This movie Apocolypto is a couple years old, and might have already been discussed on here, but I just saw it and WOW, what an awesome movie.
Anyone know how true the representation of the cultures was portrayed? Man what a great visual movie. each new face and image got weirder. Watched it twice in a row; going to watch it again. Cool stuff, what a kill or be killed environment that was.
I love the "wide receivers" scene ;D
You talking about towards the end when they make them run towards the corn field? Brutal sh#t:o That's some fun game:rolleyes:Quote:

I havent seen this for awhile, but I remember at the end it shows a European or Spanish ship or something? That's when you know the whole civilization is about to get fucked
I don't know. I loved it. Scary; not horror movie scary, but just frightening in its brutality. JMO.Quote:

Yeah those boys didn't let a person get out of place....period. Dudes pretending to be PBA professionals; bowling heads down the temple stairs:-\
Yeah man we learnt about this last year in uyni for some reason, they had to get this hard as fuck ball in the hoop without the use of either all your limbs or just your legs like soccer. But either way these guys were insane, people getting cracked skulls from heading the ball. Plus if it was on a ritual day the losing team were sacrificed. I would much rather have been a fatty in those days haha.Quote:

I've been learning about all sorts of Mayan (and other indigenous peoples) cultural practices and societal conventions, very interesting stuff.Quote:

10,000 BC was fucking terrible and horribly inaccurate. It's nothing more than an action/fantasy movie. The plot/story line sucked too.
10,000 BC :plthumbsdown:
Gotta see this movie!
