Apocalypto - Making Of (by Mel Gibson - 2006)

700 extras. 250 make up artists ...
Production Budget: $40 million !!!

[@julie1630]

Mel Gibson should have won Oscar Best Picture. He's an absolute GENIUS.

[@felixdom9693]

It still shocking me how he never win anything over all the masterpiece he ever made

[@deirdrevaughan5078]

Yes he really did deserve to win, brilliant film .

[@Stevie-hn7mp]

Absolutely agree . What they did to make this masterpiece come alive is pure genius

[@rakanabdullatif4208]

he didnt win anything because the J's blacklisted him

[@dvlarry]

@@felixdom9693 Mel won best picture and Best Director for Barveheart.

[@selfknowledge9560]

This movie feels like we are actually transported into the times of Mayan civilization. The big reason is Mel's decision to use the actual language and the hard work they did in costume design. Mel is an extraordinary director. I feel sad that he didn't get any awards for "The Passion" and "Apocalypto," but he has won the hearts of his audience which is above all awards.

[@deathchronicles6960]

As mel said they use real jaguar who is standing for real to jump the man.. I know it was real at first without the behind story. I think he is man trained wild jaguar

[@ProjetoOriginalGuarusmcs3885]

Impossível receber um Oscar sobre qualquer filme que coloca a brutalidade dos judeus nua e crua, ou seja, como ela é. Neste filme apocalipyto narra nas entrelinhas finais a chegada dos judeus nas Américas.

[@aaronbecker667]

No it doesn't. If you actually know anything about that period of history you would 99% of this is movie nowhere near Mayan history or culture. You can't have smallpox in Mayan society, or have Mayan bei g astonished at a city, or starvation on that scale, also the sacrifice was way overboard and more akin to Aztec not Mayan, and then the Spanish come in at the end. He isn't very good at getting history correct. Only have to watch Braveheart to know tell8ng a correct story isn't important

[@user-np8gd1qb1v]

Esse filme é simplesmente maravilhoso demais...nunca bi nada igual

[@digital_element]

It's because Mel Gibson has spoke out against Hollyweird in the past.

[@twogenders]

When this film is shown 100 years from now, people will still be awed by it.

[@StellaAdler_]

It’s unbelievable just how good this movie is. Most of the actors had no previous experience & the sheer amount of emotion and intensity, 95% of hollywood “greats” cant deliver something like this. This movie has and always will be my number 1.

[@ArletteMaotieBomahou]

I am still baffled why Mel Gibson didn't get an oscar for this. 16 years later I am still moved by this movie although it's brutal. It's a complete masterpiece; No one has ever done such a movie.

[@tannhauser5399]

@Arlette_Fitover40 - Personally, I'm not suprised about it at all. The whole Hollywood (pretty much that would include every movie studio, management (and top level studio executives and so on) - is about perception, politics, statistics regarding the movies, current marketing trends, and so on. Like everything in US. Money and greed, with a bit of marketing here and there. So personally I'm not suprised about it, considering the so called "Hollywood" approach to anything different, or general approach to something like a native population and so on.

[@topsuperseven7910]

Unfortunately, Gibson was being 'blacklisted' by Hollywood at just about the perfectly wrong timing for the movie. I recall it got some nominations but only for things like set design or some technical awards and then was 'shunned' and "that which shall not be spoken". for sure, its just an astonishing movie but for political/social reasons it was 'canceled'

[@LostGenerationn]

Oscars and Grammys are a joke...frauds and trash win it all the time.Makes me sick people still care about this bullshitt

[@dalebecause2467]

Because the losers of Hollywood blackballed Mel Gibson........thats why there were no awards...

When Mel Gibson made this movie,i realized that making good movie doesnt need famous actor or actress to cast.Choosing a right material or story and a good Director is the key.Braveheart,Patriot,Passion of the Christ,Apocalypto are all great movies.

Just when I was thinking about how to translate these thoughts into English, I came across your comment. You wrote what I was going to write, I don't have to write anymore.

[@genericname121]

What I appreciate about the gore in this film is that it all makes perfect sense. Everything about the gore is reasonable for the setting. Of course they would use captured and enslaved people as target practice. Of course being impaled would rip the breath from your body. Of course blunt force trauma directly to the temple would involve a little spurt of blood from your temporal lobe. It’s gory as hell, but that’s because these things are realistic, and things EXACTLY LIKE THIS actually happened, all over the world, in societies amid development.

[@peggydadaille8972]

Apocalypto , one of the best and most understated movies ever made! It’s a shame that it did not receive the recognition it deserves.

[@fgenasis4127]

[@arlenmargolin4868]

I was just wondering how many awards this movie got of course there is a lot more to a movie than just the script and the actors obviously

[@Morrow45105]

That’s because Mel Gibson is not a democrat. Anything from a known Republican gets knocked by Hollywood

[@hannotn]

I definitely agree that it's a great movie, but I struggle to think of anything understated about it. The vibrancy and difference of their culture to our own, the violence, the costuming.... all seems blindingly extravagant to me (and the better for it)

Когда я впревые увидела Апокалипсис,я была потрясена тем, насколько в одном фильме может сочетаться красота природы, сюжетная линия, актеры, операторская работа, решение с субтитрами (обычно не нравится, но тут просто прекрасно), а решение снять на юкатекском языке... А после того, как узнала, что режиссер Мэл Гибсон, просто ахнула. Я даже не знала,что он режиссер!! А он снял НАСТОЛЬКО потрясающую работу! Я не профессиональный режиссер, но как профессиональный зритель 😁 скажу, что это одна из лучших работ, которые я видела! Так обыграть выбранную тему, так раскрыть, с такими мелочами... Браво, Мэл!!! Спасибо огромное, это Ваше наследие, безусловно, это фантастическая работа всей команды, каждого причастного к картине!!

This film is truly a cinematic tour de force. I think because the actors weren't household names and the sets were real and the extras weren't CGI'd in, one really is transported into the Mayan culture and the drama of the story. It is a totally immersive experience when you watch it.

God rest my mother, this was one of her favorite movies of all time!! It took me a bit to convince her to watch it...she said "I don't like subtitled movies, I always pay attention to the subtitles more and end up missing the movie"...well, she ended up watching it anyway after my recommendations, and it became one of her most watched movies as something she could revisit when there was nothing else on she liked!

too much work, not enough profit. They prefer stuff they can just subcontract out to computer artists that will return 5-10x as much in revenue. To hollywood, there is no reason to make these movies. And now with streaming you arent' likely to ever see movies like this get made again. This movie made maybe 20-40 million in profit, and that was with a full theatrical release, today nobody would go see it and it would be a financial disaster. Just look at "The Last Duel".

Masterpiece of a film form a Genius filmmaker. This is one of those cinematic gems that generations will always discover and love, it is a timeless story and amazing civilisation it shows us. Thank you Mel.

[@MrFernando1820]

I hope Disney is taking notes after all the garbage they and Hollywood have been putting out lately, Mell is a true genius, and I am very grateful to still have this guy still around and looking forward to his next movie.

[@jamesalexander3530]

Apocalypto is a masterpiece of film making. Brilliantly done, amazing cast and support actors. I am puzzled why few talk about it now in the early 21st Century. Gibson seems like an amazing energetic manic director with crativity and vision few have ever possess. I rate this film in my list of the ten top eye-popping movies ever produced.

[@TheSixStringGuy]

Same here. It is a masterpiece

[@joanmanalo9421]

Maybe it's just because in some scenes of the movie..it's too Savage.. although the story needs such scenes, some don't have the guts to watch removing of organ in such a way..even it should be rated to 18 and above, because some parts are really disturbing.

[@markopolo3435]

It really makes you appreciate the attention of detail that goes into making a film.

[@yury_sch]

What a great job! After all, Mel Gibson is a great man. And he is very purposeful. Not every director has enough patience and perseverance to take the viewer centuries back in time, so that the viewer believes in this "time machine".

[@Faerysong1]

This has always been one of my favorite movies. Magnificent!!

[@BusyBasaz]

Mel Gibson has had some bad patches in life, as has we all. But you can't deny that he's a brilliant actor and director.

[@chucknade4507]

Say what you want about him, but that son of a bitch knows story structure.

[@AP-bo1if]

bad patches? like what? some very true comments about a certain tribe?

[@AO-po8kc]

Yeah in Hollywood telling the truth is a bad patch that got Mel so much hate from former waiters, but Weinstein was a righteous guy for the same no talent crowd…

[@jacklaurentius6130]

They slandered him, and still do, because he told the TRUTH.

[@kimberbrown3830]

Talk for him only good he is genius.

[@robino2579]

One of Mel Gibson's greatest movie of all time. We should all not also forget to give credit to all those people involve in the production of this masterpiece.👏👏👏

[@Zerifu]

we need another movie like this.... a true work of art

[@snipercorporation557]

To be honest one of the best movies ever produced waiting for part 2 keep it up

[@ArchieMasterUSA]

When I was watching it, many times I couldn't believe that they are actors, I felt so real like I was in there watching the story happen in front of me!

[@Isoweb1000]

I saw it in theater when it came out. Me and my friends went to the cinema and this one was the only movie that had a few tickets left. We had no knowledge of the movie beforehand. We sat in the front row looking up at this gigantic screen from very close and you couldn't see anything else. It was a stunning and immersive experience. On of the best cinema-experienced ever.

[@manilkumar73]

one of the most well made film... its will always be in my collection

[@aresameliajenalpha9019]

Masterpiece in every aspect

[@me36391]

Absolute, criminally under rated. I always said the genius of the film was the use of the native language. It highlighted something I never thought of before because I know if it was done in English, imo would have lost the impact.

[@fevelynumarco3747]

Wow, how incredible. This is a movie worth viewing over and over again. The raw emotions, everything moves you.

[@ayeverducci]

I remember I walked in to my brothers room when he was watching this when I was about 12 or so, he immediately told me to get out and wait till I’m older to watch this. So that’s what I did and now I’m 23 and just watched it for the first time thinking now was a great time to watch this especially with the eclipse that is coming and I’m much older. And wow what a film. It’s one of those movies you wish you never saw because after the first time you watch it, you just want to go back and watch it again and again without knowing what happens next. Such a phenomenal film, it’s really a masterpiece!

[@SpartanUruk]

I just watched this movie tonight and forgot how good it was, its absolutely insane to think that this movie is now 17 years old! This movie could have easily been made today and it would be oscar worthy, such a unique movie I've never seen or can compare anything quite like it, and the fact they were actually speaking Mayan too is such a nice detail, and the choices of actors were perfect it really makes you forgot they're actors and makes you believe they are actually real Mayans from hundreds of years ago.

[@BigFists2024]

Mayans still exist!! Millions

[@Nasenmann80]

For me one of the best 10 films ever made. A masterpiece. i will never understand why they got no Oscar for makeup and costumes.

[@legniak1]

Because the Oscar’s are a fraud

[@johndoe-fq7ez]

Mel Gibson was basically black listed at this point, that's why.

[@anonymousmflahori]

what are the other 9?

[@dskets]

Can I see your list of ten best , it's in mine too?

[@bistris964]

which the other 9 ? yes this was super

[@crystalarnoldfortune]

This was simply one of the best movies of all time.

[@richardanderson9957]

An achievement unparalleled in its Beauty, drama and action. One of the best films ever and an enduring testament to Gibson’s vision and talent.

[@uriiix5448]

I can’t fathom how much I love this movie I watched it when I was a little kid and did not comprehend it much and now years later I can’t appreciate how much passion and dedication they put into this work of art!!! 🙏❤️❤️❤️

[@nelsonking]

This is literally in my top 5 best movies I've ever watched. I loved this so much.
