Absolutely right Seth - it feels like one of those 80s films (like the original Conan the Barbarian) where they just went for it and didn’t water down the story for anybody and the film is all the better for it.
Not really they are all cookie cutters, same basic template, blood and guts only different times in history and countries, Scotland, America, Mexico, Vietnam same shit different day
Except this movie is clearly a subtly disguised Christian propaganda film masquerading as a realistic portrayal of Mayan (Native) culture. Depicting them as blood thirsty savages who were then redeemed by Christianity (not potrayed but clearly implied) is far from the truth. Most of the accounts that popular thought about the natives is based on is by Spanish and other colonial settlers who had major incentives to exaggerate the savagery of these people so that they may then plunder them as an excuse for introducing Christianity and civilization to the "savage pagans"
@avasta. The fact that they were blood thirsty savages is undisputed. What are you talking about? It's painted all over their pyramids. They were doing human sacrifices almost daily and multiple per day. God allowed them to be conquered by a people more wicked than they were. The Roman Catholic Conquestadors. When you start sacrificing and eating human flesh, it's the end of your "civilization." This has happened over and over again throughout history. God always destroys nations that go too far like the Mayans, Inca, Celts, Polynesians, American Indians, ect.

What critics (idiots) said about this masterpiece... "People are curious about this movie because of what might be called extra-textual reasons, because its director is an erratic and charismatic Hollywood figure who would have totally marginalized himself by now if he didn't possess a crude gift for crafting violent pop entertainment."
i literally played this with my younger brother i made him run back to the house and if he made it inside he was safe and would throw these spear martial arts sticks at him like a spear and when i got him it would literally drop him and give real bruises it was thrilling for him and even though he would have massive bruises he would be crying of laughter when he fell and i would charge to give him a few more bruises with a sword like weapon .... it was fun we talk about it all the time now like 13 years later, its fun having a younger brother edit- he ran in a straight line the fool

Always up to watch this movie, so good! The goons in this flick were scary as hell. The fact that they are so ruthless, callous and insidious makes them terrifying.
There are so many scenes in this movie that from the first time I've watched have stuck with me . I truly love this movie and love Jaguar paw and his tribe or community of people . I'm not sure if Mel Gibson meant for Jaguar paw and his people to be Mayans or just their own community outside of the city of the Mayans . I wanted to see how historically accurate this movie was for the most part . I really loved the ending ... I love how jaguar paw was intelligent enough in avoiding the Europeans at the end , after what history has told us was an enormous mass homicide or basically an annihilation of these tribes of indigenous people as we see Columbus come cruising up. The entire civilization of the Mayans and what we seem to know of them is Incredibly interesting . It's great when film makers like Mel Gibson bring certain topics to people attention , like this entire movie . Throughout this movie I couldn't help feel for Jaguar paw .. knowing situations like this have taken place in the world.. although it was way back in the day , doesn't change the fact that it happened . I believe they should teach this history in schools . Let children know what was really brought about the discovery of America and the fact indigenous people were already here well before Columbus . And because these folks were not nearly as armed as Columbus and his crew . They have writings from Columbus of his experience when coming to America and finding people here before him . What sickens me is the writings of Columbus when he speaks about these indigenous people and how they were so nice and willing to give anything they have .. very generous , although the indigenous people didn't have much tho they would insist that you take it if its needed . Columbus writes how kind the indigenous people are to him . And then he writes right below that how easy it would be to take control of these people and have them do whatever it is you want then to do . He basically lets us know he's a piece of garbage that takes advantage of those who are less fortunate than he is and rather build folks up who have less them him he takes advantage of the situation and takes all off these indigenous folks back to Europe with him as slaves . The thought of someone coming to your home and splitting your family apart , horribly treating your family like their rats and nothing more . Columbus didn't write as tho these people were human , he wrote as if the fact that they were not able to defend themselves they were automatically at the will of his mercy . And he showed his true character by revealing his disgusting heart . Anyone who takes advantage of those that are less fortunate than you or on this case an entire race of people who were just living life in peace before Columbus . Yet , I don't know . I just know in 1493 Christopher Columbus stole all he could see . That's the name of a chapter from a book I have about America history lol anyways this movie was wonderful in many ways . I love Jaguar paw and his father's relationship... His father taught jaguar paw well . Anyways great movie , I love it .
Sad that you point this out but society in America is heading the opposite and slavery and hatred will rule once again and I hope the youth realize and educate themselves before it’s too late
@@cjvaye99 white colonialism is still ongoing if you do a bit of research, and is being sorta hidden/ masked as something else. Literally the reason why Europe is so wealthy is because they stole wealth from other regions around the world and subjugated them mainly Africa for their resources, you see beautiful independent countries now like Japan that only exist because they're country was never conquered by europe because of their lack of valuable raw resources on the island. Looking at the grand scheme of it, Europe is basically westernizing the whole world slowly as their homeland grows more powerful, more powerful in wealth and military dominance compared to other world powers today.
Literally everybody learned this in school when we were kids. My school was in a red state as well . Every person saying it’s not taught is a liar that deserves consequences of equal or greater severity of which they are demanding on others
this movie deserved more praise and more attention. the walk through the Mayan kingdom on the way to the temple, seeing all those different types of people and their costumes, it was amazing.
Whenever I watch this I think about those other captives that were just left standing there with their hands tied. I wonder what their next move was. Do you run into the jungle first and then worry about getting untied later, or do you scramble to find a knife and try to cut each other loose first? Trying to cut each other free wouldn't be easy and would take a while and you're bright blue, would only take 1 guy to spot you make sure you don't go anywhere. But running through the jungle with your hands behind your back would not be fun. I think the move is this- you grab whatever knife or sharp object you can find, then run about 100ft into the jungle and try to find a spot out of view behind some big trees, then you take a break and try to cut each other free before you escape to freedom.

when we saw this my buddy was like "thats BS, theres no way they could hit them while they were running side to side and at that distance". I thought that seemed reasonable but then i realized that these were their ONLY weapons. for hundreds (thousands?) of years they evolved with them and were masters at using them. just like a marksman today can do amazing things with their weapons so could they with theirs. Native Americans could put an arrow THROUGH a buffalo with the force they could generate with their bows, all while riding on a horse.
Jaguar Paw doesn't look away until his bro in law gets hit. He's always figuring things out in this movie which is what contributes to him being such a great hero.
@Edward Vincent Laybourn Waller the rituals, especially the temple heart extraction, are accurately portrayed for the most part. From the blue paint, weapons used, and decapitation. It's the other background details that are inaccurate. In this case the running game may have some inaccurate elements, with the captives running (rather than being bound) through a field, perhaps so our protagonist could escape.

The power of Believing against all odds.....told by a real blue prisoner marked by destiny to and make it against all odds
Violent delights have violent ends
The best movie ever made I think
Finally a movie about ancient native American kingdoms.
Rickon Stark should've watched this clip
Hello how are you doing ...?
It would've been Cool and awesome if The Aztec Would keep Talking in their Language so US Native Americans Indigenous Mexícanos could still talk in Nauhtle (The Lost Language)
For all of us Aztec-Mexcia, for all my brothers and sisters.
This how grandpa went to school every morning
This movie is aging fantastically despite inaccuracies. Very good film and very entertaining.
The accuracy jesus
3:24
I’m just thinking
Grab a spear
You can swat stuff out of the way and you have a weapon for the guy at the end
Yeah and you're alone against a gang of fully armed Mayan warriors.
You really think you can go Rambo when you're literally running for your life..
@@watchmeyodel no of course not but it just seems the gang are enjoying the sport more and eventually you’re going to need a plan to get past the fat fuck at the end before the fat fuck at the end is right on top of you
@@sbraypaynt Agreed, the "finisher" is a problem and the spears are a potential way past that
@@intiorozco5063 are they all mayans, or are the villains Aztecs and the victims the mayans? But I do know that mayans also built pyramids. I could see how they would all be mayans.
Watching this when I was 7 was crazy lol
First time I seen this movie I was a child. Truly a fantastic movie.
NOW I KNOW WHAT TO DO FOR THOSE WHO FAIL MY GANG'S INITIATION RITES!!! lol
For if the purge happens for me
They still do this in some parts of Mexico today
Oh yes the cartels be doing all types of weird shit
No they dont😂
You're kidding yourself if you think it hasn't crossed the border already
Luyo anang kahumayan, inyo nang barangay.
Nag tuo mog tinood crisis? Di na tinuod oy!
Wa pa ray mo harvest. Mao nang-
SIBAT NA!
PADUGAY DUGAY KA PAKSIT KA!
Best film ever imo
One of the greatest movies of the 2000's. Aztec meets Naked Prey
Almost was a straight gangsta 🤣
One of my favorite movies hands down , got a bunch of Aztec tattoos. A ngga proud to b🇲🇽
Funny when every Mexican thinks that he is Aztec 😂
@@constantine7715so funny
These were maya!
BEST MOVIE EVER!!
the main protagonist Rudy Youngblood was born here in the U.S and speaks perfect english
hes one of the best in the west!!! siiiiuuuuuuuuu!!! 😎
Ramsey took notes..
Its crazy how the cartel are way more brutal than these guys
They’re not though
@@Austin66411 Absolutely are. Keeping people conscious by making them smoke meth so they don't pass out while they're skinned alive with boxcutters.
Closest depiction of the society we live in that I can think of
when we saw this my buddy was like "thats BS, theres no way they could hit them while they were running side to side and at that distance". I thought that seemed reasonable but then i realized that these were their ONLY weapons. for hundreds (thousands?) of years they evolved with them and were masters at using them. just like a marksman today can do amazing things with their weapons so could they with theirs. Native Americans could put an arrow THROUGH a buffalo with the force they could generate with their bows, all while riding on a horse.
WHO'S ELSE IS HERE AFTER SEEING SQUID GAME?
Me
@Justin right!!! When I saw red light green light ep I automatically thought of this
Crazy to think this actually happened before.
These things could be happening even today.
@@billsykes2977 Indeed.
People were systematically burned in ovens and poisoned in gas chambers by millions just a while ago.
Serbia
Jaguar Paw doesn't look away until his bro in law gets hit. He's always figuring things out in this movie which is what contributes to him being such a great hero.
Man I need to rewatch this movie
Whats even scarier is that this was based on true history-
@Edward Waller it was lmao, and this was just the weakest sht aztecs could do on being sadistic fks
well it’s not always gonna be a 100% accurate
@Edward Vincent Laybourn Waller the rituals, especially the temple heart extraction, are accurately portrayed for the most part. From the blue paint, weapons used, and decapitation. It's the other background details that are inaccurate.
In this case the running game may have some inaccurate elements, with the captives running (rather than being bound) through a field, perhaps so our protagonist could escape.
@@edwardvincentlaybournwalle4991lol they aren't the Aztecs moron. They're the Mayans.
Cool weapon
Back when MUD and STICKS were our best toys i pity todays kids Golden times.😭
governments don't change, technology does
That was a roller coaster
Mel Gibson can direct . That's for sure
This is one of the best movies ever...including actors & directors ❤
