and being cold or some shit
moron there's nothing realistic about it you just fell for the long cut meme
no it’s shit, read the diaries of hugh glass. they went out of the way to make the injuns appear to be the victims when it was quite the opposite
It's definitely not a "western", friend-o, you are way too early for that in the movie.
Unforgiven gets real, real close.
Outlaw Josey Wales gets real close as well.
I can’t think of many others where they actually bring up the terror that is a bear in the wilds.

Excellent referral to OP, anon.
I had forgot that one.
>tfw I literally thought this was Zac Gallifinakis in some Tim and Eric style skit.
same, for years of seeing that gif
even knowing it’s Redord, he looks nothing like himself in the clip

He rides off a cliff on a horse and then the horse dies and then a storm approaches so he hides inside the horse's belly cavity

No. They got fricking rolled with ease.
