Apocalypto (2006) Movie REACTION!!! *FIRST TIME WATCHING*

[@tsogobauggi8721]

19:02 They knew very well what a solar eclipse was, that is how they controlled the people. :)

[@billiebuffalo]

The BTS of Mel Gibson creating the intricate layers of the Mayan society is so good; the outcasts, the laborers, craftsman, all the way up to the high society women who are even looking down on the poorer people around them. It's so well done.

[@orangewarm1]

Mel Gibson blames plague, deforestation and inter-tribe violence on the destruction of the native Amerindians. As opposed to the Christian conquistadors. Read 'A Peoples History of the United States.'

[@shania991]

I totally agree it was beautifuily done

[@cityrat3237]

Stop this was NOT AT ALL well done this is one of the if not the worst depiction of Mayans. 😂

when they pass the falling tree, the little girl prophecies everything "you fear me? you should. all of you who are vile, would you like to know how you will die? the sacred time is here, the blackness of day (eclipse) beware of the man who brings the jaguar (MC got chase by jaguar and bring it to them) behold, he will reborn from mud of earth (after jumping from water fall, MC get sucked into mud and get out of it, and he start fighting back) for the one he takes you to will cancel the sky and scratch out the earth, scratch you out. and end your world. (when it start raining (cancel the sky) the 2 left are chasing MC to the beach and witnessing the arrival of spanish who come to end their world) day will be like night. the man who brings the jaguar will lead you to your end"

[@shania991]

I absolutely love this movie I’ve commented so many times about this film and you’re finally watching it. I personally think this is one of the few movies you can actually call a masterpiece your hooked from start to finish, and jaguar paw had my anxiety shot I NEEDED him to make it back to his wife and kid lol. The best part if the call back to the beginning I loved he used the same trap they use to hunt with.

[@phantom213]

[@SC-gp7kt]

You forgot "Mrs. Soffel" from 1984.

[@lakotagrywlf]

I don’t particularly like Mel Gibson as a person and I abhor his politics, but I have to say I respect his artistry. It’s very important to always remember than all of his “historical” movies are not entirely accurate and heavily fictionalized. But the dude knows how to tell a good story and tell it well!

[@phillipchoate550]

such an underrated movie

[@abrimfulofasha]

You should watch Hacksaw Ridge. Another movie by Mel Gibson and is about private Doss that served in WW2. It's based on a true story, and they couldn't put most of what Doss did on screen due to how it would look unrealistic, but he indeed did more than the human mind and spirit could ever accomplish. All of his accomplishments were never numbered correctly in that war because of how much he did. He then went to serve in the army further. He truly was an angel set on earth. Brilliant movie with superb acting, cinematography and is an emotional roller coaster

[@jamesw7072]

Too bad Private Doss couldn't help heal and tend to the hundreds of thousands massacred by the atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

[@mariela-sanz]

The white stuff's Pure Lime/Limestone. Its intended purpose in this movie is architectural.

[@deedeestardust2535]

I absolutely love this reaction! You either love or hate Mel Gibson but all his movies are a master piece like Braveheart (an this one) beautifully done, terrifying at times; they may not be accurate but that’s his vision, his version, if I wanna know the real story I would watch a documentary on History Channel, this is just entertainment AT ITS BEST.

[@Stac3y__]

Yo, I love this movie! I stumbled on it channel surfing years ago and thought it was kind of odd but kept watching. Didn’t take long to become one of my favourites, such an epic movie!

Ya unfortunetly the eclipse thing was a thing for many cultures taking advantage of such events to thier advantage. Back then who was to say otherwise. Only a few high ups would have known about the moon and sun passing being the case rather then a deitys thirst quench. Or appeasing them.

[@oscar17707]

Human sacrifice in the pre-Columbian world was a religious practice performed in the context of certain cults of the indigenous peoples of America. This practice was prohibited by the Spaniards a few years after their arrival in America. A great diversity of documents and stories are corroborated by abundant archaeological and historical evidence. Archaeology since the 20th century provides clear evidence of its widespread practice in Mesoamerica.

[@cassandramcbride7007]

the movie is brutal, but doesnt rely in guts and gore, to show how brutal is. sure it does have, but is the necessary amount. even some shocking scenes are implied, and not explicit.

Columbus actually never set a foot on the continent itself.

The title refers to the arrival of the Spanish who wiped out and enslaved the indigenous populations with both modern weaponry and disease it's been estimated that European settlers to North and South America were responsible for an estimated 100 million deaths.

Kukulkan was a sun god. The eclipse would be seen as a sign.

[@InstigatorDJ]

The Spanish conquistadors arrive and basically wiped them out.

[@Alejojojo6]

No they didnt. They conquered them and mixed with them. Vast majority are native american or mixed. Look at Peru, Mexico, Guatemala etc. If they had wiped them out, then Latinamerica would look like Argentina, US or Canada today.

[@hylianwolf6]

Nah their history and knowledge is gone, they definitely wiped them out. Actual genocide.

[@klove5765]

Thing about it they had the head count to defend but too many conservative leadership among them which will always lead to division, it's repeated through out history, even northern Europe being conquered by much smaller Rome, conservative will always value customs, traditions and their way of life to a fault, instead of understanding with their neighbors, united we stand divided we fall

[@sobrevalorado]

the Spanish wiped them out? Curious, because 20% of Mexicans or 50% of Guatemalans define themselves as indigenous. When you say Spanish conquistadores, surely you mean the US Army

[@InstigatorDJ]

@@klove5765 So true bro. But they wouldn't have withstood the Spanish regardless of the numbers. Spanish with immune system adaption to common diseases infected locals which they couldnt defend against.

[@MayhapsYes]

35:00 Please don't watch Mel Gibson films and take it as historically accurate (Brave Heart, Apocalypto, The Patriot, etc.), cause it's very inaccurate. Just take it as a reference point if your interested in the history. Take it as a good movie with some historical elements. For example, the classic Mayan civilization collapse was around 900 AD and the first European explorers to the Caribbean was 1490's. That's 600 years apart the film is trying to put together.

[@jakerobinson5978]

If you're interested in a very in depth history of civilization, from when we were apes to now, I would recommend Jared Diamond's book "Guns, Germs, and Steel". It explains why and how Europeans colonized (conquered) the Americas, and why it wasn't the other way around.

[@travisgray8376]

Yeah yeah are U ever gonna watch the passion of the Christ or is that too Christian for U to enjoy...? Everyone loves reacting to Mel Gibson directed films except the passion of the Christ it makes me sick the hypocrisy. Please react to "Passion of The Christ" 2004 please thanks.

Must people don't know history. However, we learn it from an American view. They do it with lots, look at American Black History.

Not sad. Its what it is. You dont say is sad when Germanic tribes conquered Europe or when the Mongols wipe out most of China and Asia.

[@Alejojojo6]

@@xavierharris9065 In Hispanic history, they conquered them as an elite, but most of todays Latin culture is a blend of native and hispanic elements just as much in history is. Look at Europe, a blend of Roman, native cultures, etc same can be said with Japan, native Jomon plus Chinese influences etc... In North America, natives and europeans did not mix nor interracted so today America is completely European culturally with almost nothing native american in their culture.

@@Alejojojo6 what r u talking about? When I say its sad, i meant the lack of basic knowledge is sad.

[@MovieFusion]

If you watched the part of this video after the reaction, I actually spent time researching to learn what exactly was going on at the end (although I had a pretty good idea of what it was, as I said in the video). I’m sorry I don’t know literally every piece of history, but I personally wouldn’t expect anyone to know everything. I also wasn’t homeschooled so idk what you are talking about.

[@cityrat3237]

Now the movie is inaccurate in its depiction of Mayans civilizations as these barbaric blood thirsty uncivilized people. They did have sacrifices but it was not captives. They didn’t want to sacrifice people they views as enemies because they found it offensive to their “god” so they sacrifice royal descendants and people who volunteered either through devotion or because of illness. But it was almost always people who were part of the tribe and of royal blood. That being said it does have some accuracy’s like the ants being used to close wounds that’s real, the Mayans being big on worshipping the sun and moon. Some weapons like the obsidian knifes, etc.

[@tonysoto8949]

This movie is misleading because by the time Hernan Cortes arrived in the Vera Cruz area of Mexico the Mayans we’re no longer an actual civilization, there were only small tribes scattered around southern Mexico along with other smaller tribes like the Tlaxcala , Zapotec, and several others who with the remaining Mayan tribes fought against the existing empire of the Aztecs. The Aztec empire actually we’re the ones who ruled all of Mexico and would capture other tribe members for sacrifice to their Gods Huitzilopochtli, Quetzalcoatl, etc
