Gibson deserves mad credit for choosing this setting to explore; using real languages; indigenous casting; going all-out on the cinematography. That was fun! You guys are like a comedy team, and you don't even know when you're being funny. Nice one!
@@fernymina8731 "Gibson wanted an indigenous cast for the project, so the filmmakers found people from the Yucatan, Mexico City, Oaxaca, Xalapa, Veracruz and other spots. Two of the cast members are from the United States, three are from Canada and the rest hail from Central America." So pretty much most of them?
@@guts1258 yeah all he had to do was change the mayans to the aztecs and then it would have been historically accurate. The two groups had a similar aesthetic anyway and both lived in the same region give or take a few hundred miles.
Fun fact: the little girl who prophecized their downfall did the scene in ONE take. I'm sure the made her do more than one, but they used the first take. So, it still counts as one. Youngest best actress I ever saw.
From what I heard is that the little girl who prophesied is not an actor. She was there as an "extra" but they needed a child to run those lines.....they picked her and she was "fabulous".
I‘m Venezuelan, the ants being used to close the wounds are real. The jungles of south america have different size of ants and some are HUGE. The animal they killed in the beginning was a tapir not a ant eater :) I love how the enemies aknowledge that the prophecies of the little girl are coming true and that the gods are turning against them, slowly filling them up with fear. „He who darkens the sun“ (eclipse happening as he was about to be sacrificed), „he who brings the jaguar“. Well he literally brought the jaguar. Jaguars were sacred animals for them and you can hear one of them in fear, trying to apologize to their deity for killing one of it‘s son‘s (jaguar). This is a really cool movie and the soundtrack is amazing!
also there was an episode of duel survival where idk if it was cody or joe but they did the exact same thing and it was really cool! it had to be bug leaf cutters tho so they can do the death lock when u rip the body away
Unfortunately, because Gibson's been practically blacklisted in Hollywood, this freaking masterpiece of a film has been overlooked and forgotten. It needs more attention.
Hannah absolutely nailed it on the head; the sacrifices were purely spectacle to manipulate the masses. The Mayans were so advanced that they could actually predict with great accuracy when solar eclipses were to occur so they made sure their sacrificial ceremony coincided with such an event.
@@plmng7294 no, it’s the Mayans, although it does offer a distorted view of their civilization seeing as how the age depicted in the movie ended about 600 years prior to the movie’s setting. I
It's neither, the architecture and culture resembles the Mayans, but the Mayans were long gone before Cortez landed on the beaches of America. The Azteca were the ones who met the Conquistadors. But this is an amalgamation of the two for story purposes.
@@gumy3939 dude, look up the production of this movie. Gibson and the other writer debated on between featuring the Aztecs or Mayans and later settled on the Maya because of their high sophistication and eventual downfall. They then spent time researching Mayan culture and then brought in an expert on the Maya language to serve as an on-set advisor. They also brought in archaeologists and professors who were experts on the Maya and spent time at Maya ruins so they could accurately depict their architecture. Even Jaguar Paw’s wife’s tattoo is Mayan; it’s a horizontal band with two dots above which was the symbol for the number “7”.
The Maya experienced several periods and the civilization persisted for quite a long time after their technological peak, before the full-blown collapse. Those who have studied the Mayans note that construction and upkeep was more sophisticated the *older* it appeared, rather than newer. It is likely that by the end, leaders of the sort being portrayed barely understood what the more advanced ancient Mayans left them, beyond that the calendars predicted celestial movements.
I was in Mexico in 2006 and was looking forward to visiting the pyramid temples where this shit went down for real, all access was denied to area due to there being storms and also a feature film being shot. A mini bus full of people went down to the location to see if we could catch a glimpse of anything and low and behold we see Mel Gibson and everyone went nuts, as it went quiet and he was walking away I screamed FREEDOMMmMm at the top of my voice, he spun round laughing his head off and walked all the way back over right up to us and asked who the heck was that, aye it was me in a put on Scottish accent and he proceeded to shake my hand sign my t shirt and had a chat for a good 15 minutes, he apologised for having the placed closed down for filming and arranged that the following day we would be allowed in after 6pm just as long as no pictures where taken of things that were props and set stuff. The man had the hairiest hands and wrists I’ve ever seen
Nobody hates Mel Gibson.. The dude was black listed because he spoke out about the things happening in Hollywood. That was way back. Really fucking sad that all these years he was getting fucked by fake news etc.
One of the BEST Movies ever made. That final scene, totally flips the table...The Mayans were top dog for a long time, until a bigger badder dog came along....
Did she actually say pirates? Omg that´s hilarious. I mean I would be also ignorant about their country/continennt/culture of course. But it´s still fucking hilarious lmao
You must be american. First of all it's not "the europeans" Europe is not a country or a people, it's a continent of 44 nations ethnicities and cultures. I'm pretty sure those weren't the Bulgarians.
@@FriendlyCroock a lot of people from around the world think Europe is a country and that’s why many say “I’m going to europe “ or “my homeland is europe” but WHICH european country
Except for a couple of them, NONE of these were professional actors, but people Gibson recruited from workplaces. The main character (the actor) was laying roofs when Gibson discoveted him. So an entire cast of non-actors.
@@etme1000 doesn't take long to do a bit of research n know alot of them are American actors alongside Spanish actors. The rest were athletes they needed for the physical work.
Hannah, they are 100% ants, they are a species of Americas Army Ant, the ones with the massive mandibles (jaws) are the soldiers forms, that protect the smaller worker forms.
I watched this when I was 9 by accident. I was looking for my mom at a movie theatre and I walked in right before the first sacrifice, I was TERRIFIED. A lady in front of me was legit sobbing omg I left after that head roll POV. Traumatizing. Also, you guys are so funny unintentionally and intentionally, I was dying. Made for a better experience since this movie still scares me to this day lmfao
I knew this movie since high school (about 20years ago 😂) , my father bought the dvd, and he watched this movie almost every night cause he said it's a masterpiece...
Man my grandpa is from Jalisco Mexico so he’s more closer to Aztec but this takes place in Yucatán. A lot of people don’t realize the rituals these people did. They also were involved in cannibalism and drinking blood. Crazy shit.
I love how throughout the chase you can see the fear slowly creep into the people chasing him. And how it did just what his dad was saying and tainting their heart and minds.
giant ants are used as "stitches" for wounds, due to how big they are, their mandibles ("jaws") are able to clench/pinch together tight enough to hold the sides of the skin of a wound together, and the mandibles remain in a "lock jaw", after you pinch/rip off its body from its head, leaving those giant ants heads "stitching" up the wound, until its healed/repaired up, the ancient "stitches" used by peoples who had the giant ants in their countries
Ash: "He's fisting him!" Hannah: "He's NOT fisting him!" Lol I enjoyed watching your reaction to this incredible film. You both made me laugh and giggle.
5:45 Hannah has the BEST reactions! This is going to be a long & great reaction. When Ash starts her going she looks like she knows what's going to start happening & almost looks panicked 😂
The human sacrifices presented here were not simply a method to control the people. They were also thought to appease the Mayan Gods. As I understand it most archeologists do not fully understand the full meaning of these sacrifices, but never-the-less they did occur. The Mayans were not the only tribe to do this. The Aztecs further north had their own human sacrifices. To the Spanish Conquistadors the Aztec people were seen as depraved!
Not only the Conquistadors but many other South American tribes who had for years been victimized by the Aztecs. They gladly teamed up with the Conquistadors to take down the Aztec empire.
Well, it is implied that the priest and king knew that the solar eclipse was about to occur. And so, they arranged this event to make it look like the gods would "answer" them. I think, with the whole theme of "fear", Mel Gibson was making a statement on civilization - about how rulers always rule via fear, spectacle, and inside knowledge.
@@maaziy_ghaziyIYI Jesus is not considered half man half God, he is considered to be God himself. Its hard to explain in a youtube comment but Jesus is an aspect of the triumvirate, the Father, the Son and the Holy spirit. The idea of Jesus taking on all the sins of mankind and sacrificing himself does reflect Jewish tradition which used to put their local village's sins upon a goat and sacrifice it, its where we get the term "scape goat" from
29:03 Okay, that was genuine comedy. I love how both of you are in total agreement over the fact that you wouldn't get along in a stressful situation and would blame the other.
Blood was considered the food of the Gods, so blood was what we'd consider sacred. Fun fact, the first Europeans who arrived to South America (who they assumed were Gods) were given bowls of blood as an offer of food, when the Europeans looked disgusted they were worried that they'd insulted Gods
Well, the Spanish brought their own religion (Christianity) where the whole religion revolves around the idea of eating the flesh and drinking the blood of their God. So kind of hypocrate to feel disqusted about the practises of the Mezomerican religious practises, eh?
@@blissfull_ignorance8454 ya know, I've never thought of that, combine it with that they're believed white men were Gods who came to take their birthrite, kind of a coincidence isn't it?
@@blissfull_ignorance8454 It's not like it's just wine, and not literal blood, but sure, let's be dishonest and shit on people's religion for no reason other than being a prick.
Being a native american.. Me and my uncles love this movie. Jus a random fact there is a tribe that do a ritual that's close similar to native american involving praying to the sun god
I suppose just to add more clarity to something someone already commented on, the Maya were literally the most advanced astronomers of the ancient world. Nobody rivaled their knowledge of the cosmos until Europeans invented the telescope. However, this knowledge was only held by societal elites. Most common folk were ignorant of it and that ignorance was exploited by the elite like in the way portrayed in this movie. I'll also point out that the Maya at no time in history ever did any kind of mass sacrificial ceremony as depicted in this film. They did practice human sacrifice occasionally, but they only did that with societal elites. They never went out to rural areas to kidnap hunters and farmers for sacrificing. You had to be important otherwise the gods won't value the sacrifice and usually this was the end result of a ceremonial war between different Mayan city states. Whatever leadership was out there representing his city state knew that if he lost the ceremonial war, he was getting sacrificed. It was actually regarded as a great honor. Outside that context, their blood offering rituals didn't require the person to die. The Aztec on the other hand... well that's whole other story let's just say.
The ancient nightsky was a classroom for cultures around the globe the Bortle ( Darkness) Scale was a 9 ( highest) I bet the Galaxies , The Milky Way ,The Constellations , and the different meteor showers -Pleiades , the Aurora Borealis, Shooting Stars and yes even the UFO's were probably spectacular sights. That being said the Chinese Astrologers were just as advanced as the Mayans some of their records of Celestial happenings go back 5000 years .
@@NATIVESUNSETS65 Yeah no. The Chinese had the weakest understanding of the cosmos in the ancient world. The Maya accurately calculated celestial movements to a precision and accuracy that was only achieved by another culture after the telescope was invented. The Maya were even aware that the night sky over a long enough period of time will change whereas every other culture assumed it was eternally static.
@@johanstinson Most of their understanding came from the Mesopotamians who, yes, had a firm understanding of the heavens, but it still wasn't quite as good as the Maya's. The Mesopotamians and by extension the Egyptians (Greeks, Romans, Persians, Arabs and Indians as well) are a close second though.
South America was brutal!! They played a type of game kinda like our football (American). This game was brutal, oh and the losers were all killed. Child scrafices and removing the heart while the person was alive was practiced. These people were some of the most kick ass people in history. Made the Roman's look weak. More than likely what you seeing happened regularly.
No joke, even in the 20th century it wasn’t much different as far as the fear factor. I remember getting my degree we talked about gang violence and when MS-13 first showed up in Denver in the 80s, their brutality terrified the other gangs. The Mexican mafia, Bloods, Crips, Aryan Brotherhood, etc. pretty much saw one head show up on a pike and determined they didn’t want the smoke from the new kids😂
Apocalypto is a Greek word which literally translates to “I unveil”. Jaguar paw unveils the sun, the forces of the jungle, and the European invaders. Most importantly he unveils his true self when he sheds his own fear
indeed. this is why Apocalypse is always framed as The End; because it is, for those at the top of the pyramid. the Mayan empire died, but the people live on to this day. the greatest sin is fear
I remember my parents brought the whole family including little old 4 or 6 year old me to go watch this movie in theaters. Honestly this movie is a classic 😎👍
Awesome, growing up I always thought this film was like universally loved by Mexicans because it was made by Mexicans, it was crazy and super cool finding out it was Mel Gibson behind it. I’m 20 years old and everytime I bring up apocalypto to my fellow Latinos I make sure to bring up the fact that Mel Gibson made it. Apocalypto is huge amongst us lol, it’s like one of the movies we all grew up watching. At least that’s what I’ve noticed here in Los Angeles
In mexico this is sort like a 50/50, some say its a really cool movie and like the action, some other say its a racist movie that tries to portray mexicans as savages and usually use the "historical innacuracies" argument to justify that opinion. Another movie that has this 50/50 split is Sicario (both of them) with the "every mexican must be a narco" trope. I personally think its a great action movie.
It's an extremely historically inaccurate movie. Gibson did a good job at making it a good and thrilling picture but it's not accurate to the period or Mayan people.
@@Mr.Sidenote I actually never saw it, a lot of people around me did though. I seen some clips here and there on TH-cam, it kinda has terrible acting holmes
In addition to "The Patriot" and "Apocalypto" there was another movie I really liked Ash "We Were Soldiers" Mel Gibson also played in this movie as well its a war film.
That ASMR intro has me in TEARS 😭😂 Thrilled you two finally watched this brutal & beautiful MASTERPIECE!!! The animal they chased in the beginning is a Tapir, I believe.
in Africa to this day, the indigenous tribes still use biting ants to close wounds like stitches. the ant's jaws snap together after biting so a person can then pinch the body off the ant and still have it's jaws closing your skin together. they used this in WWII but only bc ppl have been doing it since, well, before this movie's timeline :)
The whole scene with Hannah and the testicles was just incredible. She's so empathetic that if someone else starts gagging she will just absolutely lose it.
Esta basada en la cultura maya del Mexico prehispanico. Todo el idioma que usan es lenguaje maya original. Muy violenta pero realista en cuanto a la historia de Mexico antes de la conquista española. Disfrute mucho su reaccion. Saludos
@@amandarose4469 It's weird because it set in the mayan empire, you can tell for the architecture, the dresses and lenguage, but the human sacrifices are an aztec thing, also the mayan apocalipto happened 400 years before the arrival of europeans.
This movie was totally not about Europeans and you geek over the 5secs of Europeans , go watch pirates of the carabeans if you want to simp over European ships
@@deiselnoe1Jesus Christ, what are you getting triggered for? You have no idea what other comments this person made "geeking out" over anything else. In the context of the setting, where there is no modern technology, it must have been crazy for the main characters to suddenly see ships, and not have any idea what they were. The wife even acknowledged that. It must have been jarring. Also, the ships are symbolic for the fall of this civilization, and a "new beginning" which is what Jaguar alludes to. "The new world" is synonymous with Europeons. So, while it is a tiny part of the movie, the implications are large, because the Mayans do eventually disappear. The Jaguar was also a tiny part of the movie, but the symbolism was meaningful. Would you have gotten upset if someone acknowledged the jaguar, or did the association with Europeans make you mad. You need to chill the f out.
You two are the definition of lightning trapped in a bottle! Another entertainingly amazing reaction! I almost didn’t watch because I haven’t seen this movie, but have come to realize I barely have interest watching anything without the both of you present! Keep them coming! This would be an absolute left turn, but a great action/comedy would be Team America, World Police! It’s non stop greatness, and I would do anything to watch you react to it. It’s made by the guys who created South Park and it’s like nothing you’ve seen before, I personally guarantee that! It’s pretty intense but worth it! Thanks!!🖤♥️
I want to scratch my head at you watching reactions for movies that you've never seen...... Then I realized that I do that too but I do it for TV shows that I don't want to take the time out to watch. Like I've never actually watched a full episode of the boys..... I've just watched like 5 reactors reacting to every episode.
@@natecloe8535 I still doubt about reactors more generally. I am no film buff, but I've seen 80%-90% of the films most react to. You can't be a human and not have seen the majority of these films at some point in your life. The deceit is acknowledged and hand-waved away, but maybe many people simply like the illusion?
I love your interactions together. You're both hilarious. Extra props to Hannah for playing ball and not giving up. You're amazing even when you're gagging.
Such a masterpiece. Was absolutely stunned after watching it the first time. Mel Gibsons director work is incredible. Also what a funny reaction, you are such a sweet duo! :D Als always, loved it so much! "Seven goats, 2 camels... and a grapefruit!" *rofling on the floor* :DDDD
reality was probably more harsh Mayans and Aztecs were brutal, so much that almost every tribe in the region were happy to supply Spanish conquistadores with all the food and information possible to destroy their empires not that it was that hard, their empires were on political ruin already because of the tyrannical ways they had, not to mention the plagues ps. jaguars are the second biggest feline in the world, they have one the strongest bites in the world, absolutely destructive.
What the hell are you talking about Tenochtitlan was bigger than London at the time of it was conquest, the Aztec were at the high of their power but they were not prepare por de conquistadores, it is pretty much like aliens get down on Washington killing people how can you defend against that. Also smallpox was brought here by the Spanish it killed more than half of the Aztec population the Spanish knew this and use it was biological weapon during the war.
I am crying from laughter when Ash did the imitation of the little girl, and the man with no teeth. I love the reaction the two of you have. I always sign on to see what the two of you have next for us fans. My family and I love you two so much!
This movie is crazy. I'm native American from Southern America, Northern Mexico. My tribes headquarters are in Arizona. I couldn't imagine having to live like that back then but I respect the hell out of them.
It was way beyond brutal the Aztecs were offering sacrifices and burning Blood as an oblation to a " Winged Serpent " quetzalcoatl .The Mayans were doing the same for Kukulkan - Their serpent god and his lesser gods of the underworld. There's a connection between the civilizations around the world who worship Serpent and Dragon gods and it's very brutal indeed.
@@jovany69 Wow in this age of technology where knowledge and truth is as simple as typing some words into a keyboard your statement comes off as sophomoric. Are you comparing the Tenets of Christianity to the Pagan sacrifice rituals of the Aztecs and Mayans ? Really ? All the civilizations who worshiped Serpents and Dragons have been eliminated for a reason . Use the technology at your finger tips to find the answer why . It's that simple .
Nice reaction! The first minutes I laughed out loud 🤣 Another good Mel Gibson movie is "We were soldiers". The story is about the war in Vietnam. Greetings from Germany! 🤗
@@justtrustash 48:05 That never happend, the spaniards they mixtured with the natives, something that english did not. There was no slavery, I recomend to Read the Book of The Black Legend in England of Williams Maltby.
"They're not well," 😂 perfect reaction from Hannah to the utter madness in that city. This is a brilliant film. I bet you two would really enjoy watching Terence Malik's "The New World." It's a beautiful film about early colonial North America, framed around the character of Pocahontas, starring Colin Farrell as John Smith, and Clive Owen as Sir Walter Raleigh. The cinematography and the audio are very atmospheric, and fully immerse you into the time and place. Keep up the good work guys, and keep having fun!
I was so excited for this reaction because I am from Guatemala and Mayan descendant. Mayans occupied Guatemala in central America. They expanded to the south into El Salvador and north into Mexico. That intro was hilarious😂😂😂😂. I loved it! #Hash
Those were not simply Europeans those were Spanish Conquestadors, they will make the Aztec and Mayans seem like cuddly friendly tribesmen. The Spanish are even burning other Christians alive at this time in Europe. It's about to be a showdown of monsters vs monsters.... but the Conquestadors have steel, gunpowder, and horses.
@@waldorfmcvitty4854 Maybe God was on their side. Maybe seeing the downright demonic human sacrifice rituals of the Aztec and Maya and how they sewed evil and tyranny on the other tribes around them, he made a monster in Europe up to the task of taking them on.....after they were destroyed Spain promptly lost it's fleet in storms and fell off the history making country list.....it was if their rise to power was totally designed for conquoring latin American countries being a bigger bullly then even their bullies, and making them Christian. I do beleive God useses everyone, and designs the cure for the poison. Let's not pretend the Aztec and Maya were not abslute monsters preying on every other group/tribe of people they came across though.

This is considered one of the most immersive movie of all times. It is not historical accurate anyway, but at least is not a documentary. And don't worry about mayans (aztecs really) for the arrival of europeans. Spanish did not behave worse with them than they with their neighbours. Most of them finally died by sickness that spanish brought from europe.
The Little girl ( Curadora ) who told them the prophecy of Jaguar Paw had Smallpox , so the europeans had already made contact. The Spaniards they see at the end is Not Cortes .
Great reaction as always. Hannah is awesome and so funny. If you are enjoying the Mel Gibson movies check out Passion of the Christ. Beautifully filmed, brutal, and will have Ash biting his fists to the bone. Look forward to the next reaction 👍
Hey Ash, if you haven’t seen it I’d HIGHLY recommend The Void (2016) it’s a cosmic horror/monster movie with about 98% practical effects (besides a single green screen moment that was needed) that were done by a team that were mentored by the same effects team that worked on The Thing
This movie is MADLY underrated. It's unbelievably good. The acting, the script, score, make-up, cinematography, direction - everything. It's a classic.
Yea because the Aztecs won!!! The mexica aka Aztecs defeated the Spaniards!!! It was easy to write a book in a different language and only the rich Spanish could read them comic books 📚!!! You dnt see millions of white Europeans in Mexico lol just dark skinned black haired indigenous ppl !! If the Spaniards won where is the fkg king at Ahahahahah the Spaniards didn’t defeat the mapuche the chichimecas the yaqui the mexica the apache’ or the other tribes plus there’s millions of Mayans still here !!! Only racist simps believe in white supremacy!! USA teaches evolution lol and so you believe lol you dnt question anything like a simp !! A future never stolen Ahahahahah is a will deserved future indeed
La pelicula fue basada en los mayas no en los aztecas. Y no conquistaron porque aun existen tradiciones ancestrales que se niegan a morir por el contrario la religion impuesta cada vez se ve mas deteriorada y volvemos a nuestras raices indigenas y prehispanicas
Jesus......Christ. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that opening. I've NEVER laughed that hard at a reaction video ever. Not for any comedy movie, fail video, comedian, or song reaction. Shit......I'm sure I've only laughed that hard a handful of times in my life. It just hit my funny bone perfectly today. FANTASTIC JOB!! Also, This movie was so unexpectedly good. I knew I would like it because I'm a big Gibson fan. I didn't know that I would love it. I think It showcases his storytelling ability that He is also the guy that directed the Passion of the Christ.
Mel Gibson is a great director. The movie is historically inaccurate but the effort they put in this production, the attention to the details, the magnificence of the sets, etc, etc, is insane.
When you said: Europeans! I had goosebumps. Cool movie, I remember watching it for the first time and was stunned by the ending. No matter how advanced you think you are, there is a civilization even more advanced. Thus began the Apocalypse for them. Thanks for reaction and emotion; don't fotget, that you have the sword of the Kings behind you. ;)
What do you mean more advanced😂 the only reason why the Spanish were able to conquer was the smallpox they brought more than 90% of the population died from it
@@co3tzx375 the reason the spanish could even reach them to bring the small pox, is that they were more advanced technologically. morally it's pick your poison i guess
To give you a bit of info, Jaguars are one of the most OP cats on earth. They can climb trees like a leopard, swim better than a tiger and have a stronger bite force than a lion. They're basically hell cats.
Well if Im not mistaken these are AZtecs in central Mexico from 14th to 16th century , Mayans are a much older (about 2000 years) civilization which was already long gone by the time Europeans rediscovered Americas. Also this Human Sacrifice thing is more a AZTEC thing. Remember this is 14th -16th centuries and this type of Sacrifice in mass scale was Somewhat unique. I am Sri Lankan Sinhalese..., and in our culture also there was savage punishments (32 ways of torture) up until 1815 before brits abolished the old legal system. But even though all that almost demonic torture...was all for Criminals and public enemies...not for normal folk... With Aztecs it was all about pleasing the GODs by sacrificing friend and foe alike..(if it came it it)..they even sacrificed Europeans mate....And this is the same culture now Mexican Gangs/Cartels like AZTECO follow...unfortunately.
The peak of the Mayan civilization was gone by the time of the Spanish conquistadors, but they weren't long gone. The Mayans had the longest resistance to the Spanish than any other native civilization.
I’m Mexicano and the brutal cartel violence didn’t start till 2006 when Calderon sent the military after the cartels. It has nothing to do our ancestors.

@@BigFists2024 Spaniards certainly did defeat much of central and South America, with the help of native allies. Mexicans (Mestizo) are on average 40-45% European ancestry, mostly Spanish. And Mexicans (their indigenous portion) are mostly NOT Aztec.

Great reaction. I am one of those who recommended this movie several times - glad you took the recommendation! However, if I may: you showed too little of the second part, when he is in his forrest - and especially the parts with his wife - who was EQUALLY the hero of this movie - just... differently! In fact, she is one of the most powerful female characters I have seen on film. This movie has two, parallel hero tales: - one outside, kinetic, in the world - the male - and one at the heart / hearth of the family - the female ...and the heroism of both is needed in order for them to survive, in the end, as a family. For another powerful and unique movie I would recommend Signs, an M Night Shyamalan - Mel Gibson collaboration.
One of my fav movies. In the end, the Spaniards arriving in ships are the end of the Aztec empire and some say Mayans in Mexico. Their is still a small number of indigenous people in the mountains of Chiapas Mexico still fighting for their land from the mex gov and cartel power. that is why most Mexica people speak Spanish and not Nahuatl (native mayan language).
Saddess bit of context for you guys, sorry for this, this movie is about the classic Mayan collapse, which historically took place almost place nearly 600 years before the Europeans arrived in the new world. Would of been the case if this movie was about the aztecs but sadly its impossible to have Europeans there as Spain was still a caliphate at the time 😔 still a good movie
This might be the best reaction of all time. But don't try to outdo it. You might feel temptation to start faking it. Whatever you two do, keep it real. But yeah bru you do talk over her a little bit once on a while, not always though.
@@mustafafh4402 Maybe so, but they weren't talking about that, whereas they WERE talking about HIM talking over HER. So YOU'RE the one who needs to let them have their peace, because if they're talking about it, then they want us talking about it too. So go away.
Hey guys! Another epic reaction. You guys are awesome. That picture of Hannah in the thumbnail is hilarious. 😄 Congrats on your new setup. Keep the reactions coming!
You two are hilarious! I almost peed during the first two minutes with Ash's face. This is one of my top 5 movies! 1-That animal was a Tapir, cousin of the pig.

Oiiii I swear she farted three times in this reaction mine are deadly and she would gag way worse than she did in this reaction 😂 mad love to you mate, thank you for watching ❤️
The plague was because the europeans arrived on the continent: it's attested the illness traveled faster than the Spanish themselves. So most of the time, when they arrived, the population had already been ravaged. The people in the old world (Afro-Eurasia), Spanish people included, were the descendants of those who survived those diseases, being gradually exposed generation after generation. The people in the new world had no such immunity, so it was kind of unavoidable that any prolonged contact would bring those diseases sooner or later. Being suddenly exposed to such deadly diseases, nowadays it's estimated that 70-80% of the population of the continent died.

Extraordinary historical epic filmmaking by Mel Gibson! Very few people can speak the Mayan dialect today and these Native non-actors and actors gave us splendid performances! Bravo!!!
Basically the Mayans sacrificed humans for the “sun God” and they believed the eclipse was a sign that it was satisfied, however it’s known that the higher ups knew about the eclipse being a natural phenomenon and used it to control the people
Something that always blows my mind is that I always think of this as being in ancient times yet Oxford University was founded 500 years before this and Cambridge about 300 years before. Not sure why but that just blows me away
This movie is an absolute stunner and very underappreciated. The animal in the first scene is a Tapir. Related to the pig family. I'm thinking she will not do well later in the movie.
Gibson deserves mad credit for choosing this setting to explore; using real languages; indigenous casting; going all-out on the cinematography. That was fun! You guys are like a comedy team, and you don't even know when you're being funny. Nice one!
This movie is mad inaccurate. Wouldn't give him any credit on that front.
@@fernymina8731 "Gibson wanted an indigenous cast for the project, so the filmmakers found people from the Yucatan, Mexico City, Oaxaca, Xalapa, Veracruz and other spots. Two of the cast members are from the United States, three are from Canada and the rest hail from Central America."
So pretty much most of them?
@@guts1258 yeah all he had to do was change the mayans to the aztecs and then it would have been historically accurate. The two groups had a similar aesthetic anyway and both lived in the same region give or take a few hundred miles.
@@guts1258 You must be a history major
Fun fact: Jaguars are considered the most lethal of all the large cats
Fun fact: the little girl who prophecized their downfall did the scene in ONE take. I'm sure the made her do more than one, but they used the first take. So, it still counts as one. Youngest best actress I ever saw.
It looks like she would been trying that part for months to make that part... she must been high on lsd or mushrooms🍄🍄
Fun fact: I watched this movie on shrooms. Commence the worst trip ever.
From what I heard is that the little girl who prophesied is not an actor. She was there as an "extra" but they needed a child to run those lines.....they picked her and she was "fabulous".
Fun fact: she also plays the mummy in the new 'the mummy' movie
"That still only counts as one!"
I‘m Venezuelan, the ants being used to close the wounds are real. The jungles of south america have different size of ants and some are HUGE. The animal they killed in the beginning was a tapir not a ant eater :)
I love how the enemies aknowledge that the prophecies of the little girl are coming true and that the gods are turning against them, slowly filling them up with fear. „He who darkens the sun“ (eclipse happening as he was about to be sacrificed), „he who brings the jaguar“. Well he literally brought the jaguar. Jaguars were sacred animals for them and you can hear one of them in fear, trying to apologize to their deity for killing one of it‘s son‘s (jaguar). This is a really cool movie and the soundtrack is amazing!
also there was an episode of duel survival where idk if it was cody or joe but they did the exact same thing and it was really cool! it had to be bug leaf cutters tho so they can do the death lock when u rip the body away
Yeah, my class and I went to Florianipolis for last year's vacation and the ants in Brazil were super big.
My dad told me that using the ants was often better than stitches.

Unfortunately, because Gibson's been practically blacklisted in Hollywood, this freaking masterpiece of a film has been overlooked and forgotten. It needs more attention.
indeed, a rather unfortunate case of 'in vino veritas'
unfortunate is a wild statement to make over what he did lmao

Being blacklisted by Hollywood is a badge of honor tbh.
@@tarael86 ❤
Hannah absolutely nailed it on the head; the sacrifices were purely spectacle to manipulate the masses. The Mayans were so advanced that they could actually predict with great accuracy when solar eclipses were to occur so they made sure their sacrificial ceremony coincided with such an event.
These weren't the Mayas. They are the Aztecs. Far less sophisticated.
@@plmng7294 no, it’s the Mayans, although it does offer a distorted view of their civilization seeing as how the age depicted in the movie ended about 600 years prior to the movie’s setting. I
It's neither, the architecture and culture resembles the Mayans, but the Mayans were long gone before Cortez landed on the beaches of America.
The Azteca were the ones who met the Conquistadors.
But this is an amalgamation of the two for story purposes.
@@gumy3939 dude, look up the production of this movie. Gibson and the other writer debated on between featuring the Aztecs or Mayans and later settled on the Maya because of their high sophistication and eventual downfall. They then spent time researching Mayan culture and then brought in an expert on the Maya language to serve as an on-set advisor. They also brought in archaeologists and professors who were experts on the Maya and spent time at Maya ruins so they could accurately depict their architecture. Even Jaguar Paw’s wife’s tattoo is Mayan; it’s a horizontal band with two dots above which was the symbol for the number “7”.
The Maya experienced several periods and the civilization persisted for quite a long time after their technological peak, before the full-blown collapse. Those who have studied the Mayans note that construction and upkeep was more sophisticated the *older* it appeared, rather than newer. It is likely that by the end, leaders of the sort being portrayed barely understood what the more advanced ancient Mayans left them, beyond that the calendars predicted celestial movements.
I was in Mexico in 2006 and was looking forward to visiting the pyramid temples where this shit went down for real, all access was denied to area due to there being storms and also a feature film being shot. A mini bus full of people went down to the location to see if we could catch a glimpse of anything and low and behold we see Mel Gibson and everyone went nuts, as it went quiet and he was walking away I screamed FREEDOMMmMm at the top of my voice, he spun round laughing his head off and walked all the way back over right up to us and asked who the heck was that, aye it was me in a put on Scottish accent and he proceeded to shake my hand sign my t shirt and had a chat for a good 15 minutes, he apologised for having the placed closed down for filming and arranged that the following day we would be allowed in after 6pm just as long as no pictures where taken of things that were props and set stuff. The man had the hairiest hands and wrists I’ve ever seen
how cool!! 😁

This continues to show how Gibson is great as a director. A lot of these actors were unknowns and they’re phenomenal.
Pretty sure they were real indigenous peoples, not actors.
@@XxAverageJoexX no, the one bad guy, who’s son was killed near the end, has been in stuff. Others have too.
Except for a couple of them, NONE of these were professional actors, but people Gibson recruited from workplaces. The main character (the actor) was laying roofs when Gibson discoveted him. So an entire cast of non-actors.
@@etme1000 doesn't take long to do a bit of research n know alot of them are American actors alongside Spanish actors. The rest were athletes they needed for the physical work.
Mel really is underrated as a director. Hacksaw Ridge was fantastic and I really am looking forward to his new movie.
Hannah, they are 100% ants, they are a species of Americas Army Ant, the ones with the massive mandibles (jaws) are the soldiers forms, that protect the smaller worker forms.
I watched this when I was 9 by accident. I was looking for my mom at a movie theatre and I walked in right before the first sacrifice, I was TERRIFIED. A lady in front of me was legit sobbing omg I left after that head roll POV. Traumatizing.
Also, you guys are so funny unintentionally and intentionally, I was dying. Made for a better experience since this movie still scares me to this day lmfao
Hahaha I would’ve never slept as a kid 😂 you’re s legend, thank you Elle for your beautiful comment 😊

7 goats, 2 camels…and a grapefruit. Bruh you just made my day with that. It cracked me up 😂
Hahaha yessssss to this!!
Man my grandpa is from Jalisco Mexico so he’s more closer to Aztec but this takes place in Yucatán. A lot of people don’t realize the rituals these people did. They also were involved in cannibalism and drinking blood. Crazy shit.
I love how throughout the chase you can see the fear slowly creep into the people chasing him. And how it did just what his dad was saying and tainting their heart and minds.
giant ants are used as "stitches" for wounds, due to how big they are, their mandibles ("jaws") are able to clench/pinch together tight enough to hold the sides of the skin of a wound together, and the mandibles remain in a "lock jaw", after you pinch/rip off its body from its head, leaving those giant ants heads "stitching" up the wound, until its healed/repaired up, the ancient "stitches" used by peoples who had the giant ants in their countries

The human sacrifices presented here were not simply a method to control the people. They were also thought to appease the Mayan Gods. As I understand it most archeologists do not fully understand the full meaning of these sacrifices, but never-the-less they did occur. The Mayans were not the only tribe to do this. The Aztecs further north had their own human sacrifices. To the Spanish Conquistadors the Aztec people were seen as depraved!
Not only the Conquistadors but many other South American tribes who had for years been victimized by the Aztecs. They gladly teamed up with the Conquistadors to take down the Aztec empire.
Well, it is implied that the priest and king knew that the solar eclipse was about to occur. And so, they arranged this event to make it look like the gods would "answer" them. I think, with the whole theme of "fear", Mel Gibson was making a statement on civilization - about how rulers always rule via fear, spectacle, and inside knowledge.
@@maaziy_ghaziyIYI Jesus is not considered half man half God, he is considered to be God himself.
Its hard to explain in a youtube comment but Jesus is an aspect of the triumvirate, the Father, the Son and the Holy spirit.
The idea of Jesus taking on all the sins of mankind and sacrificing himself does reflect Jewish tradition which used to put their local village's sins upon a goat and sacrifice it, its where we get the term "scape goat" from
The maya didn't sacrifice like the mexica
@@maaziy_ghaziyIYI they recently found a bunch of kids sacrificed in South America from antiquity.
29:03 Okay, that was genuine comedy. I love how both of you are in total agreement over the fact that you wouldn't get along in a stressful situation and would blame the other.
😂😂 “If YOU weren’t such a deep sleeper!” Comedy gold right there
Hannah: Is there an Apocalypto 2? Yeah. You are living it.
i literally just said the same thing to myself 😂
Blood was considered the food of the Gods, so blood was what we'd consider sacred.
Fun fact, the first Europeans who arrived to South America (who they assumed were Gods) were given bowls of blood as an offer of food, when the Europeans looked disgusted they were worried that they'd insulted Gods
Moral of the story: when offered a bowl of blood, just drink it. Don't insult your hosts.
Well, the Spanish brought their own religion (Christianity) where the whole religion revolves around the idea of eating the flesh and drinking the blood of their God. So kind of hypocrate to feel disqusted about the practises of the Mezomerican religious practises, eh?
@@blissfull_ignorance8454 Christians aren't known for their acceptance of other cultures tho tbf 😂
@@blissfull_ignorance8454 ya know, I've never thought of that, combine it with that they're believed white men were Gods who came to take their birthrite, kind of a coincidence isn't it?

Being a native american.. Me and my uncles love this movie. Jus a random fact there is a tribe that do a ritual that's close similar to native american involving praying to the sun god
I suppose just to add more clarity to something someone already commented on, the Maya were literally the most advanced astronomers of the ancient world. Nobody rivaled their knowledge of the cosmos until Europeans invented the telescope. However, this knowledge was only held by societal elites. Most common folk were ignorant of it and that ignorance was exploited by the elite like in the way portrayed in this movie.
I'll also point out that the Maya at no time in history ever did any kind of mass sacrificial ceremony as depicted in this film.
They did practice human sacrifice occasionally, but they only did that with societal elites. They never went out to rural areas to kidnap hunters and farmers for sacrificing. You had to be important otherwise the gods won't value the sacrifice and usually this was the end result of a ceremonial war between different Mayan city states. Whatever leadership was out there representing his city state knew that if he lost the ceremonial war, he was getting sacrificed. It was actually regarded as a great honor. Outside that context, their blood offering rituals didn't require the person to die.
The Aztec on the other hand... well that's whole other story let's just say.
To use an Ancient Mayan word .... Correctamundo!
The ancient nightsky was a classroom for cultures around the globe the Bortle ( Darkness) Scale was a 9 ( highest) I bet the Galaxies , The Milky Way ,The Constellations , and the different meteor showers -Pleiades , the Aurora Borealis, Shooting Stars and yes even the UFO's were probably spectacular sights.
That being said the Chinese Astrologers were just as advanced as the Mayans some of their records of Celestial happenings go back 5000 years .
@@NATIVESUNSETS65 Yeah no. The Chinese had the weakest understanding of the cosmos in the ancient world. The Maya accurately calculated celestial movements to a precision and accuracy that was only achieved by another culture after the telescope was invented. The Maya were even aware that the night sky over a long enough period of time will change whereas every other culture assumed it was eternally static.
Of the ancient world? Nah. The Egyptians were far more advanced
@@johanstinson Most of their understanding came from the Mesopotamians who, yes, had a firm understanding of the heavens, but it still wasn't quite as good as the Maya's. The Mesopotamians and by extension the Egyptians (Greeks, Romans, Persians, Arabs and Indians as well) are a close second though.
South America was brutal!! They played a type of game kinda like our football (American). This game was brutal, oh and the losers were all killed. Child scrafices and removing the heart while the person was alive was practiced. These people were some of the most kick ass people in history. Made the Roman's look weak. More than likely what you seeing happened regularly.
Seriously😂, I am an Indigenous American from South America continent🌎
No joke, even in the 20th century it wasn’t much different as far as the fear factor. I remember getting my degree we talked about gang violence and when MS-13 first showed up in Denver in the 80s, their brutality terrified the other gangs. The Mexican mafia, Bloods, Crips, Aryan Brotherhood, etc. pretty much saw one head show up on a pike and determined they didn’t want the smoke from the new kids😂
This had me in tears. Two nights in a row now you two have honestly killed me with laughter.
This is a great movie. Very under appreciated hidden gem. Mel Gibson is a genius. Keep you the great work. Aloha
Apocalypto is a Greek word which literally translates to “I unveil”. Jaguar paw unveils the sun, the forces of the jungle, and the European invaders. Most importantly he unveils his true self when he sheds his own fear
indeed. this is why Apocalypse is always framed as The End; because it is, for those at the top of the pyramid. the Mayan empire died, but the people live on to this day. the greatest sin is fear
You both are the purest form of what a man and a woman should be, while being together, god bless you both
Love this comment! Appreciate you ❤️
Of course someone brings politics into a wholesome relationship
I remember my parents brought the whole family including little old 4 or 6 year old me to go watch this movie in theaters.
Honestly this movie is a classic 😎👍
You trying not to laugh at the start was killing me 😂🤣 10/10
Awesome, growing up I always thought this film was like universally loved by Mexicans because it was made by Mexicans, it was crazy and super cool finding out it was Mel Gibson behind it. I’m 20 years old and everytime I bring up apocalypto to my fellow Latinos I make sure to bring up the fact that Mel Gibson made it. Apocalypto is huge amongst us lol, it’s like one of the movies we all grew up watching. At least that’s what I’ve noticed here in Los Angeles
In mexico this is sort like a 50/50, some say its a really cool movie and like the action, some other say its a racist movie that tries to portray mexicans as savages and usually use the "historical innacuracies" argument to justify that opinion.
Another movie that has this 50/50 split is Sicario (both of them) with the "every mexican must be a narco" trope. I personally think its a great action movie.
It's an extremely historically inaccurate movie. Gibson did a good job at making it a good and thrilling picture but it's not accurate to the period or Mayan people.

LMAO , no matter how many times I come back and watch this , Hanna puking and Ash trolling her like a maniac never gets old , it's hilarious 😆😆.
in Africa to this day, the indigenous tribes still use biting ants to close wounds like stitches. the ant's jaws snap together after biting so a person can then pinch the body off the ant and still have it's jaws closing your skin together. they used this in WWII but only bc ppl have been doing it since, well, before this movie's timeline :)
The whole scene with Hannah and the testicles was just incredible. She's so empathetic that if someone else starts gagging she will just absolutely lose it.
Esta basada en la cultura maya del Mexico prehispanico. Todo el idioma que usan es lenguaje maya original.
Muy violenta pero realista en cuanto a la historia de Mexico antes de la conquista española.

@@amandarose4469 It's weird because it set in the mayan empire, you can tell for the architecture, the dresses and lenguage, but the human sacrifices are an aztec thing, also the mayan apocalipto happened 400 years before the arrival of europeans.

Seeing the Spanish at the end of the movie was really cool. They had amazing ships during that time period, and they look so impressive and beautiful
This movie was totally not about Europeans and you geek over the 5secs of Europeans , go watch pirates of the carabeans if you want to simp over European ships
@@deiselnoe1 No need to get triggered kid, I liked seeing the ships.
@@deiselnoe1Jesus Christ, what are you getting triggered for? You have no idea what other comments this person made "geeking out" over anything else.
In the context of the setting, where there is no modern technology, it must have been crazy for the main characters to suddenly see ships, and not have any idea what they were. The wife even acknowledged that. It must have been jarring. Also, the ships are symbolic for the fall of this civilization, and a "new beginning" which is what Jaguar alludes to. "The new world" is synonymous with Europeons. So, while it is a tiny part of the movie, the implications are large, because the Mayans do eventually disappear.
The Jaguar was also a tiny part of the movie, but the symbolism was meaningful. Would you have gotten upset if someone acknowledged the jaguar, or did the association with Europeans make you mad.
You need to chill the f out.

reality was probably more harsh
Mayans and Aztecs were brutal, so much that almost every tribe in the region were happy to supply Spanish conquistadores with all the food and information possible to destroy their empires
not that it was that hard, their empires were on political ruin already because of the tyrannical ways they had, not to mention the plagues
ps. jaguars are the second biggest feline in the world, they have one the strongest bites in the world, absolutely destructive.
Conquest was alie
What the hell are you talking about Tenochtitlan was bigger than London at the time of it was conquest, the Aztec were at the high of their power but they were not prepare por de conquistadores, it is pretty much like aliens get down on Washington killing people how can you defend against that. Also smallpox was brought here by the Spanish it killed more than half of the Aztec population the Spanish knew this and use it was biological weapon during the war.

But still, the spanish conquest between 1519-1521 is probably one the most epic story in history.
It was way beyond brutal the Aztecs were offering sacrifices and burning Blood as an oblation to a

Those were not simply Europeans those were Spanish Conquestadors, they will make the Aztec and Mayans seem like cuddly friendly tribesmen. The Spanish are even burning other Christians alive at this time in Europe. It's about to be a showdown of monsters vs monsters.... but the Conquestadors have steel, gunpowder, and horses.
And also 'God' on their side, making them 100% mental.
@@waldorfmcvitty4854 Maybe God was on their side. Maybe seeing the downright demonic human sacrifice rituals of the Aztec and Maya and how they sewed evil and tyranny on the other tribes around them, he made a monster in Europe up to the task of taking them on.....after they were destroyed Spain promptly lost it's fleet in storms and fell off the history making country list.....it was if their rise to power was totally designed for conquoring latin American countries being a bigger bullly then even their bullies, and making them Christian. I do beleive God useses everyone, and designs the cure for the poison. Let's not pretend the Aztec and Maya were not abslute monsters preying on every other group/tribe of people they came across though.
This is considered one of the most immersive movie of all times. It is not historical accurate anyway, but at least is not a documentary.
And don't worry about mayans (aztecs really) for the arrival of europeans. Spanish did not behave worse with them than they with their neighbours. Most of them finally died by sickness that spanish brought from europe.
The Little girl ( Curadora ) who told them the prophecy of Jaguar Paw had Smallpox , so the europeans had already made contact. The Spaniards they see at the end is Not Cortes .
Great reaction as always. Hannah is awesome and so funny. If you are enjoying the Mel Gibson movies check out Passion of the Christ. Beautifully filmed, brutal, and will have Ash biting his fists to the bone. Look forward to the next reaction 👍

Hey Ash, if you haven’t seen it I’d HIGHLY recommend The Void (2016) it’s a cosmic horror/monster movie with about 98% practical effects (besides a single green screen moment that was needed) that were done by a team that were mentored by the same effects team that worked on The Thing
"He needs some therapy that one "😂😂😂 omg ,I almost died hahahaha
This movie is MADLY underrated. It's unbelievably good. The acting, the script, score, make-up, cinematography, direction - everything. It's a classic.
Underrated? Its one of the best movies of all Time...bro.
I legit believe it's because of Mel Gibson and political temperature at the time
That opening slow-mo and the “started at the bottom and….we’re still here.” 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂💀
Love you mate ❤️
"hang on, don't involve me in this" about the frog TOOK ME OUT
I love the ending when the Spaniards showed up.
The brutal Aztecs didnt know what was in their future,and that future was well deserved.
Yea because the Aztecs won!!! The mexica aka Aztecs defeated the Spaniards!!! It was easy to write a book in a different language and only the rich Spanish could read them comic books 📚!!! You dnt see millions of white Europeans in Mexico lol just dark skinned black haired indigenous ppl !! If the Spaniards won where is the fkg king at Ahahahahah the Spaniards didn’t defeat the mapuche the chichimecas the yaqui the mexica the apache’ or the other tribes plus there’s millions of Mayans still here !!! Only racist simps believe in white supremacy!! USA teaches evolution lol and so you believe lol you dnt question anything like a simp !! A future never stolen Ahahahahah is a will deserved future indeed
The future of the colonizers sons is dark indeed and yes very well deserved 😡
Disease was about to arrive
@@BigFists2024 every race are colonizers.
La pelicula fue basada en los mayas no en los aztecas. Y no conquistaron porque aun existen tradiciones ancestrales que se niegan a morir por el contrario la religion impuesta cada vez se ve mas deteriorada y volvemos a nuestras raices indigenas y prehispanicas
That was the best opening scene of you two ever! Thank you for that.
30% movie reacting
70% couple arguing
love it
Jesus......Christ. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that opening. I've NEVER laughed that hard at a reaction video ever. Not for any comedy movie, fail video, comedian, or song reaction.
Shit......I'm sure I've only laughed that hard a handful of times in my life. It just hit my funny bone perfectly today. FANTASTIC JOB!!
Also, This movie was so unexpectedly good. I knew I would like it because I'm a big Gibson fan. I didn't know that I would love it. I think It showcases his storytelling ability that He is also the guy that directed the Passion of the Christ.
Mel Gibson is a great director. The movie is historically inaccurate but the effort they put in this production, the attention to the details, the magnificence of the sets, etc, etc, is insane.
@@SwampmasterZ basically just the timeline of when they would have been sacrificing people to when europeans would have arrived.
@@dash4800 bro also the mayans lived hundreds of years before the Europeans arrived!! These should be aztecs but Mel fucked it up LOL!!!
When you said: Europeans! I had goosebumps. Cool movie, I remember watching it for the first time and was stunned by the ending. No matter how advanced you think you are, there is a civilization even more advanced. Thus began the Apocalypse for them. Thanks for reaction and emotion; don't fotget, that you have the sword of the Kings behind you. ;)
What do you mean more advanced😂 the only reason why the Spanish were able to conquer was the smallpox they brought more than 90% of the population died from it
@@co3tzx375 the reason the spanish could even reach them to bring the small pox, is that they were more advanced technologically. morally it's pick your poison i guess
I love the chemistry between these two.
To give you a bit of info, Jaguars are one of the most OP cats on earth. They can climb trees like a leopard, swim better than a tiger and have a stronger bite force than a lion.
They're basically hell cats.
Well if Im not mistaken these are AZtecs in central Mexico from 14th to 16th century , Mayans are a much older (about 2000 years) civilization which was already long gone by the time Europeans rediscovered Americas. Also this Human Sacrifice thing is more a AZTEC thing. Remember this is 14th -16th centuries and this type of Sacrifice in mass scale was Somewhat unique. I am Sri Lankan Sinhalese..., and in our culture also there was savage punishments (32 ways of torture) up until 1815 before brits abolished the old legal system. But even though all that almost demonic torture...was all for Criminals and public enemies...not for normal folk... With Aztecs it was all about pleasing the GODs by sacrificing friend and foe alike..(if it came it it)..they even sacrificed Europeans mate....And this is the same culture now Mexican Gangs/Cartels like AZTECO follow...unfortunately.
The peak of the Mayan civilization was gone by the time of the Spanish conquistadors, but they weren't long gone. The Mayans had the longest resistance to the Spanish than any other native civilization.
I’m Mexicano and the brutal cartel violence didn’t start till 2006 when Calderon sent the military after the cartels. It has nothing to do our ancestors.
@@blanketstarry7725 the Spaniards never defeated nobody!! Only in books 📚 that where written in a different language!! The Spaniards never defeated the mapuche the yaqui the chichimecca the apache etc Mexicans are not white but mexica tribe aka Aztecs!!! Mexico has no uropean king either lol you dnt see millions of white ppl in Mexico !!! Nothing but dark skinned black haired indigenous people
@@BigFists2024 Spaniards certainly did defeat much of central and South America, with the help of native allies. Mexicans (Mestizo) are on average 40-45% European ancestry, mostly Spanish. And Mexicans (their indigenous portion) are mostly NOT Aztec.
@@BigFists2024 Uh tf are you talking about. About half the population in mexico is mixed with native and spaniard. Especially once you hit northern mexico you'll find millions of people with colored eyes, light skin, red and blonde hair.
Great reaction. I am one of those who recommended this movie several times - glad you took the recommendation!
However, if I may: you showed too little of the second part, when he is in his forrest - and especially the parts with his wife - who was EQUALLY the hero of this movie - just... differently! In fact, she is one of the most powerful female characters I have seen on film. This movie has two, parallel hero tales:
- one outside, kinetic, in the world - the male
- and one at the heart / hearth of the family - the female
...and the heroism of both is needed in order for them to survive, in the end, as a family.
For another powerful and unique movie I would recommend Signs, an M Night Shyamalan - Mel Gibson collaboration.
One of my fav movies. In the end, the Spaniards arriving in ships are the end of the Aztec empire and some say Mayans in Mexico. Their is still a small number of indigenous people in the mountains of Chiapas Mexico still fighting for their land from the mex gov and cartel power. that is why most Mexica people speak Spanish and not Nahuatl (native mayan language).
Nahuatl is NOT the mayan language. That is the Aztec (Nahua) language.
Nahuatl is the Mexica native language. The mayans speak mayan.
My gosh you two had me in stitches within 5mins,,,, this was gold this movie and you guys just made it into a comedy narrative, from NZ 🤣
Saddess bit of context for you guys, sorry for this, this movie is about the classic Mayan collapse, which historically took place almost place nearly 600 years before the Europeans arrived in the new world. Would of been the case if this movie was about the aztecs but sadly its impossible to have Europeans there as Spain was still a caliphate at the time 😔 still a good movie
This might be the best reaction of all time. But don't try to outdo it. You might feel temptation to start faking it. Whatever you two do, keep it real. But yeah bru you do talk over her a little bit once on a while, not always though.
@@mustafafh4402 Maybe so, but they weren't talking about that, whereas they WERE talking about HIM talking over HER. So YOU'RE the one who needs to let them have their peace, because if they're talking about it, then they want us talking about it too. So go away.
@@mustafafh4402 Genius, I'm not the one who is going on a comment section of a video and criticizing people for posting comments about the video.
Hey guys! Another epic reaction. You guys are awesome. That picture of Hannah in the thumbnail is hilarious. 😄 Congrats on your new setup. Keep the reactions coming!
You ain’t Some Guy to me, you’re a proper legend and a true brother, thank you for watching mate ❤️
The delivery of "omg it's pirates," is one of the funniest things I've ever heard in my life.
Did my guy seriously just say "he's done it, she bit it off"😂😂
You two are hilarious! I almost peed during the first two minutes with Ash's face. This is one of my top 5 movies! 1-That animal was a Tapir, cousin of the pig. Still eaten to this day. 2-Stop blaming your farts on each other...lolol...own up!! I dreamt for months I was running alongside Jaguar Paw...this is a film that truly lingers in your mind.
Oiiii I swear she farted three times in this reaction mine are deadly and she would gag way worse than she did in this reaction 😂 mad love to you mate, thank you for watching ❤️
The plague was because the europeans arrived on the continent: it's attested the illness traveled faster than the Spanish themselves. So most of the time, when they arrived, the population had already been ravaged.
The people in the old world (Afro-Eurasia), Spanish people included, were the descendants of those who survived those diseases, being gradually exposed generation after generation. The people in the new world had no such immunity, so it was kind of unavoidable that any prolonged contact would bring those diseases sooner or later. Being suddenly exposed to such deadly diseases, nowadays it's estimated that 70-80% of the population of the continent died.
No. The plague in this movie has absolutely nothing to do with Europeans.
People forget how good a filmmaker Mel Gibon is just cu he did some crazy shit years back lol so glad yall reacted to this
@@maaziy_ghaziyIYI multiple things in the 2000s starting with his duis and multiple racist rants where he screamed the N word and even being accused of hitting his wife
@@bighugo27 i think what got him on the blacklist was talking about The Rothschilds and that there are kids abused in Hollywood.
@@maaziy_ghaziyIYI he was also like vulgarly complaining to an arresting officer in antisemitic/ "Jews own Hollywood" style remarks so that was all recorded.
he basically had an embarrassing public mental breakdown.
"Omg it's pirates"☠️🤣🤣🤣
Omg i barely see people react tot his movie! I really hope your reaction starts a trend throughout the community to react to this
Extraordinary historical epic filmmaking by Mel Gibson! Very few people can speak the Mayan dialect today and these Native non-actors and actors gave us splendid performances! Bravo!!!
thats not true. around 6 million people can speak different dialects of the mayan language today in countries like guatemala and belize
This movie also isn't historical, more like a simple story using a Mayan/Aztec set up.
You two are absolutely hilarious together! 😂
My brother..honour to have you on the channel 👌🏾
@@justtrustash The honor is mine
Mel makes a heckuva movie. This was done so incredibly well. Loved your reactions!
Love you mate, thank you for watching ❤️
Basically the Mayans sacrificed humans for the “sun God” and they believed the eclipse was a sign that it was satisfied, however it’s known that the higher ups knew about the eclipse being a natural phenomenon and used it to control the people
Something that always blows my mind is that I always think of this as being in ancient times yet Oxford University was founded 500 years before this and Cambridge about 300 years before.
Not sure why but that just blows me away
This movie is an absolute stunner and very underappreciated.
The animal in the first scene is a Tapir. Related to the pig family.
I'm thinking she will not do well later in the movie.
Kudos to SH60 Guy for identifying the tapir.
Tapirs are not part of the pig family. They are related to rhinos and horses.
