Love that movie, Gibson really surprised me here. The first 45 minutes are pretty boring but definitely finish it.

Wait, not colombus, but the Spanish pioneers, meaning this film took place anywhere between the 1490s and 1519.
It's definitely the fucking aztecs.

>Here the Yucatec Maya language is used, with English and other language subtitles (which sometimes refer to the language as Mayan).
>Set in pre-Columbian Yucatan and Guatemala around the year 1511, Apocalypto depicts the journey of a Meso-American tribesman who must escape human sacrifice and rescue his family after the capture and destruction of his village at a time when the Mayan civilization is about to come to an end.
Fucking retards. Jesus Christ, are you b8ing me?

This flim is great but you know the people had beef with it said it was way to violent and racist.
>>72012357
>>72012320
That was one unspecified European conquistador. Probably Cordoba. You fucking mongs. I know it's b8 by this point.
>>72012363

Some people are beyond hope.

Jaguar Paw and the other captives are to be sacrificed on a column-shaped stone to appease the gods and avert a drought, this type of sacrifice was never used in Mayan culture, this was specifically an Aztec practice.
Yes, the bad guys in the film were named as Mayan, however their practices(such as the village raiding and enslavement didn't happen historically. So if anyone got it wrong, its was Based Mel, the setting reflects both Mayan and Aztec culture but never settles directly on one.
>>72012478
Finally a decent answer.
Mel didn't get it wrong, he intentionally did away with historicity for the sake of plot, action and message. And he did film in Yucatan(well, Veracruz). He reproduced the Tikal ziggurats for the film, and certain things(eating the heart of the sacrificed) are Aztec, but Mayans did do ritual sacrifices.
And the plague destroying their lands happened considerably earlier, 9th-10th century. However, the setting was fucking amazingly done, the costumes and visuals top notch and the action is 10/10. I'd say this is the best film of the past 10-15 years.
>>72012478
Stop leaving parentheses open, you brump.
>>72012573
s-sorry senpai
>>72012560
Yeah despite the historical flaws it was a pretty great film, Definitely kino tier, I hope Mel does some more films about forgotten history

Yea, op is a fucking faggot. Hell probably watch the rest of the movie and think it sucks because it didn't deliberately tell him what to think while its themes encompass a world view and relate to the entire history of humanity
the best bit is when the aliens nuke the village from low earth orbit.
>>72011789
This movie is awesome. You're shit posting, and a faggot, if you even remotely dislike it.
