    When I was a little kid, I didn't get the politics from the priest and the chief. But here the priest is playing a clever game. If the boys win, the Chief's BEST warriors will be killed and the Chief would lose a ton of power. If they lose, the priest can prove the boys are not gods. In his mind, he would have won either way.

      It's a good argument, but it's not just the blood. It's also the fact that they went against him, which I bet he sees as the most absurd thing of all and something that no true god would do. Even if they were really gods, the priest might still believe them to be fake just because he could never accept the fact that he wasn't right.

      In the movie, magic is real. The priest, after he saw they're blood, probably thought they were powerful sorcerers but not the gods. That's why he picked such a powerful spell to defeat them.

    My wife and I just got back from our honeymoon in Cancun. We had the privilege to visit the Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza. I grew up watching this movie as a kid and had no idea these ball fields actually existed in real life! The architecture was absolutely breathtaking which was one thing, but to stand in the middle and imagine 5-foot tall Mayan men compete for their lives by hitting a ball through a stone hoop 21 feet off the ground is incredible. For a kid's movie, it seems like they actually did their research, except in the real stories, I guess it was the man who scored the winning goal who was sacrificed. He would kneel in the middle of the field and get beheaded by the losing team's captain, as he himself proved that he was the only one fit enough to be sacrificed to appease the gods. His blood would soak the field and would seek to ripen the harvest for the coming season.

      Actually, it isn't known for sure who was actually sacrificed. There's different theories, and the winner being the one killed is actually one of the theories. But, it's also believed it could be the losing team or captain of the losing team. Whatever version you get to hear depends on the tour guide you end up with at Chichen Itza and other sites. I did the tour at Ek Balam and my guide explained it was the winner who was sacrificed. Then at Chichen Itza my guide said it wasn't known for sure and explained the different theories. I heard other guides explaining the game to other groups and many of them confirmed that it wasn't known for sure but it seemed to fit for it to be the winner

    Fun fact: the ball was made of solid rubber and weighed an upwards of ten pounds. Imagine hitting a flexible bowling ball with your hip and head and trying to aim for a hoop 20 feet off the ground, not to mention needing to wear some armor (because you didn't want to fricking die), and having a small chance of being sacrificed if you lost (and I do mean a very small chance).

      I certainly don't know how accurate this is, but I recall reading originally the WINNERS would be sacrificed, but they quickly realized that didn't really motivate either team to try very hard. Once it became the LOSERS who'd be put under the knife that they starting putting everything into it.
