--- --- # Watch _The Revenant_ As a 1920s Silent Film by [Melissa Locker](https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/) ## Melissa Locker Feb 16, 2016 4:21 PM UTC by [Melissa Locker](https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/) ## Melissa Locker Feb 16, 2016 4:21 PM UTC If you haven’t seen Leonardo DiCaprio earn his Oscar nomination in _The Revenant_ yet, be aware that there are some spoilers in this video. Despite the risk of seeing a few hints about the plot of the film, it’s worth it to watch the latest movie remix from [Mashable’s Watercooler.](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCjesKhjzjezpmdP6eYRz5w) In the video, Alejandro González Iñárritu‘s bleak film gets transformed from a somber meditation on man’s endurance into a campy, dramatic silent movie, which would give Charlie Chaplin a run for his money. In the remix, DiCaprio’s performance in _The Revenant_ goes from darkly dramatic to theater camp worthy thanks to the ebullient piano soundtrack and exclamation point-worthy title cards. Even an assault by a bear seems like nothing more than an exciting walk in the park when paired with the jolly music.
