The opposite

It should have been thought of, after all, a movie made by white people. Still watching curiously, it hurts to see.
Mel Gibson doesn't seem to like Maya. (I would rather believe that this is referring to Aztec.) Of course, they have some dislikes. Cannibalism, so the Spanish robbers can take advantage of it? (Note: The robbers here specifically refer to those cruel and inhumane groups of those years.) Perhaps this can also be regarded as an excuse for those who burned, killed, and looted under the banner of God? Of course, civil wars, human sacrifices...Ah, I only blame the earth for being too small. Soon after the film started, that prophetic story tells the reason behind everything: people always want more. Cannibalism is because there are too many people, can't tolerate, can't squeeze, right?
Suddenly think of Lincoln’s famous house theory, then the Civil War, then World War I and World War II, then history and unfinished history, the real world and the unreal world... Oh, war, I hate war! I hate war!
Alas, a great civilization is so easy to turn into ashes under the cross. It may take too long for them to forget the advanced thoughts of their ancestors? So, Bishop Randa set fire to burn all the wisdom of the past; Captain Kautes gave an order to announce the end of all the previous brilliant glory... The history of Central America, the bloody wind, it was just like It was the angel who fell into the devil and was finally driven to hell by God...or other similar plots. So, in this age of whites, they can only allow the victors to make up all kinds of stories-stories told to the whites.
sigh.
I can only hope that the white people accept a little revelation somehow. At least it makes concocting a bit of value, a bit of comforting meaning.

    Mayan Jungle version of the prince escape. Violent, bloody, and curious. In the last 5 minutes, I suddenly saw that the invasion of Western civilization was like a magic stroke, and Leopard Tail came to an end.

    Bloody, cruel, but perhaps a true portrayal of that era
