Revelation is pulling our attention like a trap. Where is the revelation? Is it Tiger Claw's first dream, or the strange language of a little girl on the way to death, or a total solar eclipse before death... .The revelation dragged us to jump into this trap, just like the tapir at the beginning of the film died under the trap, and we died easily in Mel Gibson's gorgeous scenes and dreams of the Mayan era.
The revelation of Tiger Claw is integrity, fortitude, strength, and bravery.
I can only remember the sentence, "This is my forest, I'm not afraid." The
ancestor's philosophy of survival was simple, and so was the thinking. Just to live to live, to be brave and wise to survive. In the end, the tiger's paw, who raced with the black panther, with such eyes, who escaped from the silt and no longer feared, is in stark contrast to the hesitant eyes at the beginning of the film due to fear. Maybe fate wanted to give him unlimited power, and the source of his own power was just a promise like that: "I'll be back!" Love for wife and son, love for father, love for friends, and Love for the forest, for the home. Their simple thinking created such a miraculous revelation, wandering in hatred and survival, from then on, everyone is a black panther god.
Mel Gibson said he just wanted to show integrity and strength.
However, he also mixed the sadness of fate, allowing us to be played by fate at the last moment. Whether it is the dead, the living, the strong, the weak... The final fate and destination are gradually becoming clear with Columbus's landing.
No matter how strong or weak, no matter what way of survival, simple or complex, brave, cowardly, strong, even if it is possessed by a god, the only way to escape is death. Life will always pass away, and fate will inadvertently lead us into the abyss, which may be the abyss of bliss, or it may be hell.
If at the end of the movie, you forget everything, then this is not a movie to watch once...
