apocalypto

apocalypto... another film from Mel Gibson that runs in a language extinct long before( if u care the name of the language is yucatec... a Mayan dialect) , the only point where it collide with his previous film "passion of the Christ"... otherwise its yet an another bouncer from Mel Gibson... which leaves both the critics and the other time pass movie watchers

bewildered...

bewildered... that's the correct word... the critic may find it comfortable to thrash it out as Mel Gibson took the liberty to deviate a lot from the (idiotic) historic accuracies...

the routine film goers also may find it difficult to digest the gore blood sheds and also the erratic way the screen play travels...

according to me this movie is a master piece...

Master pieces never meets the expectation, but deliver something extremely unexpected...

to put the story simple...Jaguar Paw(Rudy Young blood) a tribal of a small Mayan community was captured by savage Mayan warriors who enslaves all the men to sell them to priest from human sacrifice...(the sacrifice was a very simple procedure... after chanting some mantras priest will cut the heart out and then will behead the dead body...just for a head count, anyway you cant blame Mel... history confirms there was similar practice in Mayans)... before being captured he hid his pregnant wife and his kid in a deep hole promising them that he will come back to save them...

anybody who wanna to take lesson how to shoot a continuous action sequence extending more than an hour without slightly lagging in pace, without being slightly predictable and to put every frame visually stunning... they have to watch this film again and again and again...

and another high point of the movie is the Mexican actress Dalia Hernandez, who plays the wife of Jaguar paw... she is quiet beautiful and strangely she can act too... she make her debut in this film...mm mm... really i should watch her closely, how she moves from here... after an lucky high octane launch pad!

my marks: 56 out of 100
