Revelation after revelation.

At the beginning, the part of eating the internal organs and organs of the prey made me nauseous three times. It is probably easier to substitute. The pen and ink focus on describing the civil war of the Mayan civilization tribes, which is extremely bloody and brutal. At first the tribal escapees said they were looking for a "new beginning", but were caught and eventually died while fleeing. Tiger Claw resisted fiercely during the escape process, and defeated the enemy with courage and "wit" (rather, the protagonist's halo = =). In the end, the tentacles of Western civilization finally reached the Maya, and the Spanish colonists killed the jungle. Tiger Claw also said that he was looking for a "new beginning", in fact, this also responded to the original ending. This civilization is doomed to perish.
Of course, this is just a one-way mapping. It is not that resistance will not perish. This backward civilization, immersed in early feudalism and accompanied by slavery, responded to the tide of the times with strong and "ignorant" religious superstition. The beginning of the movie shows that this civilization is about to decline from the inside, and we can reason from this perspective.
Why is "ignorance" in quotation marks? In fact, we presume that such a civilization is barbaric and absurd, a barbarian civilization. The custom of eating raw prey, digging out the hearts of prisoners of war and beheading them, and people still rushing for them, is not disgusting. In order not to leave the possibility of being criticized for "disrespecting cultural diversity", the author uses quotation marks to give it respect. But even if I don't judge this situation on the basis of right or wrong, I would say without hesitation that it is simply unacceptable. It really makes me sick. This is called the clash of civilizations. Moral principles must also come before cultural diversity, whether in terms of my own personal senses or according to a more tolerant view like Appia's Cosmopolitanism. Doing my best to understand and appreciate the other person's feelings doesn't seem to contradict my inability to accept this custom.
In the end, when the Spaniard surfed the island in a sailboat, the Spaniard was holding a cross. This also indicates that they will punish this absurd and barbaric civilization according to the will of God, and they will not feel shameful or inappropriate at all. Because, this is really "barbarian", such a custom is simply "devil's behavior".
