I feel that this film is very inaccurate on its historical account. If I'm not mistaking, the Mayan Empire was extinct long before the Spanish arrived. From what I know, the big cities such as the one shown in the movie were abandoned and when the Spanish arrived they found small rival clans hostile to each other. Even though these clans were Mayan they weren't an empire anymore and they wouldn't have such a sacrifice in a grandiose temple such as that one shown in the movie.
You people getting mad over a movie.. It's an action adventure movie. Jesus. It's visually stunning and has you feeling great afterwards. :D
Unless you're a 'too serious for anything fun or cool' party pooper, then no, it will not have you feeling great. Loosen up, tis just a movie with an attractive Rudy Youngblood.
Look, some crap in the movie is wrong, no biggie. Maybe the Mayans were made to look scary because you (the viewer) are supposed to feel what Jaguar Paw is feeling? Cuz damn I felt it! I watched it on Netflix and lemme tell ya, Mel Gibson knows movies. He's just a little crazy...
i'm glad i didn't contribute money when it first came out..just watched it on netflix...mel gibson made the mayans look not only savage but satanic as well...fuck this guy
My fucking fovorite movie ever!! Just the best movie! But just a mistake! it supposed to be about mayans but the mayans didnt practice sacrifices!!, the aztecs did that! And another big mistake is when they killed the jaguar! the jaguars were very importans to them they couldnt kill jaguares!! so this movie is more about aztecs!! But fuck this! This movie is the big shit! ilove this film!
@realazteck actually some mayan groups did practice sacrafices, im pretty sure when a director makes a movie about a real civilization of our world, hes gonna do alot of research.. and as for the jaguar,, if your being chased through the forest by a jaguar, and you have a knife, im pretty sure your goin to kill it too.lol
Thanks to Gibson, he has painted the Mayans so WRONGFULLY that I have taken interests in understanding how the real Mayans who were known for their excellent Science and Arts were. This movie is as bad as and as wrongfully depicts a real religion as "Indiana Jones and The temple of Doom" does.
Mel has a definite gift for bringing history to life for us to view so we can realise the impact it has had on our lives today. There is so much subject matter that hollywood has not even begun to scratch the surface of, yet they insist on remaking old subject matter films. Mel is a pioneer in the development of films producing this new subject matter. I cant wait to see his next venture! Congrats Mel, you are the man!
Fuck this movie.. its 100% fake.. nothing was like that in history of maya.. there were good nations lived in peace.. the reall SAVAGE and killer where the mother fuckers the spanish christians.. who killed 70 millions of native americans..
The Mayan, like the Aztecs made human sacrifices. They also were imperialistic and conquered many of their neighbors, who they would sacrifice to their gods. Your death toll is off as well. You are using a high number or maximum estimate of all Native Americans in ALL the western hemisphere, whereas the real number is probably much lower. Also the vast majority of Native Americans died because of diseases, like small pox, something that would have happened even if Europeans were pacifist.
I just saw the film first time last night. Safe to say it was one of the most FUCKING AWESOME movies I've seen recently and no I cannot describe my feelings without cursing and capsing. Cameron and Spielberg and all the others who have forgotten the art of action film making, THIS is how you do it! That it was made with mostly unknown first time actors with a language barrier on top just makes it all the more impressive.
Beside Mel Gibson knows what story telling and cinemtography is- i give him that; Passion of Christ, Apocalypto- two visually gripping films. A director who knows that it makes more sense to use an authentic cast . I really loved the fact that he did not choose an english dialogue. That simply does not work for stories like these at all. No overuse of slow-motion . I like special effects which you never realise that they are special effects.
why do we call "great" when theres slavery-built BIG BUILDINGS -"great" is everytime a society gets overpopulated? ( b/c the religious men crush underfoot the grandmothers/mothers power over her clan- & the womens birth control plants in gardens & forests -see saharasia
everytime a society gets overpopulated b/c the religious men crush underfoot the grandmothers/mothers power over her clan- & the womens birth control plants in gardens & forests -see saharasia
Mel Gibson is the greatest director to ever live. His movie are so realistic because he does not sugar anything up he show it like it really is. Watching Mel's movie make you feel like you were there witnessing the event. His movie bring lot of emotion which many movies nowadays lack.
yeah, damn Mel is very creative, even in those movies where he wasn't a director or something similar. And yes as for those weapons people "didn't see before" you can kiss my ass, cuz I've seen such weapons before you.
the mayans and aztecs were some of the greatest civilizations that ever existed.
whats make me sad is that after all he went throught to save his family.... the spaniards had to come and they ruined everything for the mayans and the aztecs.... hate that part of history!
anyway great great film!
wish people could see the good in hispanics not just the bad...
@GreenClover92 Dude did you see what was going on before the Spaniards came? They Spaniards didnt change anything that was going on in latin american when they came.They only did that the Indians were doing to each other...mass slavery
@wiidiwii : It's pathetic that some of the guys like you take history lessons from a pathetic totally fake movie like this. Go and watch the Discovery and National Geographic Channel to understand how the REAL Mayans were.
