Intro : A Great Civilization. Conquered by Gibson.
To bring back a lost era in its originality is a tremendous task and that’s what Mel Gibson has taken on himself in the making of Apocalypto. The Mayan civilization, even though touted for its accomplishments is also well known for the Human sacrifices. The story depicts the struggle of a single tribesman, who has been selected for the sacrifice, to escape from the clutches of the Mayans.
Simplistic storyline, an artful narration, an eye to detail, realistic direction, flawless depiction, tremendous research coupled with a touch of mysticism are some of the plus points of Apocalypto. The story starts with the hunting of a Tapir by the Mesoamerican tribesmen which seems to be a very realistic hunting technique utilized by the meso-american tribes. Not only in the hunting sequence but right from the Mayan customs, tribal customs, the hunting technique of the Jaguar the movie seems to be a well researched one. Kudos to Mel Gibson for bringing out this Masterpiece!
The casting and makeup are awesome giving rise to a new genre of movie-making. Would love to see the making of Apocalypto as to how such wonders are being made into movies.
