Apocalypto - Making Of (by Mel Gibson - 2006)

[@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

[@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...

I watched this film as a child with my much older cousins. I knew it was something special, 20 years later I still stand by that. Great great piece of cinema.

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.

[@Moon42069]

[@Morrow45105]

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

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)

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!!!

This film is in my top 10 favorite films of all time. There's nothing like it. This is what happens when you have an amazingly talented film maker, using his own budget with ZERO studio interference. a GEM.

[@talitemjenimchen3048]

Movies like this are made only once. Unbelievably worked so hard. It’s a masterpiece.

[@gunachandran2467]

[@Vandan9166]

This isn't just a movie about the past, it's a time machine. A superb work of art. Bravo!

[@StillSoundAmazing]

Just watched this again tonight and convinced my wife to watch it ! She loved it and the only thing better than watching a great movie is watching it again with someone who hasn’t seen it !

[@kmwill123]

I love putting people on this movie and seeing their reactions!

[@bannol1]

Apocalypto is a masterpiece and I was very disappointed Hollywood politics got in the way and deprived Gibson and his team of the recognition they so deserved for this.

[@oskyperez4989]

Easy, because they put the anti-Semite label on him.

[@Laocoon283]

Pretty epic that he did it from outside of the establishment though

[@JerreMuesli]

Hollywood is not a place for movie lovers. It's an Elite club where you need to suck up to get an award

[@Noneedg]

Hope the same team are not just being used lol hope they are rich by now 😂

I love Mel Gibson and all his films he's a very good And talented man I saw the hearts too awesome

[@OpiahDominic]

The effort was worth it. A timeless movie. Masterpiece!!!

[@theWayoftheHero]

This has to be the most ambitious movie ever produced. It's not just a "good movie", it inspires awe. This is the apex of cinema as an art form.

[@zane62135]

This movie scared the crap out me when I first saw it long ago. I remember being absolutely riveted by the intensity and rawness of the story. And it does a great job of bringing you into that world.

[@azen01]

I was thinking the same thing I could not keep my eyes open i always close my eyes and just listened i almost pee on my pans lol

[@sanu.shaikh1234]

hollywood should make this types of movies more and more ❤️

[@BboyCorrosive]

Hollywood walks on eggshells now, so they just churn out bland woke nothing. Dune was cool though.

[@dash4800]

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".

[@nobody617]

And more and more it will be unacceptable to the woke ones to do any movies like this.

[@nobody617]

Thats what i said after gladiator. Wich i went and watched three days straight :)

[@blakeh6250]

I agree, they make to many just 90% action films with weak story lines over and over.

[@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".

[@СветланаКомарова-б1д]

Фильм просто шедевральный!!! Он меня поразил до глубины души!!! Смотрела на одном дыхании. Во время просмотра я напрочь забыла, что это художественный фильм. Откровенно меня и удивил и покорил. Браво всем!!!!!! Аплодирую стоя!!! Меня трудно удивить ,но я до сих пор под большим впечатлением!!!

This is one of the most underrated movies that really needed part 2

[@jamesalexander3530]

Agreed. A second part is demanded for this historical tour de force. It begs to continue the fate of the Mayans following the Spanish invasion.

[@elmuchachoe]

Underrated Yes. In need of a sequel.. Fukk no

[@raystaar]

Astonishing artistic feat. I was transported. One of the most impactful movie experiences of my life.

[@LaPtiteAnglaise]

I think this is one of the most original and best movies I’ve seen. You feel immersed in 1) an historical event 2) a primal hunt and fight for life - it’s just stunning

[@travistemple7526]

This is not a historic event. He literally mixed to separate cultures (Mayans and Aztecs) that were centuries apart

[@papaharris340]

Real professionalism. Never will seen a similar masterpiece like this.

[@MalikaJ-el1kl]

Absolutely amazing. Will never be another like it. Mel Gibson always takes you away mentally and emotionally in his movies. We definitely need more 💎 like this

[@winchells]

A truly magnificent and realistic film by Mel Gibson! The cinematography, costumes and set design, historical perspectives, location and everything coupled with unknown actors that did well. A masterpiece!

[@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.

When a movie transform my plasma-TV into a clear piece of window glass, it's really darn good. But when a movie on top of this, makes me holding my breath while watching in pure awe, then it's absolutely extraordinary. My Goodness, Apocalypto is in a league of its own. Man. Almost lost for words.
