Mel Gibson's latest directorial work. The background is the Mayan civilization. In a jungle tribe, the family lives happily, but one day, foreigners suddenly come and kill them all. The male protagonist was caught after hiding his wife and son in a cave. It turned out that the outsiders were the Mayan Empire, which was suffering from a severe drought, so people were arrested and sacrificed everywhere. In order to save his wife and children trapped in the cave, the hero begins a dangerous escape.

The plot is actually quite simple, featuring the Mayan civilization and the Mayan language used throughout the film. The film is indeed thrilling, and some scenes are very bloody, especially the sacrifice of living people...

The film also shows the grandeur of the Mayan civilization, sacrifices, pyramids, various costumes... Is it civilization or barbarism?

At the end of the film, there are Europeans who have just landed. Maybe this is the real source of disaster.

Apocalypto quotes

  • Oracle Girl: [the Prophecy] You fear me? So you should. All you who are vile. Would you like to know how you will die? The sacred time is near. Beware the blackness of day. Beware the man who brings the jaguar. Behold him reborn from mud and earth. For the one he takes you to will cancel the sky, and scratch out the earth. Scratch you out. And end your world. He's with us now. Day will be like night. And the man jaguar will lead you to your end.

  • Zero Wolf: When I catch him, I will peel his skin and have him watch me wear it.
