When I first saw this movie, it blew me away. I recommended it to my mother, and she told me, "I don't like movies with subtitles!". Months go by...one day, she tells me, "Chris, I decided to watch Apocalypto... I think it's one of my favorite movies of all time!!" 😆 She watched it every time she got a chance to. RIP Mom.
Well, at least they didn't rip out their beating hearts.
I also saw this in the movies, it was a stressful experience 😂
My father show me this movie, he also watched it dozen times😅
RIP your Mom
Same! I kept blowing it off because I didn’t feel like watching a subtitled movie- now it’s one of my favorite all time movies!
Mel deserved a Oscar for this one, but Hollywood hates him lol
Even more now that he and Jim Cazeivil (sp) are exposing those involved with trafficking.
@@danusdragonfly6640 I thought it was his girlfriend?
@@thomasbrown9402 He kinda of said people of a certain religion own hollywood and are the cause of all wars in the world. that and wishing his ex would get uhhh ganged up on by a pack of yeah :/
@@danusdragonfly6640 Are you thinking of Alec Baldwin?
@@danusdragonfly6640 Yea, that btch provoked him in that phone call, and everyone know that.
It was the Spanish Conquistadors at the end. They conquered the Mayans. Thats why that whole area speaks Spanish.
and those spanish worked with those types of outsiders in the jungle to destroy them.
Mayan empires was long gone when the Spaniards arrived.
@@kona883 Portuguese never had contact with the Incas.
Love the very end ,for the history buffs like me knew what was to come shortly when the ships sailed up, little did they know their fate was sealed
The first contact between the Maya and Europe was during Christopher Columbus' 4th voyage, around the turn of the century, circa 1500. Not saying it was him, but there's a good chance that was the implication.
One of my all-time favorite movies..... When that little girl said ".....they're my children now" I cry every time.
Oh damn, that part still makes me teary eyed.
So sad 😢
I loooove this movie. The best part is that it does not require translations into other languages, only subtitles.
That's the best of it. Translated dialogues from non-english speaking characters is just lazy
As somebody who speaks a second language fluently, and is learning third - I totally agree.
???? Um, subtitles are translations to a different language. Are you talking about dubs? Because no movie requires that and it hasn't been done much since the 90s.
Jaguars, like leopards, have black fur. Black panthers either way.
@@dash4800 I think he means original script made in english for movies set in a foreign country. A recent example would be Jojo Rabbit, they should be speaking german
❤ I can't believe no one's mentioned the strength of his wife as well. She gave birth standing, while keeping their 1st born calm and above water on her shoulders in that hole.
I thought about her strength in that scene too. Doing multiple tasks while waiting for him.
That's how you write a strong female character without having a male bashing feminist agenda. Hell, I'll even argue that some feminist today would think if she had 2 abortions, she would have only had to worry about herself.🤔
it was a common thing back in the days. They have no hospitals in the jungle
Im sure it was mighty uncomfortable.
@@gandr.e.5136 Really? Even in this movie that has nothing to do with it, incels show up talking about how femininity should be for women, how mediocre. When you become a warrior like the husband, then you can demand something like that, but a little man complaining by keyboard like a crybaby, I don't think he would last 4 days in a tropical jungle, so GET REAL!
Perfect choice for eclipse week. Such great performances all through this movie.
The character blunted the one who ate the balls and mother in law was forcing him to give her grandchildren is my close friend from my reservation here in Canada. So proud of my boy. I remember when he was away filming this movie
Awesome! My favourite character in the movie.
That's really cool. Big, strong, good looking fella. I'm surprised he hasn't had more of an acting career.
The North Eastern Mexico Tribes enslaved by the Aztecs joined the Spaniard Conquistadors to defeat Montezuma. Spanish Small Pox put down 3 to 6 million in the Americas after they landed.
Mexica in Nahuatl not Aztec.
there is a diary someone reads online about this from the point of view of the aztecs. its very very interesting.
@@rhyantrick8178 The Aztecs freaked out seeing Men Riding Armoured Horses and Attack Dogs. They thought at first they were gods but wised up to late.
@@mikecalif5553The term Aztecs is not correct, culturally this term has been left however it is wrong as well as calling them "empire" since their territory and so on was not an empire, only a certain part of central Mexico, instead they should be called Mexica, Aztec refers to Aztlan, the place (of which there is no record of its existence) from which the tribes that founded Tenochtitlan, the capital of Mexico, came from and were known as "Aztecs", however the correct term is Mexica, from This same word comes from the Mexican term by the way.
@@MarkRamirez66648Right but what OP said still stands no? The tribes from Tenochitlan enslaved the northern part of Mexico and were wiped out by the Spaniards?
This is one of my all-time favorite movies. I was blown away the first time I watched it. Thank you guys for reacting to it.
The white stuff is limestone/plaster used for building all those monuments and pyramids. Part of the process of manufacturing the plaster was burning it in fire kilns. Ironically, the reason they had no crops was because they upset the ecosystem by cutting down, and burning all the trees to make the plaster. This effected rainfall, soil, and many other things a rain forest needs to thrive. Some scientists believe, along with the Spaniards, this contributed to the demise of the Mayans. That, and the fact they did these sacrifices, starting with the smartest and strongest first to please the Gods. Fun facts, or not so fun. LOL
Not true at all.
Great movie. At the beginning it shows the Natives killing a wild pig. Pigs aren't indigenous there. Had the Europeans already been there for quite some time? My father is from Guatemala and this movie is banned there!..
@@Mushymush1It was no wild pig, it was a tapir.
@@alejandrogm1588 Ah! My bad.
@@USMC0331OIF Could you provide further information instead of "no"?
This movie is such a gem, definitely one of Mel Gibson's best pieces of work as a director, but I am blown away by the acting in it.
Our Hero's name in the film happens to be Jaguar Paw. He was played by the actor Rudy Youngblood .
just some fun fact: im zuni from new mexico we are pueblo native americans from the south and us zunis(ashiwi) are brothers and sisters with the hopi tribe. our stories stems from the grand canyon and our stories talk about emerging from the grand canyon and search of the middle place some of our people traveled down south to mexico and so on that scene when they enter the empire, the ladys that had there hair in a bun with white and red clothing is how hopis dress and as well as zuni in our ceremonies. we (ashiwi) consider the mayans as brothers and sisters. we still use macaw feathers as how they use them. so when i first saw this movie i was intrigued on how they look like us but our ceremonies are not like theirs
fun fact the main and most of the actors in the movie are actually played by Native Americans. You should try the commentary of this movie Mel goes into more detail about it.
am intrigued by the serpent god. how related he is to the mayans (Kukulkan) aztecs (Quetzalcoatl) zuni (Koloowisi) and to the hopi (Palulukon), am Hopi, and older folks said that the macaw is actually ours, like we own it. also they said just to maintain life was a kin to balancing on a razor. I was shown how the great mayan city Palanque is actually the ancient hopi city of Palatquapi, through stories we got similarities. it is said to never head into the land of the deep south, or we become food for that serpent... our traditional clothes have ties to the rain forest.
Notice the little smile the priest and emperor give to each other...they knew the eclipse was going to happen and were just manipulating the people. Mayans were astronomers
The chase in this movie is one of the most intense experiences in a movie ever. Thanks for reviewing you two!!!
This is one of those Movie's that makes you appreciate Life in Our Lifetime... in the 20th & 21st Century... Living Comfortably... in Our Houses... Shopping for Food... Instead of Hunting. Survival of the Fittest was Really Really Real Back in Those Days. When I first watched this... I definitely put more respect on Mel Gibson's name... who Directed It. ☮️
The main character is Jaguar Paw
History is wild. The actors in this movie are outstanding, how could you be surrounded by all that craziness and do your job.
A friend of mine who is Mexican said this movie was their favorite because it blew his mind the first time, realizing he was a mix of both the Maya and the Europeans who showed up at the end.
It was a Jaguar, aka a black panther. Black panthers are both jaguars and leopards that are black pigmented with black leopards being in africa and asia and jaguars being in south america
His father was wrong about fear being a bad thing as he learned. Fear saved him and told him to move further in the forest when he saw the ships.
He literally was not wrong lol …..how is that fear it’s called using ur brain…would u bring ur family to some men u didn’t know …u gotta understand the natives had never seen white men or boats up until that time.
No, his father was right. nothing they could do. His father didn't say "do do anything." he said don't let fear into your heart. They were going to make plans the next day; nothing they could do to avoid the situation. After the waterfall, he learned his father's lesson. you live your life the best you can. Fear and dread serve no purpose. Hazards come and go. Predators come and go. you'll either live or you wont. Fearing about dying just ruins days alive and doesn't prevent death. Just do your best, have your life in order, and live your life. Prepare and adapt. Fearing helps nothing but dysfunction to grow.
@@unclebounce1495 This the beauty of art. Good art is subjective and each one enjoys it differently and receives the message they require. At least 15 people seem to agree with me.👍 You must have never heard the term "Healthy Fear" which is a survival INSTINCT. We fear for a reason. Its a healthy response to danger. The issue is what one does with that energy. The Fight or Flight response.
That is the lesson learned here. In fact he felt fear when the group came just wanting to pass and saw it in THEIR eyes but instead of getting away (FLEEING)from danger by listening to that fear he and the tribe stayed and paid the price of ignoring that survival instinct and getting captured. In the end he saw the ships and used that fear to get away from danger.
History does show that those who welcomed the ships instead of fearing them paid the biggest price. They were Conquered. Perhaps since his whole tribe was wiped out by ignoring the danger, he and his wife and child will be the new tribe that understand the value of fear and they will survive what is surely coming. This is my interpretation of this great film. Yours may be different.
@@unclebounce1495 I spent awhile writing a rebuttal that was quite long and it disappeared. I must learn were i am I guess. I'll just say this. "The Fight or Flight response" Is a survival mechanism. Those wanting to pass through was the fear warning the tribe ignored and was destroyed for it. When he saw the ships he was fearful enough to move away from it while those who welcomed the ship were conquered. That is called a 'Healthy Fear" a natural response to danger.
@@Friend_Of_The_Muse Except all those statements are false. Those who welcomed the colonists were saved. The colonists, both spanish, and english (later), aided the oppressed/genocided people frequently against the evil powers that ruled them. And you said they ignored the "fear warning." They didn't. They were going to decide what to do. notice the ones who GAVE IN to their fear and fled (original tribe)... got caught, too? The false premise is that the tragedy was avoidable. That's the lie many tell themselves. You cannot avoid all hazards. Some, you must simply endure. They didn't ignore the warning sign. The father wasn't saying to ignore the warning sign. He was saying don't let fear take you. Fear causes you to act stupidly, always, never smartly. His father's plan was to discuss the danger calmly the next day with the camp elders and plan accordingly. Unfortunately, the attack was already upon them. nothing they could've done would've saved them, which is why the tribe that fled passed them were caught, too.
Mel Gibson and for that matter Clint Eastwood are two of the greatest actor/writer/director of this time.
'Passion of the Christ'(04) Gibson and 'Letters from Iwo Jima'(06) Eastwood are really good examples.
This movie had great actors. Looked pretty realistic to me!
I'm so glad more Native tongue's are being loved and watched!! And here lately Native American movie's are being appreciated and for me being raised on a Rez. Until I was 11 it really warms my heart!! Great movie and reaction
The reality is very different and sad, here in Mexico (which is where the film takes place and was filmed) the indigenous and native languages are being lost, the few people who speak them are elderly and older people incapable of transmitting their knowledge, the foreigners They gentrify the territory more and more and with that they take away the culture itself and, most importantly, the languages. In schools they give priority to languages like French, English, etc., instead of the languages of our own country.
@@MarkRamirez66648 I couldn't agree more I absolutely love this comment!! I can't even find anything Native on the emojis besides a canoe and feather like seriously ya know what I'm saying?! I'd give anything to set down with the older generation and be taught taught. But I'm friends on I. G. ( I had to abbreviate or it remove the comment) With a lot of my own ppl including Lily Gladstone who is Native. Also I am very good friends with Cece Meadows who owns Prados beauty she is half Mexican half Native. She has the best of both worlds. You should really come to a powwow once. 🤎🪶🫂
Great pick for the week of the Great American Eclipse.
One of the most intense movies ever. So emotional.
Great movie!
Among the many sad moments, the one that hit me the hardest for some reason was when the man who couldn't have kids watched his step mother (I think thats who she was) abandoned after no one wanted her as a slave. Before they were all captured, he had a real dislike for her, but with a new perspective, he felt pity. He knew that their lives were going to change forever.
She also had pity for him. She always called him useless, the she ended up being useless.
I think mother in law
Thank you both for watching this one! I saw this in theaters when I was a teenager all by myself and never ceased marveling at this film. It should've won Oscars for production design, costumes, makeup, you name it, including at least being nominated for Best Picture, but didn't do well at the box office due to Mel Gibson's personal and professional setbacks in his life at the time, and sadly that's the way it goes when you lose favor in an industry that operates on image and the politics of "what have you done for me lately though". He never went away, however, because I know you both saw Hacksaw Ridge a while ago which was a Mel movie that was nominated for a ton of Oscars, including Best Picture, and was a resounding comeback for the man.
I don't agree with Mel Gibson on a lot of things he says but nobody can deny he's a masterful filmmaker with old school auteur approaches to storytelling and movie-making. I love Apocalypto and stan this one to this day to so many people who never caught it, but goddamn if I didn't do a double-take to see both of you explore this one too which is awesome. Love your channel, been a longtime viewer, so keep it pushing and thank you both again!
Apocalypto is one of my all time favs. Good storyline and it's visually stunning.
Such an underrated gem of a movie. Solid set design, wardrobe, and gripping story!
also ima need that "back like we never left" run dmc shirt BJ! lol
“What do you know it’s damn Christopher Columbus” lol
“What do you know it’s damn Christoper Columbus “ 💀 😂😂😂😂
Awesome movie! 💯⭐ Thank You, Asia & BJ for choosing this one. 👌🙏
BJ would go to the endless possibilities to save his family, Asia steps on a splinter.. mission over 😅
One of my favorite films, Mel Gibson is a genius! Really excited for this reaction.
The thing I like about this movie is its rewatcheability. It has been around for so long, but whenever it plays on tv in South Africa it trends on social media platforms like it's a new movie
One of my favorite things about this movie is the lack of dialogue. After the original attack on their village there are very few spoken words, which makes the times when there is dialogue much more poignant and the intensity of emotion is allowed to take over, just as it would if the viewer were in that situation. This movie is an absolute masterpiece
Give "Sleepers" a review. Stars Kevin Bacon, Brad Pitt, Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman, Minnie Driver and more. Great cast and not a lot of people have seen it.
Damn good movie.
OMG i was literally thinking about this movie yesterday, thinking that it had been at least 15 years since I’ve watched it, it’s a sign 😂
There's not a lot of reaction videos to it either :)
Mel Gibson was already a great actor (Mad Max series, Lethal Weapon series, etc). But he's also directed some fantastic movies eg. BraveHeart, Hacksaw Ridge, The Passion Of Christ, etc.
A top 20 movie of all time imo
On June 21, 1525 was the eclipse over the Yucatán. The next day on June 22, 1525 the Spanish Cortes made contact with the Mayan people. Eventually the Spanish destroyed the Mayans.
Say what ya will about Mel..but the man certainly knows how to make an awesome movie!
An absolute masterpiece. Yes, it does become a bit of an action movie over the third act, but Gibson's immersion into a completely alien and inscrutable ancient culture is truly incredible. You're right that you haven't seen anything like it; and there hasn't been anything like it since. Also the subtle warning at the end as the Spanish Armada arrive in the bay, sure to destroy all the indigenous cultures with their guns, germs, and steel, is the perfect melancholy ending.
You say it like it was a negative outcome.... Good job they destroyed that pagan garbage!
@@anthonyvucetic9899 Ever hear of The Spanish Inquisition? Ever hear of measles, influenza, typhus, malaria, diphtheria, whooping cough, and, above all, smallpox?
This is a terribly inaccurate depiction of Mayan culture I Just hope you know that.
@@etzvike7856 Enter Captain Obvious. Just as Braveheart is not remotely accurate. Just as Gladiator blustery historical fiction.
@@GodLovesComics So?
In my DNA, I'm 18% Mayan/Apache, 68% Spaniard (Celtic, Basque) 8% Russian, 4% Finnish, 2% Neanderthal and we've done our over a thousand years back. There's lots of documents from New Spain (Mexico) and my Conquistador ancestors and the Basque region of Spain. My mom and her sister traveled to Spain to get copies of a lot of this stuff. You find out a lot of crazy stuff like an acestor pirate who built his 2 ships in Portugal and Holland and on the run from Spaniard authorities ( being a Spanish citizen) but they finally caught him and he died in a Barcelona prison. I have a long multiple page list of of his possessions when he was arrested.
That's pretty cool stuff!
This movie is up there with one of my all time favourites. I just love how it only needs the subtitles, keeps you involved and submerged in the world of the Mayan people and times. Say what you want about Mel Gibson but most of what he touches film wise is absolute gold 👊 as always guys great reaction, thanks for doing this movie 👊❤️🇬🇧
Unfortunately this movie is a terribly inaccurate depiction of the Mayan people.
@etzvike7856 yeah and so was Braveheart but still a fantastic job by Gibson at what is a fantastic film
@@raypenny932 I agree that it was a great film, I thoroughly enjoyed it, just want people to know its not entirely true as im of the ancestry depicted in the film lol.
11:53 "I don't know but this don't look good!" That had me crackin up. I love y'all
It was a Jaguar, BUT every big cat that is born Black is technically a black panther no matter if it`s a Jaguar, Leopard.... so on.
U should watch 2006 "Pan's Labyrinth"
My favorite movie 🖤
This is one of the few films I can rewatch any number of times and it’s always good. Easily among my all time favorite movies of all time! I’m glad y’all are watching this film.
This movie was so mind blowing. Still can't believe its directed by Mel Gibson. "Almost" - such a good line.
The star of this movie (Rudy Youngblood) is from my hometown of Belton Texas. Mel Gibson also starred in and directed my favorite war movie "We Were Soldiers".
Asia was inside the movie 😂😂😂 didn't want to miss anything
I avoided this movie for years because of the subtitles but I finally broke down and watched it and it’s one hellacious movie. I thoroughly enjoyed every second of it and have watched it many times and will watch it again.
I mean, theres a good chance BJ was right with the Christopher Columbus comment. The first time Europeans and Mayans encountered eachother, as far as we know, was around 1500 during Columbus' fourth voyage to that part of the world. Supposedly it was his brother Bartholomew that was the first contact.
Oh myy, been waiting for this reaction. One of Mel Gibson's gems😊that little girl even said it, jaguar will bring you to your end.
A panther is just a black coated jaguar. They are the same species as leopards. Jaguars are found in Sth America whereas leopards are found in Africa and Asia. Mel Gibson makes great movies. This one of my top 5 favourite movies.
Yep the Good Mayans. Empire is Empire anywhere , anytime , by any race , or civilization.
I'm so glad you watched and loved this movie. I love this movie, it's one of my favorites. Since you didn't mind subtitles, a really good and fun movie to watch that has subtitles, is Kung Fu Hustle. They do a version with voice overs, but to me it ruined the movie, it's so much better with the subtitles.
I met the lead actor years ago. Super nice guy.
As a mixed Native American and European this movie hits different
I think it was supposed to be Hernán Cortés who was the European landing at the end.
This is a very special movie. It's absolute genius. Mel Gibson happens to be a truly great director and this is a testimony. It's breathtaking and visceral. Their world ended (Apocalypto) when the Conquistadors came. I always have chills when they see the ships for the first time at the shore.
Somehow, Asia did not cover her eyes during this. She said something like "evil don't even know what evil is"....
From the mouth of babes, I see how innocent you are and I love you for it. I thought you would not be able to watch this, yet you did not cover your eyes. You were wide eyed.
BJ is the Man
This movie is so intense & immersive…and then that final shot is just like “…whoa”
Great reaction and great film! What made it feel so real is that they didn't use actors that were already famous in the U.S., so when you watch it, it really seems like everything is real and not just a movie.
One of the best movies that anyone saw or knows about. I know Gibson said stupid isshy things. One of the first people to be “cancelled” before it was a thing.
Love this movie, me and pops used to watch it a lot
Love this movie! Rudy Youngblood (jaguar paw) is one of my top 5 celebrity crushes. He’s so dreamy.
An excellent hidden gem of a movie.
One of my favorite movies since its release...Thanks for reacting.
Melson Gison is COLD with it. 😮
One of the best movies ever made. Mel knows how to tell a story, that's for sure.
My wife and I miss yall , yall come down to Sugarland Texas meet up for lunch or dinner on us😊
They live. One of the most surreal movies ever. Written by the Philip k. Dick . He wrote blade runner,total recall and minority report.
I love when hippies say "we should be more like Indians or Natives and connect we the spiritual world, kindness and nature"... if only they knew 🤣. By the way This is the first movie i´ve got the moment i bought my first DVD player. Absolutely love it
I love your reaction
I’m native and used to watch this in childhood bc it was one of the few things in tv and films that had anything with native Americans.
Other reactions have such an undertone of uppity and cvntiness.
Yours was such a genuine reaction.
Love it. Keep the reactions coming ✨❤️
AT THE END IT APPEARS HERNAN CORTEZ THE SPANIH CONQUEROR, GOOD REACTION .
16:49 It’s a Jaguar 🐆 being South America and all , leopards in Africa/India etc.. + there is no such animal as a “panther” that’s kinda just slang for a “Melanistic big cat” 🐈⬛
This is my all time favourite movie... every time I watch it , its a 10/10
I just wanna say anytime I see you guys post, I get genuinely happy ya know, it’s like my friends bouta watch some fire this should be fun every time lol
This movie has been sitting on my shelf for for a few years now and finally decided to watch it for the first time. Great movie. Not a huge a subtitle guy when it comes to foreign movies but eveyrthing about this movie blew me away. Why it took me so long to watch it is beyond me. I highly recommend thr movie
Gibson directed Braveheart too. ❤
What a great film, wonderful to see a completely different culture and history on film too, we don't get many things about the Mayans/Incas etc.
This is a great film. I watched it when it came out on DVD, then decided to buy it. I think Mel Gibson is a phenomenal visual storyteller, and actor of course. If you’re cool with subtitles I recommend watching Pan’s Labyrinth. It’s a very creative story , with hauntingly beautiful music and has some interesting visuals!
Now you MUST watch the making of this masterpiece of a film (found here on YT). It's just as captivating as watching the movie itself. The details involved will blow you away, and Mel didn't use any cgi whatsoever.
I believe the point with the Mother in law was that she called her son in law useless and worthless in the beginning in the movie. This was in the context of the small village culture. At the end now the guy she said was useless had a purpose in avenging the village and in the “big city” she was the one that was useless and she finally appreciates him.
Roland Emmerich directed the Patriot but Gibson was one of the executive producers and when they both have the same vision for the film in preproduction they get along well! 🙄 ( Both Gibson and Emmerich shockingly got along very well!)
I have to say Gibson knows storytelling, world building and GREAT cinematography! Not in my top 10 but easily in my top 20 or 25 favorite films of all Time! Which is actually saying a lot because there’s plenty of other choices!
It was Hernan Cortez
****“Passion of the Christ” is another GREAT Mel Gibson directed movie ****
Es la primera ves que veo a asia bien concentrada en una pelicula😂a la que reaccionan,excelente pelicula sobre la conquista de los españoles....un saludo desde hermosillo sonora mexico!!!!!
This is definitely one of my favorite movies. You guys should react to Blood Diamonds.
The quote in beginning is almost what Nikita Khrushnev said about the U.S---
"We don't need to invade the U. S. Just let them rot from within" In 1960's.
And 60 years later the US is still going strong and the Soviet Union has collapsed from rot from within.
Entertaining movie. Y'all looked pretty tense for most of it!
Spanish Conquistadors are ones that arrive there at the end of the movie. The Mayans were conquered by the Spanish, most specifically Martin de Urzua y Arizmendi.
It was nice watching you watching this master piece. By the way, Jaguars are from America and Leopards or Panthers are from Africa and Asia.
Now we all know Asia gon be covering her eyes a lot with this one🤣👍
Love this movie! One of my favorites of all time.
Thanks, y’all!
I just watched this with my mother at the end of March! Perfect timing!!
The movie is the Aztecs rounding up the Mayans.
Not quite.
Different regions.
Thanks honestly I always wondered about that
Really so then why are the “aztecs” speaking yucatec maya? The aztecs spoke nahuatl not maya. These are maya s not aztecs
@@jesuschavez3987it isnt true. Everyone in the movie is speaking yucatec mayan, the aztecs spoke in the Nahuatl language not mayan
I'm so happy that you guys are back like you haven't even left. I love this movie! Great movie by Mel Gibson and the actress and actors in this are sensational. That actor stabbed at the waterfall is on Law And Order.
