It certainly made the point that the natives were just as human -- loving, hateful, vicious, kind, crazy and rational and everything in between -- as the Europeans that staggered off their vomit-encrusted boats and insisted to the locals that they were in India. The natives were certainly not found sitting around campfires singing "Kumbaya". They slaughtered and enslaved each other like everybody else.

Like French, Spanish, Romanian Portuguese and Italian are related to Latin, and you could (in theory) with patience hold a conversation with either and be understood by the other (it's not a 1 for 1 comparison of degree, just an idea representation. Mayan languages stride the thin line between fully fledged languages and dialects). That being said, while they "look" genuine, the costumes are not.

[@coalbucket7229]

Apocalypto is one of the most intense and wrenching movies that you will ever see. I've watched it several times but still continue to spill my popcorn. The ending is superb with the arrival of the Spanish with all that that suggests. Although many of the actors were native Mexican or Indian, Roal Trujillo, the principal bad guy, is actually an American. The multi-talented Trujillo has over thirty years experience as a dancer, choreographer, director and actor. Many years ago there was a show on American TV that explained medical procedures using real doctors. A myth that was debunked on that show was the speed with which a Myan witch doctor (?) could remove a heart while it was still beating. I don't remember the time anymore, but it took a skilled heart surgeon more than several minutes to do it on a surgical practice dummy and he wasn't following standard procedure, if you know what I mean.

[@dee_pendable1]

Such an unexpected treasure. I was like you my first time, knowing absolutely nothing about the plot. The acting and costumes, everything was superbly done. And that ending...whoa!

[@janetmoreno8909]

The Human sacrifices depicted where more that of the Aztec than the Mayans. The Mayans did human sacrifice but on a smaller scale, which is where the movie went wrong. They revered victims as gods, and they were more likely to toss you into a cenote than to carve your heart out. Mayan culture is really interesting if you ever get some time read up on it. Blood sacrifices were not done as sport, blood letting was considered integral to the life of everything. Usually the king and Queen would do a small blood letting from their own body most times for daily needs. These types of bigger sacrifices did not occur on a regular basis, only when things got dire. It was a means to petition their ancestors and the gods for rain, good harvests, and success in warfare. If you think there were brutal to each other the Conquistadors were just a brutal if not more so.

Also, being of indigenous Mesoamerican decent when I saw this movie I knew what was coming for the captured tribesmen because I was raised on those stories and how vicious the Aztec and Mayans were. It is an honest look, although not completely true, of how a stronger tribe makes weaker tribes into slaves. Then how you rooted for Jaguar Paw and his family was fantastic.

I don't understand how you couldn't be a fan of Mel Gibson's films, especially since he's transitioned to directing more than acting. He has a great eye for detail, in bringing historical stories to life, even if they're not all exactly historically accurate, he knows how to emotionally invest you into the characters. I would put Mel in the same class as Clint Eastwood, directorally speaking, although with a smaller filmography. But Clint also has almost 30 years on Mel.

[@davidhasselblad2898]

The Aztecs were a very ruthless empire. And the average Mayan and Aztec was actually higher then the average Spaniard. The average Spanish lifespan back then was about 30 to 40. 45 was pretty old. Crazy to think about. But the Mayans and Aztecs when dying of age "a good life" had usually a lifespan of 60 to 70. Up north with my and own indigenous roots of turtle island "north America, is what us Indigenous know as turtle island." Had life spans around the same. Sometimes both could live to 80 or longer depending on the tribe and the stories.

[@mod850]

Lifespan averages also include infant mortality, so that can skew the numbers a bit. Somewhere around half of infants in premodern societies died before the age of 3. If a person survived to adulthood, they often had lifespans in the 70s and higher.

[@EatPraySmoke]

Native Gang.. Coushatta 🦾

[@davidhasselblad2898]

I mean in ways sure. However many older cultures had very different ways of calculating their infant mortality rate. Greeks especially around sparta didn't keep many of their young. Edo and ming dynasties had similar approaches. It's hard to gauged such men and times by such a loose figment as infant mortality. As all cultures have engaged in such wicked acts of snuffing another nation out. Age in these times were very circumstance. Most folks of this age usually died of disease or killed. The average Spaniard actually wasn't much different. Between sickness and physical combat the south American people stood a better chance at living to an old age.

[@mod850]

@@davidhasselblad2898 I wasn't calculating method of death. Whether it was natural causes or infanticide is not relevant to the statistic. Infanticide was often used if children were born too close together, as one example. It doesn't matter why or how. The fact remains that the infant mortality rate on its own was significantly higher than the adult mortality rate, which draws down the average. Adult individuals rarely died at age 35-40, comparatively speaking. 60-70 was the more common age range for people who reached adulthood. The numbers might be somewhat higher or lower when one looks at averages within specific groups, but overall, it evens out across the species.

If memory serves this movie came out right after Hollywood started snubbing Gibson.

This would have taken place long after the Fall of The Mayan Empire, so the Mayans were in long decline by then, they also caused many ecological problems for themselves-But against common belief, the end of the Mayan Empire didn’t mean the end of the Mayans. The individual cities became their own states-So the Mayans were very much active at the time of Spanish conquest and its ensuing Hell. But as this movie showed, the Mayans made their own Hell, and rained it down on their neighbors too. The Aztecs knew of the Spanish long before they met, because of rumors of the bloody Spanish dealings with the Mayans. I believe the Spanish were called demon soldiers or something by the natives. But the Aztecs themselves were thought nearly demonic by their subject folk too.

As to the others they are pretty petty and hardly what a rational person would call "almost everything".

And a third culture, more powerful than the second that steps in to crush and supplant the second culture and provide a "new beginning" one based on higher moral values than the second culture was guided by.

Thanks for the reaction. I think this is one of the most underrated movies, like... ever! No one does period-piece movies this far back with any perceived accuracy. You know, 16th century. Of course it's Mel Gibson so the family is compromised (Mad Max, Brave Heart, The Patriot, etc.) and the protagonist gets his revenge... "In this life, or the next." (Gladiator, not Mel Gibson but, you know) - Like you were saying, the actors in this are not well known so we don't see them as any other character than what they are. This movie is brutal and graphic and I love it. The little girl with the lesions on her skin, prophesies the eclipse and the coming of the 'Man Jaguar' is chilling and awesome. An interesting look into, perhaps what life might have been like in South America before the Conquistadors arrived with their technology and Christianity. Not explored very often in films. That's why I like this one so much. Fun reaction and I am glad you appreciate it. It deserves more recognition.

Brilliant commentary -- insightful, articulate, and engaging enthusiasm. This is my first time here, but I am impressed.

[@CinesterCharlie]

Mel Gibson is a great director, say what you will.

[@kabirconsiders]

He really is, very underrated

Will !!!

I and Latino and back in the 70s p we saw"Roots"we all cry for the suffering Alex Haley did a beautiful job representing and at this point so did Mel Gibson in Acopolito. The same story told twice

[@Fettman89]

Imagine this movie, but with Predator thrown in the mix, that would be sick.

[@gregorioesparza5778]

As always another great reaction.👍🏼

You should find the book AZTEC by Peter Jennings. It’s a full history of what you just saw but absolutely easy read. It’s so engrossing you just can’t stop reading.

This guy can appreciate a great movie!👍🏾

[@stirgy4312]

Love the reaction! A seminal film for sure.

[@Bryan-m8z]

I'm a native American. Both parents just saying but it's so great to hear you say not to go towards the ships

[@sinsmiley796]

Really enjoying your reactions

[@dermotmcdermott6890]

Some of the historical facts were not completely accurate. But then again what movie is. This movie still contains some of the most haunting imagery on film I've ever seen.

Jaguar Paw was harder to kill than Wolverine! He gets impaled on a javelin and pulls it RIGHT THROUGH HIS BODY and he"s STILL able to kill several Aztecs and escape!

[@julieannesoltero3365]

I just started watching your channel and I love it! By the way my ancestry is Aztecs and that culture was equally brutal and rich

[@kabirconsiders]

Thanks Julie! Welcome to the channel :)

[@rainlee1]

This is so harrowing but jesus its a great film.

[@madmark1957]

The villagers you kept thinking they would run into were tied to another of those poles and walking with them to be sacrificed.

[@asianthor]

One of my top five movies of all time.

[@josua1146]

Another example of Mel Gibson being the greatest filmmaker of all time! Your reaction was a delight, because as a viewer you are immediately much less frustrated at the frustrating parts of the film when the reactor is there in the same mood as you and reacts there as you do.
