I watched the Golden Globes, more to listen to the beautifully irreverent Ricky Gervais than any other reason, because I am out of the loop when it comes to television series and Netflix. But I was fascinated by the choice for best picture. "Revenant." I haven’t seen it, I won’t be in the near future. I have no doubt that the cinematography is wondrous. And DiCaprio, I am sure he was superb. But the story? It’s old. There are a million stories in the naked city (look up that TV show); just the names change. Same with this one. Revenge. Lots of blood and gore. Retribution. Primal instincts at work. The Bible tells us to leave vengeance to God. Then go out and live the best life you can. That is the sweetest revenge.
