The primitive era of loincloths is a thing of the past; now we wear digital loincloths—metaphorically speaking, haha 😂😂, It’s incredible to me to see how far we’ve come—or perhaps regressed—morally, religiously, and naturally in America over just a few centuries of the modern era 🤔🤔. It makes me wonder if we’re truly civilized or not, because we keep acting like savages, haha 😂😂
Apocalypto is a 2006 film that, when I finished watching it, surprised me with Mel Gibson’s direction. Then, when I wrote my review—given its release year—man, studying really took up so much of my life because I didn’t even know this film existed back then during my college days, which drained absolutely all my time 🫠🫠
Fortunately, I’m more up to date on things now, and I’ve even seen that there’s going to be a sequel—and why wouldn’t there be, since this movie has everything it takes to appeal to audiences? I liked the part about the gods, which is why I chose that title for this review; you might like the spectacular action scenes, or maybe everything, because the movie really does have a well-balanced mix of everything 😌😌
La era primitiva llena de taparrabos ha quedando en el pasado, ahora usamos taparrabos digitales metaforicamente hablando jaja 😂😂, me es increible ver lo que hemos avanzado o quizas involucionado moral, religiosa y naturalmente en America durante tan pocos siglos de edad moderna 🤔🤔, me hace pensar si en verdad nosotros somos los civilizados o no porque seguimos actuando como salvajes jaja 😂😂
Apocalypto es un film del 2006 que cuando termine de ver la pelicula me sorprendio por la Direccion de Mel Gibson y luego al hacer su reseña pues su año de estreno, vaya que estudiar me quito mucho tiempo de vida porque ni siquiera supe de la existencia de este film en aquella epoca de mi vida universitaria que dreno absolutamente todo mi tiempo 🫠🫠
Afortunadamente ahora si estoy mas al tanto de las cosas y hasta veo que tendra una segunda parte, como no tenerla si este film tiene de todo con respecto a la ecuacion para gustar a las audiencias se refiere, a mi me gusto la parte de Dioses, por eso el titulo de esta reseña, a ti quiza te agrade la parte espectacular o quiza todo porque es que de verdad el film tiene de todo bien balanceado 😌😌
Seeing that past in the movie—with an ancient civilization as powerful as the Maya—totally blew my mind. I think that if they’d had a few more centuries of development, they might have dominated the planet. It’s not an exaggeration—just look at how the U.S. dominates the planet, and it’s a baby nation in the world we live in, with the Americas having been conquered only very recently.
Piercings and tattoos blow my mind—the tattoos look awesome, haha 😜😜👍🏻. I’m not into getting tattoos on my own body because I don’t like to mistreat my wonderful body, but I admire the designs on other people’s skin, haha 😜😜, although in practice I prefer body paint, which I ultimately think serves the purpose of body art without being permanent. Of course, our ancestors really did like permanent markings, since those designs were a status symbol, just as the film shows—just look at the images I’m sharing; it’s mind-blowing 🤯🤯
The Hollywood formula for commercial success—which is based on family warmth woven into the stories, comic relief, and a plot twist at the end of the narrative—really works well for an ancient story 😎😎👍🏻
This has pleasantly surprised me, since I recently saw a poster for this movie in the community that really caught my attention; just the primitive, geometric image of a pyramid—which I didn’t realize was Mayan—was enough to make me want to watch this movie, and I hope that’s enough for you, too, to give this ambitious film by Mel Gibson a chance—it has every impossible element you can imagine woven into its storyline 🤯🤯
In fact, what I’ll criticize is the sheer number of plot twists, one after another, haha 😂😂
The movie is visually stunning because the actors really look like natives—I felt like I’d traveled back in time… but with models, haha, because they have such enviable physiques 🤣🤣
Mirar en la pelicula ese pasado con una civilizacion ancestral de tanto poder como la Maya me sorprendio totalmente, pienso ellos quizas con algunos siglos mas de desarrollo fuesen dominado el planeta, no es exagerado ya que vean como EEUU domina el planeta y es una nacion bebe en el mundo que vivimos con America hace muy poco recien conquistada
Piercings y tatuajes que me dejan alucinando porque los tatuajes lucen geniales jaja 😜😜👍🏻, no soy de tatuajes en mi cuerpo porque no me agrada maltratar mi maravilloso cuerpo pero admiro los diseños en carne propia de otros jaja 😜😜, aunque en la practica prefiero el Body Paint que a la final considero cumple con el proposito de modelar sin ser permanente, claro esta nuestros ancestros si que les agradaba lo permanente ya que esos dibujos eran status tal cual lo refleja el film, solo vean las imagenes que comparto, es alucinante 🤯🤯
La Formula Hollywoodense del exito comercial la cual se basa en ternura familiar agregada en las historias, alivio comico y plot twist al final de lo que se quiere contar, pues vaya que se adapta muy bien a una historia ancestral 😎😎👍🏻
Esto gratamente me ha sorprendido ya que recientemente vi en la comunidad un poster de esta pelicula que me llamo en extremo la atencion, solo la visual primitiva y geometrica de una piramide que no sabia era Maya, fue suficiente para animarme a ver esta pelicula y espero eso tambien sea suficiente para ti con el proposito de que le des una oportunidad a este ambicioso film de Mel Gibson que tiene todo lo imposible que te puedas imaginar en el desarrollo de su historia 🤯🤯
De hecho lo que criticare es la cantidad de Plot Twists uno tras otro jaja 😂😂
La pelicula es impresionante visualmente porque de verdad lucen como nativos, senti que fui al pasado.... pero uno con modelos jaja porque tienen unos fisicos envidiables 🤣🤣
Aside from the humor in the above—which Mel pulls off very well—the Hollywood formula is evident in two aspects: comic relief. There’s a character who plays this role that I liked; in other words, I did laugh at him, so I thought this part of the formula worked well.
What I didn’t like, though, was the massive number of plot twists—that was even funnier than the comic relief character I just mentioned… The movie really has it all, haha—the only thing missing was King Kong showing up 🤣🤣. There’s a reason Hollywood screenwriters—and Hollywood itself—are what they are in the world: that imagination in writing is something to envy, along with the execution of those ideas 😎😎
In my case, I thought it was over the top, but in your case, it’s highly likely that all the plot twists made a positive impression on you, allowing the story to flow 🙂🙂👍🏻
I want to emphasize that I loved the part focused on Kukulcan, since it shows that they, as a civilization, suffered the very same treatment they inflicted on other tribes—a perspective that, whether accurate or not, certainly has its points worth debating
The point is that, on a global level, I’m glad the presence of this god was portrayed with such terror and aesthetic appeal through a Mayan priest who looks divine, haha. The whole scene is chaotic and mythological—I highly encourage you to watch this very visual story 😎😎
Fuera de lo gracioso en lo anterior, lo cual Mel aplica muy bien, la formula Hollywood se nota en dos aspectos los cuales son el alivio comico, hay un personaje que carga este rol que me agrado, es decir, si que me rei de el por tanto esta parte de la formula la vi bien
Lo que no vi bien fue el masivo numero de Plot Twists, eso fue mas comico que el mismo personaje alivio comico que recien comente..... Es que el Film tiene de todo jaja solo falto que apareciera King Kong 🤣🤣, por algo los guionistas de Hollywood y en si Hollywood es lo que es en el mundo, esa imaginacion al escribir es para envidiar junto con la ejecucion de esas ideas 😎😎
En mi caso me parecio exagerado pero en tu caso es altamente probable te impresione de manera positiva todos los giros argumentales para que la historia pueda fluir 🙂🙂👍🏻
Hago enfasis que a mi me encanto la parte enfocada a Kukulcan ya que indica que ellos sufrieron como civilizacion lo que ellos practicaban con otras tribus, una vision que acertada o no pues tiene sus puntos a debatir
El punto es que me alegra a nivel mumdial la presencia de este Dios se presento con tanto Terror y estetica a traves de un Sacerdote Maya que luce divino jaja, en si toda esa piesta en escena es caotica y mitologica, te invito enormemente a ver esta muy visual historia 😎😎👍🏻
I dedicate each and every one of my posts and videos to my little dog named princess, we called her chiquito, she is no longer with us but from heaven she will see that her existence was valuable and the most beautiful thing that will exist in my heart and soul.
