The movie is none of what you guys are talking about, The movie is about a man who confront many obstical to save the woman he love and his kid,even Mel Gibson and Rudy Younblood (Jaguar) said it you people are having the wrong idea what the movie's about.
The Christians get a bad rep. It's true that many of those Spaniards were not men of god, and greedily exploited as much wealth as they could whilst causing unnecessary destruction. But if Christianity hadn't come, the Aztecs would've continued to savagely attack, capture and sacrifice innocent people. Who knows how long the bloodshed would've continued for had the Spaniards not come.
I'm sorry that is absolutely ridiculous. Tribal savagery and rape have and will always exist. Africa and Mexico's crime problems have nothing to do with Europe, either today or 500 years ago.
@Sambucca So centuries of brutal colonialism had absolutely no effect whatsoever? Not bloody likely. The crime in Mexico and Africa are due to poverty and gross injustice, and those are holdovers from colonialism.
fuck half the comments on the vid are stupid as, no this wasn't about aztecs it was about mayans, yes they did sacrifice victims to the gods thought probly not as much as aztecs, and this movie is fairly historically accurate, except for perhaps the quarry scene
In what are your arguments based? For mayans, being sacrificed was a honor, and the slaves were almost always used for agriculture, and NOT for sacrifice, but well... Hollywood is the food for north-Americans, so keep watching and
believing in Captain America, Spiderman, and Apocalypto.
@Iztacoyotl217 hollywood and real history is somehting that have nothing to do with reality!! like we have learned that it was colombus that discovered america, but he never went so far...
@Iztacoyotl217 thats not what aztecs did who were similar to mayans. Went to war with neighbouring tribes, used weapons seen in the film which are designed to incapacitate a victim so they can be captured, and taken back to be sacrificed to the gods. Reason why their ranks were class on their skills, kills, and most importantly captures
Firstly, the Maya civilization was a very powerful and very organized civilization. They had their ways of Astronomy, ways of Science, ways of Health, and ways of even Algebra, inventors of the number 0.
They had their own religion just as Europeans and Asians had.
They just believed that sacrificing human blood would please the Gods.
actually from what i hear native aztexs were so offended by this movie that they had to hire canadians to do the movie now if thats true then that says a lot about historically accurate this movie is
This film is not racist, it is historically accurate just turns out history is not that kind to some lol. Do your research before you leave a self righteous accusatory comment adrian lest we all be subject to your ignorance.
@ADRIANR2D Wow... People like you with your incredible dumbassness make me laugh my fucking ass off.
This has nothing to do with racism.
Was "Passion of the Christ" racist also? I wouldn't be surprised if you said that. This shows the old culture of the Maya before Europeans came. or at least before the Maya declined.
Maybe you should understand history more than just picking your ass, scratching your head, and watching a turned off TV.
How can you say Mel Gibson is a disaster? And then say he is one of your favorite Filmmakers. He has created a Masterpiece....the first film ever to be done on the Maya. And for those who think its inaccurate or too bloody....too bad you fell for the propaganda of those who despise an Independent Artist who did it all outside the system.
SilentKnowldedg8: It can be said that Mel Gibson is a disaster because he made two gory movies whose messages seem almost pathological. Appocalypto, which seems to insinuate that the Spanish arrived not a moment too soon, and that the Indians had to be saved from their barbaric culture by the benevolent conquistadors, and the Smashin' of the Christ, which ignores Jesus' entire message in favor of several hours of torture scenes and antisemitism.
Seriously, do you have a crush on him or something? The only "conspiracy" exists in Mel Gibson's mind. Most of the mess he's been in recently is the result of his own insane actions, not some "conspiracy."
this movie is bullshit terrible so inaccurate!!! our people were not like this this film makes us look like savages its funny when the movie ends right after those filthy eaurpeans come 2 our land but what did mel gibson 4get 2 show hmmm the SLAUGHTER of our people holocausto!!!
AnahuacRising: Exactly. They didn't show the part right after, when the Spaniards get out of the boat and start killing everyone who doesn't convert to Catholicism and vow allegiance to Charles V.
@NeCacaluXuxultic yeah of course but this american novelist like to act out their ignorance of the subject'.no surprise he meel gibson got anger issues 'today.
@thenewend2012, he even got Braveheart inaccurate. William Wallace never used a Claymore HAHAHAHA. He used a dirk-shield thingy and a broadsword for obvious reasons.
it's truth,spanish built their church over mayan temples in guatemala,i'm from guatemala,maya kiches history,the spanish built guatemala city over maya city,it's call kaminaljuyu, mayakakchikel
I went to Tikal last summer and they were saying how the mexica from the high lands invaded and build over a lot of the temples. The mexica was a later peolpe from that period.
that movie gives the aztec (who were the ones in the cities by the time the spanish showed up if i remember correctly) kind of a bad rap. ok, yes they sacrificed allot of people, but life in their cities wasn't the brutal anarchy its portrayed in this film. the chinese killed millions of their own people in the name of communism, but life for your average chinese citizen is actually quite boring. people do the same with ancient romans. they assume their all heartless bastards.
this movie has nothin to do with Aztecs, this movie is about Mayans. it is historically incorrect because the Spaniards arrived in the Aztec empire first, and the movie shows Spaniards arriving in Mayan land or land that was close to the Mayans. the spaniards went from the Aztec empire to the Mayan civilization by land, not sea.
and it is also incorrect cuz the movie shows the Spaniards arriving while the Mayans were still strong, but civil war had destroyed the Mayan civilization already.
@Toodles213 VERY VERY TRUE.. Good thing someone knows wassup Gibson fucked up.. good portray of what it may have been like but very incorrect historically.
@Toodles213 your rigth doe, people really show how ignrant they are after replying here don't they know about the maya & their eras like the classic ore classic some people have really become simpletons , how they hell they confuse the aztec with they maya'
really stupip man but not you toodles your on point so i respect your opinion peace'
The movie is cool, at least it is already better than other existing movie about Indians... But I'm still confused is it about Mayan or Aztecans...seems they were mixed in the film
they were mayans,plus the mayans were very warlike and and influenced teh aztec trought trade so that why they look alike but in no way they are alike mayans is one of the most ancient civilazation and sophisticated on the world.
it looks like tarsan
