- In The Revenant, we saw the tale of a true mountain man named Hugh Glass. But how much of the tale was true to history? In this audio podcast, we'll compare what really happened in history with the events we saw on screen.

Based on a True Story is a weekly audio podcast that compares history with Hollywood's blockbusters. Think of it like a movie review, except instead of reviewing the acting or how the movie was made, we'll review how accurate the movie was historically by comparing it to the true story.

I read the story of Jim Bridger when I was a kid and when I saw the movie I was so disgusted with it it is unreal. The real story is 10 times better than that movie and if they had just made it exactly as it happened it would have been so much better. The things that man went through to get to the Fort is unbelievable
If you can try to find the book mountain man by Stanley vestal
Although I'm a little late, these are my comments. The valley of the Grand River is in South Dakota and it was where the north and south fork of the Grand came together that he was mauled. He crawled those incredible miles through dry prairie to make it back to the fort. Your pronounciation of Arikara seems to be straight from Wiki. They and the locals pronounce it Ah-rick-ah-raw. The tribe, of which my brother is a member, prefer Sahnish. You confused some of the detail after he met with Jim Bridger. And last being able to write was probably an accomplishment in that day and age. And the grammar was appropriate for the time period. Good luck on your future videos. Doug, a South Dakotan
I was going to say the same on the pronunciation of the tribe. Thanks for your clarification.
He followed the grand River to the Missouri River, and followed that to fort Kiowa.
The precise facts are hard to know with legendary men of that time. Still, the bare minimum of accuracy in stories of Glass show he was as tough as the toughest frontiersman. Entertaining video,good job!
Thanks for listening!
We know he followed the rivers.
Some of these comments are interesting in that they insist that The Revenant isn't true to the story or that Richard Harris's movie is better. But the narrator here is clear that all we know of the story is Yount's written account of what Glass told him 10 years after it happened. So it's one man's memory of another man's memory of the events. How can we know, nearly 200 years later, exactly what happened and, so, how can we assess the accuracy of one movie over another? Like the movie or don't but don't pretend to know which story is most accurate.
Shit I'll remember the last 4 years for Sure
Glass's situation exceeded the story times 2 or 3. It was a small sample of what he went through. He crawled on his knees for hundreds of miles.
Ended up at a fort... north west of chamberlain SD
No, he just floated down the grand River and Missouri River. Probably very little overland progress.
Quick reflection establishes the following - in no particular order: 1. Historically the events did not take place in the winter - UNTIL Glass reascended the river and eventually caught up with the Henry group - including the unidentified youth in the abandoning pair (usually ASSUMED WITHOUT HARD FACTS to be Jim Bridger.) 2. NO ONE DIED and NO ONE WAS KILLED. 3. There is no evidence Glass was ever married, although he may have taken or been given an Indian wife while held as a prisoner/adopted son. Further, IF he did have a wife AND IF the union produced a son, said son would not have been old enough to be on the Henry expedition.
There may be more but the above quickly come to mind as GROSS errors in the movie
Man in the wilderness with Charlton Heston was also based on Hugh glass. Also a very good movie
Man in the wilderness stared Richard Harris, not Charlton Heston, I think you are thinking of The mountain man.
The real story is so much more interesting than the movie.
Yeah because Hugh gets maggots growing on his back
Indeed, I hale from Lemmon South Dakota, our little town is about 15 miles North of where the attack took place, the exact location is now beneath the waters of the Shadehill Dam There is a monument on the hill overlooking the location of the attack. Believe me, that crawl through the high prairies of South Dakota was indeed legendary, rivers and creeks are few and far between. I believe he would have followed the flow of these rivers or creeks as best he could as they would have offered him the most rare of commodities in this part of the world, water.
Wow that’s cool! Do you have a photo of the monument? I’d love to see it!
Brilliant! Well researched and presented...
He was born in Scranton Pa. about 2 hours north of Philly
Insert Office theme here
At least he never had to face cornpop...
Yes it’s a true story but ,The revenant is a remake of “man in the wilderness” from the early 70’s
Christine Tomaro I HEARD A RUMOR....
Yes. A way better one.
This happened in south Dakota not Colorado.
Great job
People today have no idea of what tough is.
this was great
Very good video indeed
video?
Well done
So agreeing to disagree wasn't an option then? 🤦🏽♀️Men
yes it is loosely based on Hugh Glass
A - RIK -ARA TRIBE
Pronounced... La-feet....
It's pronounce as- a-rick-a-rah.
Thanks for listening!
Thank you, yes. a quick google search would have indicated this. Although I think the narrator is just saying it too slow and over enunciating. uh-RIH-kuh-rah...
Man in the Wilderness wirh Richard Harris much better
Classic film!
William Simmons I loved that movie growing up
Awsome movie. But not educational.
The movie was a sham. They did not use much of the true story. It was so fake when the water shot out of his neck when he drank....ya, true to life....
I am tired of fake movies.
With you on that Wayne the barber. They twisted the real story of Glass.
It's only a movie not a Natural Geographic or History Channel documentary. We like em or we don't, To each their own.
i agree but all that really matters in this movie was that was 1 tough ass dude that survived a bear attack alone damn near the rest fuck it
While I agree that the movie is “fiction based on fact”....I disagree about your theory about his neck wound. I think you’d all be surprised by what the human body can endure.
@@rbwood1978ify I do concur sir. Most "based on a true story " films embellish the truth. Besides much of what is known comes via 3rd person heresay anyways. Anyones has the right to express their art as they see fit. Movies and Series have been made about events during times of better record keeping and much higher literacy rates that are probably less factual. "Deadwood," "Public Enemy," and "Blow" are all examples. To each their own though. If its factual recollections of events that one wishes to persue my advice is to avoid Hollywood productions.
B.S. story
so he never got his revenge on Fitzgerald?
No
He passed on it.
I heard he joined the army, so it was certain death if he killed him
The Revenant is garbage. They should have named it "Leonardo DiCaprio Makes Faces". That would be MUCH closer to the truth about this movie. Arikara ... uh - rick - er - ra. Kiowa ... ky - oh - wa.
saurav sharma yeah, that's right, he didn't make any faces.
Positvely painful to listen to the mispronunciation of Arikara and Kiowa over and over.
@@littlejimbridger7770 Hush now.
Obumer enough said
