golden globes and deservedly so is "the revenant" starring leonardo dicaprio and he and the director are both nominated. we talked about this making this film and in in the end it was all worth it >> there's some sequences in this movie that i think are ground breaking cinematically. i mean, what you want as an audience member is to submerge yourself in a completely different reality. >> in "the revenant" that reality is the wilderness of the american west in the 1820s. leonardo dicaprio plays hugh glass, a battered frontiersman seeking revenge against a fellow explorer, the film shot authentically under brutal winter conditions. what about it grabbed you? >> the director. >> yeah, i keep saying -- >> that's oscar winning director alejandro inreceiptu who last year wouldn't academy award for

he's in the conversation again for "revenant." >> we know why leonardo picked the movie because of you and why did you think leo was the right man to play hugh glass? >> i thought and now as a fact i know that there was not a better choice. i think he's an amazing baht body of work, a testimony of how great and accurate it is. without somebody as leo so brave and encouraging, i needed a partner, i didn't need just a great actor. >> was there any point, leo, where you're wearing 100 pounds of fur standing in a frozen river shaking with the flu. >> of course. >> where you looked at him and said what the hell are we doing? >> i think everyone said that on a daily basis, the entire cast. >> at least. >> pretty much. >> i'm an admiration of his ambition, the fact that every single day he strove for this authenticity and he was relentless about getting it.

shared energy that we were doing something incredibly unique. >> a lot of things have been talked and expressed how difficult the production was, but at the end, you know, the audience, the public should not that's our job. that's our diet, and it's a privilege. breathtaking. it's terrifying and feels unlike any other scene i've seen in a film before. the way you shot it and the way you put it together, i'm there and not as though my face is pressed against the glass but like i'm under the bear. how did you achieve that without giving away too many of your director secrets. how did you pull that off? >> what i wanted was not to exploit violence and to blow people's mind by brutal gore. no, it's not gore at all. i disagree with that. it's real. it's just what it is. >> dicaprio and inarritu are all up for golden globes this

whether this is the year leonardo dicaprio finally wins his oscar. >> these things are something that you know is ultimately beyond your control. it's in other people's hands now. >> what would it mean to you though to win best actor? >> i think anyone appreciates those types of things for sure, of course, you know, to be recognized by your peers, but i know it's a cliche, but the truth is it's ultimately not why you do these films. you do them because, you know, if you love the art form and cinema to me is the great modern art form, you can look back one day and say i -- i did that piece of work, and i -- i gave it everything i could while i was there, and -- and if you have enough of those later hon in life, you're a happy artist. >> meanwhile, this guy's got a shelf full of trophies from last year alone. do you expect to get some more attention this year at the oscars? >> i share what leo says correctly, you know. i think that recognition and

think is always a great thing that in a way, you know, you celebrate because it's a celebration. world you live with a lot of people but actually that's a consequence. it's not a meaning. i think we gave it all, and we are very proud and happy about if. >> we really did. >> no argument there. we kind of really did. >> leo is having flashback. >> i agree. >> we really went for it. >> yes, they did.

station, the furthest any astronaut had to go to make improvised repairs on solar panels carrying high levels of voltage and dan was helping scott on the other end of the arm with every dangerous move. >> and south korea's first and only astronaut made history in 2008 when she boarded a spacecraft bound for the snashio and some that have is a dramatic re-enactment and the return to earth wasn't so smooth. the capsule veered off course and land 260 miles away in kazakhstan where nomadic shepherds thought they were seeing aliens land on the earth. good morning. >> watching the series with my 1-year-old fascinated with anything space and he had so many questions starting off with all the challenges you face. scott, talk to us about that mission where you're there trying to fix the solar panels arm. extraordinary day.

ever. it was a day where we were incredibly foucsed on doing something that was completely unscripted. we were faced with a daunting challenge of repairing a live solar panel that had never been anticipated prior to flight and true to nasa form they took something that's almost impossible and made it look easy. people worked around the clock for 72 hours on the ground in houston to develop a plan such that dan and i and the rest our crew could go affect this really dramatic repair. >> in many ways, i don't want to in your hands. >> i was really nervous. >> what was your job that day? >> well, normally i was the robotics operator. wewerain dozens and dozens of times and rehears these operations because it's very dangerous to have somebody on the end of the arm and we had never rehearsed that. got the procedure that morning and had to look through it and understand it well enough to give scoco the assurance that we're going to get him to the

incredible. >> hand your sonny is amaze, your mission out to the international space station, all where the problem happened. >> on re-entry we had a problem during the separation because we had even inside we have fire kind of like and. >> it was smoking. the capsule was smoking on reentry. that's got to be scary. >> they want you to redo and turn on the power. i want to save a lot of other people. >> can you give us a hint of shepards. >> their eyes are big and they're looking at us.

>> the stories are amazing. you did such a great job. you can watch it with your kids. it's such an education. you can catch the science channel's secret space escape next sunday night. >> thank you for being here. >> we're back in a moment. this is today on nbc. after trying brookside chocolate, people talk about it online. love at first taste. i would liquefy it and bathe in it. curse you, brookside! your nefarious plans have succeeded.
