In the emotional survival thriller Heart of the Beast<\/em>, retired Special Forces soldier James Belmont (played by Brad Pitt) and his combat dog Odin (played by real German Shepherd Uber) fly to the Alaskan wilderness for some peace and quiet. But things take a turn when their plane crashes. \u201cThe environment becomes the antagonist,\u201d says director David Ayer. \u201cIt\u2019s still stunning, but now the glaciers and the ice fields and the trees make it difficult to navigate. But James is an experienced Special Forces operator, so he knows how to move through rough terrain with only a map, a compass and a pencil to guide him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Filmed on location and in studio in New Zealand, Heart of the Beast<\/em> brings an otherworldly feeling to the country\u2019s soaring mountains and deep valleys. Ayer and his Academy\u00ae Award-winning director of photography Mauro Fiore have imbued the landscapes with a sense of beauty, mystery and a whiff of magical realism. \u201cMauro has old-school craftsmanship, artistry and a creative soul,\u201d says Ayer. \u201cHis work here is all the more impressive because conditions were physically arduous. We were wet, cold, tired and miserable most of the time. There was something about being embedded in that way that comes across in the photography and brings truth to it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fiore and Ayer discussed finding ways to create visuals that would be poetic and lyrical, says the cinematographer. \u201cWe spoke a bit about the beginning of the film being like an impressionist dream that gradually transforms into an expressionist nightmare,\u201d explains Fiore. \u201cBy the end of the film, they are in purgatory. David wants the audience to be unsure of how much of what they\u2019re watching is James\u2019 subjective perception, almost dream imagery, and how much is reality.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

Looking back at a career packed with challenging projects, Ayer figures that Heart of the Beast <\/em>may be the most difficult film he has made to date. \u201cI\u2019ve done a lot of action movies with big casts and witty dialogue, but I\u2019ve never felt more exposed as a director,\u201d he admits. \u201cIt\u2019s just Brad Pitt and four incredibly talented dogs. The focus and intensity were unparalleled. Every camera choice, every shot, the flow, the visuals, it was all critical.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The characters, he says, will remain with audiences for a long time, pointing to a line early in the film in which the character Watkins (played by J. K. Simmons) refers to the region as \u201cthe heart of the beast.\u201d \u201cAnd that\u2019s part of where the title comes from,\u201d the director says. \u201cBut it also refers to Odin. He has an incredibly powerful heart. And so does James. For 30 years, all he\u2019s known is war. War isn\u2019t always military action. Everybody in their own life has their own struggles. So it\u2019s about Odin\u2019s heart and James\u2019 heart and the beating heart of the environment they\u2019re trying to survive in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ayer thinks the film will surprise people and hopes that it will inspire them to keep going, no matter the hardships, as Belmont and Odin do. \u201cIt\u2019s about always being able to take one more step and never feeling sorry for yourself,\u201d says Ayer. \u201cThere\u2019s something aspirational in that. It\u2019ll take audiences to a place they\u2019ve only imagined and make them feel things they haven\u2019t felt before. It hits hard. It shakes you up emotionally and within that emotional journey there\u2019s action, there\u2019s adventure, and there\u2019s fun. At a certain point it grabs you and the next thing you know, it\u2019s over and the credits are rolling, and you have tears in your eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Critics have responded well to the film, which currently has an 89% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. \u201cAs pretty as the natural landscape is to watch, it is still the gut-wrenching emotional reach of this simple story of humanity at its finest, loyalty and friendship at its most meaningful, and above all the heart of a \u2018beast\u2019 and the man standing at his side. There will not be a dry eye in the house. If this one doesn\u2019t move you, there is no hope,\u201d wrote Deadline Hollywood in their review. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
