Remember that this movie was well-received but didn't blow anyone away because people just expected good shit from Hollywood back then
Actually it just wasn't marketed because the director had previously exercised his right to freedom of speech.
Nice try Mel, but when you tell your wife she can get raped by a pack of feral rabid n-words, there tend to be consequences
how can a word rape you? even a pack of words can't rape anyone, Black person
What is an N-word
Nonce?
Social justice n-words like you should be painted blue and taken to the top of a pyramid
He said that years after making Apocalypto.
He never said that yet. He said somethings about israelites while drunk.
There's nothing wrong with saying that to and about your wife, he was right. She deserved it too
>n-word
Can we not say Black person now, even in a quote?
holy based. Mel Gibson is my spiritual animal now
Everyone who saw it was blown away. Robert Duvall said it was the best movie he’d seen in 20 years.
*25
didn't blow anyone away? frick you talkin bout it blew muh frickin dick off. those scenes at the temple...sweet baby jeebus that's the kind of epic otherworldy history i want to see on the screen
I watched it recently and it blew me away. it was also bittersweet because of how bad "blockbusters" are now. the last movie I saw in theaters anywhere close in terms of vision and talent was Fury Road
It wasn't a bigger deal because Mel Gibson had been cancelled by Hollywood israelites by then despite it being his last good film of the decade.
They speak Mayan tho.
muh leftists
I saw it in theaters and was blown away. It was literally like nothing I had seen before. Truly a unique and well made movie
i felt like everyone was blown away tho, it watched it with my dad and he cried during it
it's pure cinema. one of the few films that deserves to be seen in theaters. it's still great on your television, but if you get the opportunity to see it played again at a local theater you should definitely go do that
>I'M ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONING
The Aztec were actually meaner than that irl
Besides this and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, what other movies are essentially one long chase scene?
Mad Max: Fury Road
The Beast (1988) sort of.
Predator, alien, honestly a shit ton of movies.
no country
Spielberg's Duel
Uncut Gems
terminator
The Naked Prey which is the direct influence on this
Would Smokey and The Bandit be considered a chase movie or a racing movie?
Dangan Ranna
They were NOT kidding with this movie
700 extras
great BTS too
Today they'd just digitally clone a few dozen of those extras and call it a day.
>a few dozen
You're being generous. Remember, $465M budget.
>0:27
>Goblna in a fancy dress
>Probably thought she could be an actual actress with a human role
>They make her wear a loincloth, bone nosering and cover her in filth
lmao, do you lads think she got to star in a telenovela later in her career?
holy shit those monuments were fricking REAL
this was so awesome
It's sad that movies don't get made like this anymore. I think the costumes really do let the actors get into character. Most of the prosthetics and more dynamic parts of the costumes would be done with CGI now.
That's some incredible CGI, I can't even tell it's not real.
You can see the scaffolding in the background, and Mel won an Oscar for best director and best picture? What a joke.
Its amazing how much the media made people hate a great film before hand without knowing anything about it because the director is based
This is why hollywood is shit
The actor playing the jaguar warrior was great. His costume was also really sick
You get immersed so quickly it's easy to forget how incredible the set and costume work was in the entire movie. Apocalypto is up there with The Abyss for coolest BTS content in movies.
Damn Mel is so fricking awesome, i wish hollywood hadn't cancelled him
remember snyder and his cringe t-shirt "follow me I'm a homosexual" or something?
he wishes he had a promo shot this cool but he only shoots underwear models against green screen
>mogs the abyss set
fricking awesome.
That's good directing too.
Based Mel.
i love Mel so much
Stop making this thread
The screenplay is utter garbage.
agreed
>Literally "oy vey! Shut it down!"
kek
The movie is great, you're just seething
Mel did nothing wrong.
It's just gore porn
This movie makes boomers uncomfortable.
Why?
I still haven't seen it but I am interested in doing so.
Unironically stop whatever you're doing now and go watch it. You will thank me. I don't carr if you're boning your high shcool crush, it still beats that
No I'm watching Star Trek: The Next Generation on disc
Oh alright then. Carry on.
Comfy
You uh, mind if I bone your high school crush while you're busy?
homosexual
Only women watch Star Trek
Let see if he can predict the twist at the ending
it's excellent, very much conan the barbarian-like but with mayas
Is this the one where the brothers have to kill each other or am I thinking of something else?
Say what you want about Mel Gibson, but the son of a b***h knows story structure
mel gibson will go down in history as one of the greatest men who ever lived
He's extremely based. Trad Cath, professional israelite noticer, and a fantastic director to boot.
>Film is about the classical Mayan collapse
>Conquistadors show up at the end
One of the very few moments Mel went full moron.
They were there to establish a new era was about to begin. Basic media literacy.
Are you just parroting something you heard from a weird leftist youbtuber? You can read the primary sources from Cortez’s expedition. Before they met the Aztecs, Cortez and his men landed on the Yucatán where they met Mayans still living in their cities and still sacrificing men on their pyramids. It’s weird, but some morons googled the Mayans and read that their Golden Age was a couple centuries earlier, and promptly concluded that no Mayans were alive in 1500, and so Mel Gibson (whom they already hated for political reasons) was being historically inaccurate.
braveheart was three god damn hours of full moronry
And it was one of the greatest movies ever especially since he was loaned regiments of the Irish and Scottish army to shoot war scenes
three hours of fricking awesome filmmaking.
well on a somewhat side note, smallpox etc actually traveled across the land faster than the conquistadors. Of course they had to at least arrive on the continent to bring it, but any indigenous leaving the first islands where contact was made would have taken diseases back to the main land (or those captured slaves etc). I've read that the conqs would get into cities that had already died from the diseases.
>indios still coping about how a miniscule force conquered their entire "civilization"
Kino
Mesoamerican societies had already been in shambles by the time the Spanish showed up. There are still undiscovered ruins under thickets of jungle that had been abandoned around 800 AD all over the place. Read about the Mesoamerican collapse.
show up at the end
its to show the change in times, new era
Midwit.
>This historical one inaccuracy means mayans didn't sacrifice people
Lmao, leftshitter cope
>https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_conquest_of_the_Maya
Spanish fought Mayan tribes.
Their main base was in cuba
That happened you moron
>Columbus' first contact on the Continental Americas was with Mayan kingdoms
>totally historically accurate
>leftoids basedout because they equate the conquistadors singularly with the Aztec empire due to what they vaguely remember from Mrs. Berry in elementary school
>they circle-jerk each other to the point where this film becomes seen as historically-inaccurate within the mainstream
Why do these people have such unabashed fortitude in expressing their ignorance?
i want to see a movie about all the tribes teaming up on the Aztecs
There were many Mayan rump states that existed in the 1500s after the "civilization collapse" I'll give Mel the benefit of the doubt with thus one.
People hate this because it takes away their big anti white narratives. When Cortez shows up he blends in to the people and sees all the horrors and decided they need to be stopped. Then much later on all the various new Latin American/Mexican governments were formed and a rule of law established.
Everyone prefers the Spanish guys who steal all the gold and thirsty for genocide narrative because the person with power is always bad.
The scene where they first enter the city is Mel at his most Herzog, Kubrik, and Hitchwiener. You will never see a scene like that ever again.
kino of the highest order.
the fact that it didn't sweep every possible award when released, tells how much israelites seethe at the sight of a soul
some homie on twitter was complaining that "erm actually mayan human sacrifices were solemn and humane not a big evil party" can you fricking imagine being that moronic?
Leftists unironically believe PEE OH SEE were all peaceful living gay feminist communists living in queer communes until the White man showed up and taught them how to capitalism and colonialism.
sounds a bit rent free
>were all peaceful living gay feminist communists living in queer communes until the White man showed up and taught them how to capitalism
that's not true?
Well I think calling them savages is offensive...well it could be but seeing as the Mayans are not here Im taking offense for them.
not really. it's not a simple matter of perspective. today foreign "civility" is generally accepted among people all over the world. it's not like we learned social improvements from them, it was the other way around
Vikings were savages too. Have you ever considered that telling brown people that all of their ancestors were gay wusses is insulting? Someone's ancestors being violent lunatics with cool heavy metal aesthetics is much better than saying your ancestor was a pussy whipped carrot munching homosexual.
I like Neil Young singing about how before "cortez the killer" showed up, war was never known and it was one big cuddle party
I love neil young but hes a huge tree hugging homosexual hippy and always has been. Incredible guitar player though
What's even funnier is that mayans themselves documented them but lefties still deny them, fricking weird
>Aztecs build cool multi story racks to display the skulls of their enemies
White liberals: ummm akshually your ancestors were fat genderqueers who were ordered around by annoying fat women and homosexuals
Don’t worry about who I am, I’m in the middle of your shit so what the frick.
goober
How did this suddenly enter the mainstream consciousness? All of the 2010s I barely heard anyone talk about this, now the zoomies love this movie.
Because it was suppressed and tried to get it memory holed, so now teenage jerk off asocial contradictators have discovered pure kino story telling.
I just hope it’s influence is passed off on to a new generation director who wants to make peak kino like Mel.
sets and costumes were superior to his other movies
if even the diagram for the movie is confusing then your movie is a piece of shit
tenet is garbage
talking about op
Primer would fry your braincells.
I watched it high off my mind and it just clicked for me when I realized they were stuck in a never ending limbo and the antagonist just wanted to free his kid and end it all.
I think the final scene of the Spanish arriving was unnecessary
should have been Vikings instead
the vikangz got wiped out by the natives though so it wouldn't be at all threatening
The eclipse being in Mexico was pretty kino.
I'll never forgive the israelites for cancelling him; therefore robbing us of the kino sequel.
Costumes were impressive but that’s about it. Rest of the movie wasn’t anything special.
for me, it's the original
what is it?
rapa nui
this is bluray fricking homosexuals ruined the movie 30 years of no hd version and when it arrives it looks like ass
God this movie is so good. Its use of filters is perfect because they fit the mood of each scene perfectly and add instead of subtract from the film, due to the fact that they are artfully chosen instead of being used to cover up bad effects or boring cinematography.
For anyone who hasn't seen it yet.
First watch: without subtitles
Second watch: with subtitles
You're welcome
This movie has subs? I've seen it like four times and never knew
The only kino in a similar vein that comes remotely close imo is Aguirre but it's too obscure for Cinemaphiletards
>Aguirre
I didn't realize the level of kino I had experienced until it ended
Aguierre aged like shit compared to Apocalypto
There had an autist spamming the board with aqquire everyday for months a year ago.
>obscure
>Herzog + Kinski
kiss your sister my dude
>Ackshually, Mel Gibson made it and therefore I will now become a temporary movie critic instead of focusing on historical accuracies which is the point of this channel, even though I am terrible at it. I will nitpick every little detail because I hate Gibson and if anything is left up to interpretation I will automatically assume the worst. 1/10, Mel Gibson does it again... UGH
I love how the patriot and Braveheart make this homosexual seethe so hard.
Who is he? some breadtuber seething about mel?
Youtuber who makes videos about historical movies and how accurate they are. His dislike of Mel Gibson makes him sperg out hard whenever making a video about one of his movies, kek
Name?
historybuff
>I'm now going to tear History's Vikings apart in part 10 series
>*after part 1 is released*
>Sorry, guys, I'm not doing that anymore, because History Channel contacted me and said that they will let me interview Katheryn Winnick if I stop saying negative things about the show
Did he make the right call? Seems sort of spineless that he can easily be bought.
if he got to smell her farts it was worth it
probably not that far, most likely limited to licking her toes
Wait until you see Passion 2.
What are some movies like Apocalypto, bros? I really need something with similar energy and style. Not necessarily action-packed
See
wtf, why did they agree to that?
kinda scratches the same itch, but I wish it had less spiritual bullshit like the dream sequence with his floating dead injun wife
>kinda scratches the same itch, but I wish it had less spiritual bullshit like the dream sequence with his floating dead injun wife
ok atheist
The Last of the Mohicans
Embrace of the Serpent
>The brutal slaughter between the spaniards and natives
Would you lads watch Apocaly2?
I would watch Apocaly2.
I rather not be reminded of how hispanics came to be
>Spanish show up for literally no reason at the end
Frick off.
Perfect ending for a sequel. Shame we never got one
Pure Gibson Kino.
Mayans even had their own Warwick Davis
I choose to belive this is an incarnation of that demonic midget from Passion.
Lmao guy is frickin lovin it. I'd probably be cheesin just as hard if I got to be an extra and hang around these sets.
>movie portrays ancient white culture with inaccuracies
...
>movies portrays ancient brown culture with inaccuracies
AIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
We already think so little of ancient brown cultures, their reputation can't take much more trashing, whereas ancient white cultures are generally, if begrudgingly, recognized as forming the basis of our current global societies.
That's not true. Everyone knows black women created everything and the white man stole their work.
>what if we did Apocalypto but from le woman's perspective?
Terrence Malick is the only director that can make you time travel on the screen
Hey, anyone got any of those red flowers that make your virility go through the roof? I got a cute girl coming over later and I need some
So many people mention this movie to me all the time. I remember some super Christian kid was telling me how much he liked it. People don't care about gore because it was "realistic".
Heck even my dad was reciting a scene to me last night.
*trump*
No one has the balls to make historical fiction like this in the original languages. This movie is fantastic.
chuds don’t want to talk about how it was one of the earlier films shilling for digital cameras
If Mel Gibson is an irredeemable racist bigot why is he working with all those beaners?
he's exploiting them. you think they got a lot of money for their work?
I think they got paid way more than they were making before the novie
