We Googled it to see what all the buzz was about, and came across this article in the independent.co.uk with the straightforward headline: "Leonardo DiCaprio ‘Gets Raped by a Bear in The Revenant." From the article:
The level of bear-to-Leo contact (I can't believe I'm writing this sentence) seems to vary from person to person, with another viewer saying that "the bear flips Glass [DiCaprio's character] over on his belly and molests him - dry humps him actually.”
The article quoted longtime Fox News writer Roger Friedman from his movie review on his site, Showbiz411. Friedman, who got an advanced screening of the film, wrote:
The Fox movie, based on Michael Punke’s “novel of revenge,” takes place near Yellowstone, Montana, in 1823. It begins with the same bloody incident that launches the book– the gruesome attack by a grizzly bear on trapper Hugh Glass. Innaritu has taken essentially the following sections of Punke’s book and enlarged them into a feasting by animal on man. The bear flips Glass over on his belly and molests him– dry humps him actually– as he nearly devours him. How Innaritu and DiCaprio did this is a movie mystery because it is as real feeling as Bruce the shark in “Jaws” 40 years ago. It’s as real looking as it could be, and maybe the most frightening moment I’ve seen in a film in eons.
So one person’s opinion makes everyone think, "fact!" And what can be considered satire took Twitter by storm.
You'll probably see this trending on Twitter fairly soon. However, if I were to say that in the movie "Snakes on a Plane" a guy gets bitten in the crotch by a snake, is the snake giving that guy fellatio? I mean, that's about the same thing, right?
Bear gets on top of a guy and mauls him equals he's being raped. Snake bites man in the crotch equals snake performs fellatio.
