What happened at the end?


Did Hugh Glass die or was he just saying farewell to his wife for the last time? What happened to the money? Fitzgerald took everything and either it was with him or his horse.

To me it felt as if his connection to native americans was done. It felt a bit like an anti-miscegenation theme. If two people of different “races” fall in love, it ends tragically. In this case, both the wife and child died. His purpose was to avenge his son. Once he did that, his relation with native Americans was over and he should just stick with his own kind.

This theme has been used in films for decades.
