Scenes that truly make you feel like you've been put in another time
when i told my mate i'd seen apocalypto he got all excited and said how great it was and i agreed
then he said how cool it was that all throughout the film you think it's modern day mexico and then then 17th century ship appears and you're like oh wow it was set way in the past all along
he thought aztecs were still real and going about their business human sacrificing and shit
he doesn't have learning difficulties or anything i dunno why he thought the movie was set in the present day until he saw the europeans show up but i swear to god this guy has a degree in art history and that's what he thought
Modern Mexico isn't all that different to be fair
I wouldn't know what authentic war looks like, but Saving Private Ryan opening looked and felt pretty real at the theater. Amzing experience.
>art history
It checks out
Based film
What the actual fuck is wrong with your friend. I know you say he doesn't have learning difficulties but are you sure
>was peaking on mushrooms when this scene happens
both terrifying and amazing. good movie.
he's the manager of a pretty big shop, the degree was just as a hobby
i haven't seen him in years but last i heard he has a wife and a kid
i have to assume he either didn't pay attention to the film at all or that there are gigantic holes in his knowledge about the world
Barry Lyndon
She's too goofy to be hot.
He's not too far off
For some reason I just thought of that cartel "Funky Town" execution video. It was pretty kino.
youtube.com
not enough decapitation and child rape to be contemporary
IMO Art History tempered with an actual major is decent, like at least get some Anthropology with that shit but Economics is a lot better.
Flesh and Blood is like that. Set in the Middle Ages, everything is dirty and grimy, the people are tough and superstitious. One of Verhoeven's best films.
he just did it as a hobby in his spare time while working a proper job that paid the mortgage
this was back when you could do a degree in this country for free, although he could've easily afforded whatever a course like that cost
Not only is mexico not THAT much of a shithole, the movie also depicts the Aztecs more like a weird mix of Mayans and other mesoamerican civilizations which existed farther apart in time than most european civilizations.
the chainsaw vid is the king of cartelkino
Most of this film.
The Passion, 1492 scenery/court scenes, many ensemble scenes of Danton, Last of the Mohicans, Topsy Turvy, the sinking scenes of Titanic, the beginning/end of the Last Valley. Honorable mention: The Inquisition scene leadup/establishing shot in the Assassin's Creed the movie was kino
what film is your screenshot from? The Passion?
>art history
>anthropology
yeah if you want to be a SJW cunt those are great majors
say what you like about barry lyndon the interior scenes were immersive as hell
youtube.com
Not him but looks like Last of the Mohicans
I was legitimately weirded out and taken aback by the costuming and appearance of the people in this movie. The Mayan city felt more alien and strange than a lot of these high fantasy/sci-fi worlds we get in today's blockbusters.
Gibson was on a whole other level with his film making.
I just watch really old movies from 1910-1930
watched that on HBO when it came out in the late 80's, happy fapping memories
not that weird, ive heard that americans dont know how the moon works until the age of 25 if at all. also a third believes elvis is alive and over half believe in angels
There are people who don't believe in angels?!
Apocalypto is set during the Mayan collapse. They're not Aztec.
Also how has nobody brought up how awful the ending was. I know Gibson doesn't give a shit about historical accuracy but come on. The movie is set between 700AD-800AD but ends with European ships arriving when in reality that happened in 1492AD. Almost 600 years early. This isn't even his first timeline brainlet moment.
>t. Juan Francisco Manuel Rodriguez Garcia Chimichanga
Stay butthurt, amigo.
Sup, reddit.
Still regurgitating lines from The Newsroom and Ricky Gervais?
Shut the fuck up, idiot.
It is pure conjecture that the movie is set in the timeline you're saying it is.
Prove to me that the movie is set in 700-800 AD without using your head canons as proof.
Pretty good taste here. I would add Amadeus and The last Emperor to the list.
actually a proud white western european
stay american and properly uneducated friendo
>actually a proud white western european
Whatever you say, Achmed.
I just watched Apocalypto again and it didn't fail to completely captivate me

i forgot that cucking is such a big deal in the stinky states, but you got tyrones for that. at least we properly educated our blacks
>but our nigs are da good nigz
Someone's craving the bbc.
muh literal facts of history. You absolute redditors. It GIVES YOU 'another time' more vividly than is even reasonable. USE the fucking tool to imagine now whatever specific specifics your grammar nerd brain is trying to picture regarding some events, be they 700 or 1200 years ago. It lets you see a type of world you have no right to expect to have ever seen.
>Oh but it mix
abandon this pathetic factualism or DIE as a collection of interacting chemicals
thats fucking hilarious. like a reverse ending of Planet of the Apes
>Danton

Elephant Man really gets you in the slummy Victorian england mood
It's set during the Mayan collapse you brainlet.

I know that this is you're first post on 4channel but try not to make it obvious.
>I don't live in a god forsaken land
look around user...
you seem to assume a lot about my country you fat ugly foreigner
yeah i was the one that first mentioned 'cucking' projecting much jij vuile vieze kankerneger
you seem to assume a lot about your own country you fat ugly foreigner
I live here you stupid fat bastard
Put me in the screencap
Actually large Mayan cities like Chichen itza and Mayapan (where they get their name) were still active when the Spanish arrived
This one?
Quick rundown the non-/p/hagots:
This scene feels how it does because it was at the time the only film to film a scene solely with candle light. Virtually impossible to do without specialized technology, back in the day.
If you think about pretty much all films set pre-electricity, especially large interior scenes at night like this banquet, they're all exceptionally well lit and all colors are perceivable, which would not have been the case of an actual candle lit scene, even in a palace or mansion that had hundreds of candles and mirrors. Candles emit a dingy yellow light, distorting colors and aren't that bright.
Kubrick was only able to do this because he grabbed a lens crafted by Zeiss for Nasa, which he jerry rigged onto a film camera.
This 50mm 0.7 lens had an extraordinarily large aperture (even by today's standards) , allowing for a lot more light to enter: think the pupil of the eye, in the dark it widens.
Kubrick's Nasa lens could widen further than any contemporary cine lens of the day.
It's a much more realistic interior night scene than perhaps any other in history, up to that point (but even by today's standards)
so do i you mouthbreathing niggersocket

>dont know how the moon works
how does the moon work?
I genuinely don't understand what you mean
OP here yeah Last of Mohicans like said. Parlay is one of my favorite scenes
Yeah, I'd add Amadeus. I need to rewatch Last Emperor. Haven't seen it in many years though remember the score well.
well then I suppose you're the mouthbreather between us, or you're so full up your own ass that you expect your perspective is identical to everyone else's
The pagan sex party in Andrei Rublev
was he joking?
Thanks. Do you know of any other French Revolution kino? I'm always looking for more, but Danton is still the best I've watched.
Russian Ark
based pasta
when white people still had a backbone
The fact that Europeans turn up should tell you how wrong you are
The wiki page says set in around the year 1502.
another film for mel gibson's christ fetish?
truly a great movie
>Apocalypto is posted
>Bitching about the ships at the end
Every fucking time.
Gibson clearly put them in to foreshadow the Nightmare World that was about to hit the natives which would make everything we just saw seem like a god damn afternoon in the park.

>. Set in the Middle Ages, everything is dirty and grimy,
That might be the case in England which was a dump, but places like Spain, Italy, Germany were actually pretty clean and comfy.Italians in Middle Ages had amazing diet and people back then enjoyed up to 6 months of free leisure time.
watch the commentary to apocalypto, gibson explains where he took liberties with historical accuracy and why. its pretty reasonable.
