Intuitive, exciting, terrifying, unfinished

Just turned to the film review written in 16 years.

After watching "Revelation", I deeply feel that this is a movie that tests the knowledge inventory. As I know so little about the Mayan civilization, I am still very shocked. I appreciate the artistic sense of violent aesthetics, but the torn red and white testicles, the splayed body parts, and the heart that was gouged out with blood vessels still made me feel like a tumbling from my stomach; sharp stone knives cut through the hair The raised skin, the pustules left on my face after the plague ravaged, made my scalp tingle... They stimulated my visual senses so clearly, but what brought me back to the real and original scene as if I was physically there, It was the fear that never dissipated in Tiger Claw's eyes. "Fear is a disease, once conquered by it, it creeps into your soul, it has defiled your inner peace". When Tiger Claw learned that the land of the tribe he passed by had been looted, his eyes flashed with surprise, and then turned to fear. Maybe he never thought that his land would be looted like this one day, because he Living here since childhood, his father, his father's father and even more, have always belonged to this land, of course, this land also belongs to them. The fear of the unknown is stronger than the real fear, until he actually experienced being looted, captured, sacrificed, and escaped from the tiger's mouth... Although he finally survived and escaped, I believe that he still remains It was fear. The real fear he had just experienced was something he could never have imagined before, and the gorgeous big ship that flashed in his memory was the haze of fear that lingered on for the rest of his life. The hunt in the jungle after the solar eclipse is the plot that grips my heart the most. In the early days of being captured, they were incapable of resisting, fearful, powerless, and heading for death. But in the jungle, it is up to you to survive or perish, to survive or perish, that is a question. Fear prompted him to run wounded, reluctant to give up day and night. In the early days, I regarded Tiger Claw as a heroic figure, but he was just an ordinary hunter who lived in the jungle for generations by hunting, running or hiding. The skills are all learned by hunting. In the face of the Mayan elite troops, he has no weapons, and it is even more difficult to fight with four hands. It was me who understood his fearful eyes, as if it was me who was running in the forest. When he was running, I felt out of breath; when I hid in the tree, I held my breath; when the black panther appeared behind me, there was a sense of near-death despair. I was even thinking, "Which is more powerful, the fear of death or the pain of losing a child?" Now I know that even if there is a protagonist's halo, it is definitely not as simple as the fear of death and the pain of losing a child. is a civilization. The film begins with a quote from Will Duran, "The decline of a great civilization can only begin within itself." Saw the comments someone said that this It's just a clichéd guy who cheated on his wife and children. After being captured, the protagonist's buffs are fully activated, showing his tenacious willpower and walking skills to finally rescue his wife and children back to the forest. In this way, the plot is well explained, but the director It is not just such a "kitchen story" that is shown to us through the film. Through the fate of a small tribal family, the film witnesses how the Mayan civilization fell. How to interpret Will Duran's "The decline of a civilization can only begin within itself", I think it can be analyzed from two perspectives. From a microscopic point of view, the decay of civilization itself accelerates its decline. As the old man of the tribe said, "I see a hole in that man, as deep as the hunger that will never be filled, so he will grieve and ask for something. He will keep asking until one day the whole world will They say, I've given everything I have to give you." The decline of the Mayan civilization lies in its inexhaustible desire—and the same is true for human beings. Oppressing and mutilating people from various weak and small tribes, capturing men as human sacrifices, and buying and selling female slaves; the spread of diseases; and the relatively backward destructive farming methods of the Maya; The laborers of the middle-aged are all pulled to build altars, but the people who work in the fields are the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled; the people at the bottom are in the heat of the water, while the nobles of the upper class think that natural disasters, diseases, and bad harvests are because they offend the gods. To keep offering sacrifices and killing people... In order to satisfy selfish desires and violate the laws of heaven and earth, you will eventually suffer the consequences and go to death. Macroscopically speaking, the law of nature is nothing more than the replacement of the backward by the advanced. The backward tribal civilization was conquered by the advanced Mayan civilization, and the Stone City, weaving and dyeing, farming, and Mayan nobles' clothing and decorations were astonishingly detailed when they were captured in Maya City. That's it, it is difficult for members of a civilization to look at their own civilization from a place other than their own, let alone change them. For example, in China for thousands of years, it is only the change of dynasties and monarchs, and has never jumped out of the autocratic monarchy. rule. When a civilization more advanced than the Mayan civilization appeared, it was the time when the Mayan civilization declined. The fleet that appears at the end of the film is the beginning of another wave of killings. Tiger Claw's wife asked him, are we going to meet them? Of course you can't go out and die. There is no end to human desires, and the ultimate level of advancement of civilization is unknown. When we destroy backward civilization again and again, we should think that one day, advanced civilization from the universe will drive what we call a "spaceship" and pass through it. Atmosphere, come to us. The story of saving his wife and children back to the forest, told in this way, the plot is well explained, but what the director showed us through the film is not just such a "cliché story".
