      Apocalypto--A Film About The Struggle For Survival

      A good film is always powerful. I think this is a good movie. The film mainly expounds the content of the struggle for survival and the theme of "continuation," and when a more powerful factor intervenes in the end, the audience can't help feeling a burst of despair. Does this persistence really work? In retrospect, it's a pity...

      History is the process by which one civilization harvests another

      1 History is the process by which one civilization harvests another. It's a warning, because we, like the protagonists, think that we have passed the crisis and ushered in the dawn of happiness, but in fact, a bigger crisis is waiting...

      For example, the Metaverse that the modern West is now laying out, and the Mars immigration plan, just study the history and make an analogy to the harvest of the world after the opening of the Spanish Age of...

      level of civilization

      Watching this film without any historical background, the most direct feeling is the director's super ability to control the film. Several aspects of self-perception:

      One is the impact of dimensionality reduction. The battle of wits and courage in the original pursuit of the same dimension personnel came to an abrupt end when a team of Spanish warships appeared on the coastline. The feeling at that moment was undoubtedly shocking, showing the...

      Reject superstition, believe in science

      "Apocalypto" really shocked me. This is the first time I've seen a Mayan civilization-themed film. It's curious and cruel and bloody. Mel Gibson is a director who is keen to make movies epic, including his "Braveheart". "The Passion of the Christ" and "Bloody Hacksaw Ridge" are all full of tragic heroism, brutal and bloody scenes, and deep reflections on life and death, religion, and belief. This movie is essentially a revenge story. The Mayan rulers were powerless in the...

    Evaluation action

    As an R-rated film, Mel Gibson used his master skills to show the American audience a rookie actor, English subtitles and primitive violence aesthetics. The film restores the great Mayan civilization from all angles. It organically combines the plot, action, perfect costumes, makeup, and location of these hardware elements. The most commendable thing is Lao Mei’s housekeeping skills, that kind of primitive In the real violent...

    Movie quotes

    • Zero Wolf: [Tree is cut down and almost falls on slaving party without prior warning] Hey, I am walking here!

    • Oracle Girl: [the Prophecy] You fear me? So you should. All you who are vile. Would you like to know how you will die? The sacred time is near. Beware the blackness of day. Beware the man who brings the jaguar. Behold him reborn from mud and earth. For the one he takes you to will cancel the sky, and scratch out the earth. Scratch you out. And end your world. He's with us now. Day will be like night. And the man jaguar will lead you to your end.

    • Zero Wolf: When I catch him, I will peel his skin and have him watch me wear it.
