The Glass's story of Glass, which was serialized in some early magazines and newspapers, in the 1830s is . These stories often regarded as leaving left many important details out. What we can say is that Still, characters such as John Fitzgerald were real-life historical figures. There While Fitzgerald was a character by real-life figure, it is not clear that name, and he did seem to have been chiefly responsible for abandoning the victim of Fitzgerald abandoned Glass after the grizzly bearattack. The other character who abandoned Glass was called Bridges, who seems also appears to have been a real-life figure. However, nothing else is known about him and the belief that , but he may be was not the famous mountain man, Jim Bridger is wrong.  The characters in the movie who cruelly left him in the wilderness to die, are based on real-life figures. In the moviefilm, we see that Glass is married to a Native American woman who was murdered in a raid. In the 19th century, it was not uncommon for trappers and mountain men to marry native women in the West . <ref>Swagerty, William R. "Marriage and Settlement Patterns of Rocky Mountain Trappers and Traders." The Western Historical Quarterly 11, no. 2 (1980): 159-180</ref>. There is no evidence that Glass, was even married. Then the Revenant is shown as having a son, by the name of Hawk, who accompanies him and who survives the Arikara attack. In the movie , he is murdered by Fitzgerald in cold blood. There is no evidence that Hugh Glass had any children. Moreover, this means that the scene in the movie where Fitzgerald heartlessly murders the son, simply could not have happened.

The motion picture’s director and the cast were determined worked hard to ensure that portray the Native American tribes were people in the movie accurately portrayed. It hired a number of Native Americans as consultants , particularly those from the Pawnee and Arikara tribes. This effort ensured that the customs and the practices of the Native Americans in the movie are largely accurate. They are even able to speak in the The movie in had actors who spoke the Arikara and Pawnee language. The way of life of the frontiersmen is also very accurate. Iñárritu’s movie really captures the dress, guns, boats , and other features of the people who lived in the West in the 1820s.  One of the most controversial features of The Revenant was the portrayal of French-Canadian trappers. In the movie, a band of French hunters is was shown as raping a Native American woman and also killing an innocent man. While many French-Canadians did commit atrocities in the West, in general they often had good positive relations with themNative Americans. They were more likely to trade with the Native Americans than English speakers and typically did not seek try to take seize the land of the Arikara and other tribes. Indeed, the French-speaking trappers were considered to be much more tolerant of Native American culture and practices than English-speaking settlers, hunters and trappers.<ref>Hine, p. 213</ref>

The Revenant is a justly acclaimed movie and compared to many other movies about the period it is very accurate. Its presentation of life on the Western frontier and the culture of Native America is by and large much more accurate than motion pictures on the period in the past. The movie is based on the amazing adventures of a historic hunter and frontiersman Hugh Glass. He is a rather shadowy figure, and little is known about him.  The movie does accurately reflect his amazing story of endurance and survival. Glass as in the movie did survive a grizzly bear attack, was abandoned and managed to make his way to safety. As in the movie- the real-life Glass was abandoned by his colleagues. They believed that he was going to die and felt that he was placing them in danger. The movie is a revenge story and this too, is also historically accurate.  However, the movie does not stay faithful to the story of Hugh Glass in key respects. The historical character did seek out those who abandoned him, but he did not kill them. Moreover, he did not die as portrayed in the movie. Some of the characters in the movie are fictional such as the central characters character's son and wife. Many of the details of his adventure are exaggerated and incorrect. Overall, the movie is fairly historically accurate and is loosely based on the remarkable story of the frontiersman and his amazing feat of survival.
