Thoughts on Apocalypto?

Its a native version of rambo

Just curious, what are these inaccurancies? I'm no historian but I would like to know.

What didn't you get?

it has the Spanish arriving 600 years early

That Native Roma Mestizo bitch gets me hard. I like your kind.

How can it be historically inaccurate if it was never trying to be? Not to mention none of the tribes were assigned historical names so they couldn't possibly be historically inaccurate.

sick kid has smallpox even though smallpox comes from Europe

>Specially the fact that they all speak in the real local/time language
That's forgivable

yes good I've fapped to that little prophecy girl

That par the really wasn't that egregious. It could easily be waved away as something like her coming across Spanish explorers or whatever.

it's supposed to be before Europeans arrive

mixes mayan and aztec rituals from different time periods

>that egregious. It could easily be waved away as something like her coming across
that doesn't make sense, they arrive for the first time at the very end of the movie

have you seen the film?

When I was a junior in high school one of my teachers played it for the class once.

It was an unknown disease.

It's a movie worthy of those lucky dubs, I tell you what

yet another mel gibson wank fantasy he got to waste everyones time and money with

almost as bad as braveheart. almost.

But we see at the end some Spanish conquistadors arriving. The General area and location is not specified, so It's not too far fetched to believe that perhaps these weren't the first, and that the little girl was exposed to other explorers. If anything, it's just foreshadowing for the big reveal at the end.

then why does it look like smallpox

Nice try, Kikestein.

*time/date and area/location

It's never stated what the disease is so it's silly to say it's small pox.

it has the distinctive features of smallpox
if it wasn't supposed to be smallpox, why give her smallpox blisters?

Your teacher played a movie with that much nudity and violence?

Good movie but I couldn't decide whether they were trying to depict the Mayans or Aztecs

I loved it. Really showed how the natives were brutal savages who did not deserve the land they walked upon, we were right to genocide them and take it for ourselves.

What makes you think that was the first time the Spanish arrived? It was just the first time everyone had seen them. Smallpox devastated the entire continent and spread much faster than human explorers.

It was the mayans

yeah but these are the Maya which existed at a time when spain was still under the control of the moors. They didn't meet for another couple hundred years. So the girl couldn't have had small pox and the Spanish shouldn't have arrived. That being said I still really like the movie.

I kind of got that from the collapsing civilization bit

Yeah. We also watched Fight Club in that class. Can't remember much about that movie but it was fairly violent.

great visuals, well paced, and I loved what little dialog was all in the native language. I always recommend it

I thought it was very bold. The cinematography was well done for being shot on video at that time. Overall it was brave but boring.

if it was not supposed to be small pox why did they give the girl the visual symptoms of smallpox?

Was there something to get or was it the movie equivalent of Heathcliff?

Not that user but didn't anthropologists determine there were two massive plagues that hit the native Americans? I swear I leaned about this. One started before European exploration in the North America and spread south into South America where it wiped out the Mayans and then the next was upon Spanish arrival on the mainland in Mexico and it swept up into the North. They say that the sheer population sizes indicated by the different native American tribes burials accross the two continents was tripple that of Europe's before the first epidemic

they shouldn't have arrived at all. this movie is about the Mayans who never encountered the spanish that was the Aztecs

You do know the Mayan civilization was very much still around when the Spaniards arrived in 1511, right?

ending was based

idk whether or not they did but if that's what they were trying to depict in the movie then they did a poor job of it. Because when I saw it, it pretty clearly looked like smallpox. You're also assuming this native plague would had the same symptoms as smallpox

>Mayans who never encountered the Spanish
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_conquest_of_the_Maya
Do you even know what the fuck you're talking about?

I'm talking about the classical Mayan period which collapse in the 8th and 9th century. Which is what this film supposedly depicts. Meaning the spanish wouldn't have shown up

I swear it's the same moron who says it every time this movie comes up, too.

Why do you assume It was the classical period

Believe I lived then.

All you nerd faggots complaining about historical inaccuracies, cinematography and other gay shit can fuck yourselves. The movie is great and doesn't need a microscope like your tiny clicks to figure out, just fucking enjoy it and shutup

my dad really likes it

what rituals?

Pure concentrated Gibson kino.

u mad!

brilliant film

I love how visceral it is.

Brutal, and awesome. Great film

My teacher in high school was literally 9n her last year before she retired after 45 years of teaching. She brought in a substitute and had him play the Terminator.

I love it.
CUTE

Fantastic. The attention to detail was mindblowing. If people hadn't been so caught up in the Gibson hate train at the time it would be more widely appreciated.

I haven't seen it yet but is the moment when they see the ships well done? Seems like the high point of the movie for me, I hope the scene is good.

kino

I don't remember what the disease was supposed to be like but there are like, 30 different "poxing" viruses that can affect humans, including the ones that aren't a herpes strand, so idk

I guess. I mean, it's a pretty short scene. It's not even really talked about till the very very end of the movie. It does convey the feeling of sort of "alien invaders" pretty well. Compared to everything else we see in the movie, the ships and the arriving spaniards seem like flying saucers and ayy lmaos. It's sort of eerie. You get the same feeling that the mayans would seeing the Spaniards. Something so strangely foreign compared to everything else. Except it's more forbidding for the audience because we know history.

So yeah, I guess it was pretty well done

*forboding not forbidding

Brilliant. They don't make films like that anymore

>quibblin bout muh authenticity
You clearly dont get the point of the ending
All that interwarfare and a more advanced and organized challenger appears

Tlactli*

forgot to add, it wasnt really a vicious game in itself, it was just basketball played by smacking the ball with your hips

it was only on special occasions that ritual human sacrifice was involved

Human sacrifice. Aztecs human sacrifice was well documented but there's not a whole lot known about the Mayan version.

It's more of a shame that no one has the balls to make a movie about Cortes.

i saw it in the theatres, i don't think its been topped as far as chasefeel goes

She's not Mestizo. Mestizo means mixed. She's most likely 90+% Native.
