Apocalypto--A Film About The Struggle For Survival

Lottie 2022-07-18 22:05:42

A good film is always powerful. I think this is a good movie. The film mainly expounds the content of the struggle for survival and the theme of "continuation," and when a more powerful factor intervenes in the end, the audience can't help feeling a burst of despair. Does this persistence really work? In retrospect, it's a pity...

Although I applaud Tiger Claw's wonderful performance, I can't let go of the irresistible background of the times. Originally, a relatively fair environment was broken, the small village was burned, and the separation of wives and children was already a tragic event in the world. But in the end, those big ships that came across the ocean, I can't think that they had good intentions. Even more unfair conditions are coming... just look at the two victors chasing the tiger's paw! Wasn't the confusion they felt in front of the big boat the Tiger Claw Tribe experienced not long ago? Why is there such a thing? It happens for whatever reason... even without a hero like Tigerpaw...

    This film is bloody and violent, and it is a movie that is pursued by victory.

Apocalypto quotes

  • Flint Sky: Those people in the forest, what did you see on them?

    Jaguar Paw: I do not understand.

    Flint Sky: Fear. Deep rotting fear. They were infected by it. Did you see? Fear is a sickness. It will crawl into the soul of anyone who engages it. It has tainted your peace already. I did not raise you to see you live with fear. Strike it from your heart. Do not bring it into our village.
