Existence is reasonable

On the surface, their cannibalism is driven by greed, selfishness and ignorance.
In fact, everything is reasonable. Is the survival of the fittest? The biological chain restricts one link to another, and lives in harmony? Delusion, if you have the ability, you can try to climb to the top to go to

the beginning of the jungle scene. The expressions of several tribesmen are very interesting and psychologically shocking.


Later, when I returned to the tribe, I started to get rough. Until the solar eclipse, the priest had too strong psychological quality.
From the slaughterhouse to the sacrificial rites, the shots were very simple and crude, bloody for the sake of gore. All of them are hunters of primitive tribes, with piercings on their faces. Can a dead person leave a blood to scare them to death? Scared the audience at most. The Maya City was also poorly photographed, the magnificent architecture was not photographed, and the sense of life in Maya City did not come out. At first I thought it was a mine or a construction site, but later I thought it was a market, and finally discovered that it was the most magnificent place in Maya. Also, the collective madness of the Mayans during the sacrifice was not filmed, and the final shots were too rough and stingy, and did not have the grandeur and exquisiteness of Hollywood movies.
The fat prince laughed at the tribe captive being digging his heart, which is actually the same thing as digging the boar's heart before the captive was captured. To say that the Mayan soldiers were brutal and cruel, they didn't kill the children, and the old people couldn't sell them and let them go. In the final analysis, the cruelty was because of ignorance.

Later, when the escape began, the action scene began, which was not very exciting, but the wife's self-help was also well interspersed. During the hunt, the soldiers continued to recycle arrows, which was much more reasonable than "Ambush on Ten Sides", which had inexhaustible weapons.
Regarding survival, it depends entirely on luck and desire. You see that the protagonist has never admitted to death, so there are courageous plans to escape, but one of the soldiers is afraid that he will take the initiative to kill himself.

At first, my father told his son not to tell others what he saw. Huclaw’s wife also joked that he would kill the barking dog. Huclaw was the only person who was alert. It was true that Jiang Wen’s devil was here, only alert. Only those who plan ahead and guard against consciousness can live longer

The tribe is a political body, the Mayan city is a political body, and the white people are a political body, eroding each other because of their own existence and development. But people often forget that, in a broad sense, all human beings and all living things on the earth are also a political entity. Maybe just like the teachings of the older generations, first take care of the small family, and then take care of everyone. No one is born selflessly dedicated

to the killing of the aborigines, the killing of the Jews, the killing of the heretics, etc. The path that humans have traveled, hope that these can make the most intelligent species on the earth a reference to history, instead of falling into an infinite loop of repeating the same mistakes.
Or the creators bestowed the highest wisdom and desires on mankind for the purpose of allowing them to restrain each other and kill each other, which corresponds to the phrase in the opening of Mel Gibson: "The decline and fall of a great civilization can only begin within itself."
