Lovely, Dark, and Deep Review

Of the several types of conflict in storytelling, 'humanity vs. nature' is both one of the most interesting and one of the most underutilized. Most of these stories devolve into basic survival thrillers and dramas about someone or some group attempting to prevail against the harsh cruelties of nature. From Dersu Uzala and Walkabout to 127 Hours and The Revenant, 'humanity vs. nature' conflicts can result in some astounding films.
