Jaguars Paw, never goes to find the other villagers, because they had already been captured. The one who handed over the fish (from his nightmare) was the one who died, running with him.
I think he might be referring to all the children who were left behind when they were captured. Hopefully the mother-in-law of that other guy went to them after no one would buy her from the slave trader.
Infact
The Mayans were actually good astronomers back then and could predict eclipses. They had a very accurate calendar also. If you ever go to Mexico, you should check out the Mayan ruins.
you mean some of them.. the majority werent
Negative that's false
i dont see them going to the moon
Yep lol
That's a lie because the reason they were tricked out of their resources was because of an eclipse. If they knew what it was they wouldn't have ben fooled by Spanish Sailors
This movie should have won the oscar that year. Mel Gibson also as Director.
Liberal Hollywood is too woke, for the truth.
Yea he should have won something. But they don't like Mel so 🤷🏾♂️
@@travisstrickland7270 yeah the oscars is a club for friends of the family
@@addemup that has nothing to do with his work... The Oscars do not choose whose is the kindest person but who made the best movie...
@@addemup I’m not arguing in favor of Mel because he has some terrible aspects, but they give awards to pedophiles and that is worse and indicative that they truly don’t care about who is a decent human being.
You can watch this movie a thousand times and it's going to be stressful yet rewarding EVERY TIME. Mel Gibson is a maniac but he does his job so well.
And anti semetic!
@@kennethterryterry7639 🤣🤣🤣
Hes no a maniac hes just a badshit drunk
@@kennethterryterry7639 lol
@@kennethterryterry7639 Nothing wrong about that.
This movie is excellent. The ending is so crazy with the conquistadors arriving. They have absolutely no clue what's coming. Gotta be one of the craziest endings.
It certainly made the point that the natives were just as human -- loving, hateful, vicious, kind, crazy and rational and everything in between -- as the Europeans that staggered off their vomit-encrusted boats and insisted to the locals that they were in India. The natives were certainly not found sitting around campfires singing "Kumbaya". They slaughtered and enslaved each other like everybody else. As my Dad often said, 'People are people wherever you go'. Even in a pristine South American rain forest in the late 1400's.
Don't let them get off of the boat
Colonization. One of the greatest evils in human history.
@@Miesque1973 but i wanted the innocent Indians to survive
@@Tehui1974 don’t think that word means what you think it does
The usage of the Myan language lent such a sense of authenticity, you felt like a time traveler watching it unfold!
Ain’t been a movie like this since
I can't believe none of the cast weren't actors, cause the acting was one of the best I've seen
Except the one that was Zero Wolf, the main bad guy, his name is Raoul Trujillo and he is actually American and been on a ton of movies.
Some of them were. Not all.
Some of them were and are actors there was a mixture
The one who plays the villain Raoul Trujillo has been in many movies but mostly secondary characters, although I found movies he was in since 1991, look for his name and you'll see how many movies he was in (51) and I I learned that he is a choreographer of aboriginal dances
What are you talking about? There are many actors in this movie. Rudy Youngblood played Jaguar Paw... Aquetzali García was the oracle girl (the prophecy)...
Many more actors! Great deal were actual villagers but there were over 30 actors.
A reaction which I can only describe as "innocent". The reactor's immersion in the story of Jaguar Paw was a delight to watch.
Pre-liked because it's Kabir and I love this movie.
Thanks Ninja ☺️ this movie was a crazy experience!
@@kabirconsiders Agreed! I don't care much for Mel Gibson as a human bean, but boy can that man make a movie or what!
Same. ✌️
Same
Same here. I love his reactions.
They told Rudy Young blood that they had to do the scene after the waterfall dive ,but they'd dug the quicksand pit and DIDN'T TELL HIM IT WAS THERE, so when he fell in he thought it was REAL quicksand and thought he was really going to die, because Mel Gibson wanted a realistic reaction; when he climbed out he was really, REALLY, pissed!
So Mel Gibson was going to let someone die in quicksand for a movie? I'm guessing they shot it in one take
This is one if my favorite movies all time, so glad you liked it.
This is one of my favorite movies. I recently learned my buddy's dad was an extra in some scenes.
It was so well made, the cast was fantastic
@@kabirconsiders Mel really did his homework
This movie is incredible, it’s horrifying and beautiful at the same time. Mel Gibson is a great director.🔥👍
outstanding!!
I'd like to add that I would love to see how these "tribal people" look normally. They look absolutely genuine in the film with their tattoos, piercings, and super convincing costumes.
It all looked so authentic, I was so immersed
Not to mention actually speaking Mayan. Did you know that it is still a living language?
@@servantofmelian9966 It's more like 20 to 30 Languages. "Mayan" as such doesn't exist. There are languages that find their root in Mayan. Like French, Spanish, Romanian Portuguese and Italian are related to Latin, and you could (in theory) with patience hold a conversation with either and be understood by the other (it's not a 1 for 1 comparison of degree, just an idea representation. Mayan languages stride the thin line between fully fledged languages and dialects). That being said, while they "look" genuine, the costumes are not. One of the biggest (valid) critique the movie got was confusing cross-overs between Mayans and Aztecs (ina rchitecture, costumes, etc seen on set).
Shit I'm Mayan. I can send you a picture of myself 😂
@@user-sw4id8mw6r Did you sacrifice anyone lately?
I love Mel Gibson’s movies. Hacksaw Ridge, Braveheart and this one. So good. This was incredible. Such incredible action, acting, story. Thought using the ants as stitches was great. Great reaction Kabir.😍
"At the Edge of Darkness", "Get the Gringo", "Bloodfather". Get the Gringo especially was a most pleasant suprise. But all very good.
Sorry, just "Edge of Darkness"
35:52 "Those villagers from the start of the movie" were also captured. He was the guy that said, "The Earth bleeds".
That wasn't a jaguar that his wife killed in the pit. It was a baboon or something like that.
It was a howler monkey
Same, I think was a monkey
Kabir, my dude. Did you not realise that those villagers from the beginning were captured along with them? The one who he was running with towards the corn was the same one who gave them the fish and who he had dreamed about.
Yeah, I kept wondering what villagers he was talking about. I thought maybe he meant the kids that got left behind at the river, but apparently he didn’t recognize the guy with the fish at the beginning was the one who was running with him, before he got shot through the mouth.
One of the most underappreciated movies of our time. Great , great movie! I enjoyed your reaction. Can't wait to see you do some more.
This movie was/is a masterpiece, but I didn't realize how INTO THE BLOOD and GUTS you got! Cheering the jaguar, every death. Great reaction!
You mentioned reuniting with the villagers a few times, but there weren't any villagers. The only village we saw was Jaguar Paw's village and it was utterly annihilated. It was burned to the ground and literally everyone in it(aside from the children) were either killed or taken prisoner. Even the displaced survivors of the "ravaged" neighboring village were captured in the forest.
I've always wondered what happened to the captives that were behind Jaguar Paw.... could they have gotten away... it seemed all the hunters were on the chase for Jaguar... maybe someone else survived?
Thank you, I was surprised he didn't recognize the man that was fleeing earlier was tied up with Jaguar paw. Even when the little girl told the children from the fleeing village to come with her.
"beware the man that brings the jaguar." That was your hint right there that Jaguar Paw was going to survive and be the one to end the bad guys. Also, what was fighting over the hole the woman and child were in were two monkeys or apes of some kind. And the people from the beginning of the movie were found and captured along with the main group of people you see, the guy who told them their village was ravaged was the one running with Jaguar Paw trying to get away and getting shot with the arrow through his mouth.
The villagers he keeps referring to at the end of the movie were already captured. The main man who Jaguar Paw had the dream of was the one who had the spear go through the back of his head through his mouth. So there were no villagers to help him, but great review. People cry about the historical accuracy about all movies so this one is no different. But just like 300 and other movies that were based on true events that were good why bash them? They are movies not documentaries. This movie is a Masterpiece 10/10
"YEEEEAAAAH, GET IN THERE, FEAST,..."
We felt that same shit man.
Love the reactions, and this movie is a must-have in the collection.
Peace and blessings to you and your's.
I own this and would never give it up!
Truly a masterpiece. And a unique, truly original piece of filmmaking.
I click as soon as video started because I love this film and I know it's going to be a great reaction.
The Human sacrifices depicted where more that of the Aztec than the Mayans. The Mayans did human sacrifice but on a smaller scale, which is where the movie went wrong. They revered victims as gods, and they were more likely to toss you into a cenote than to carve your heart out. Mayan culture is really interesting if you ever get some time read up on it. Blood sacrifices were not done as sport, blood letting was considered integral to the life of everything. Usually the king and Queen would do a small blood letting from their own body most times for daily needs. These types of bigger sacrifices did not occur on a regular basis, only when things got dire. It was a means to petition their ancestors and the gods for rain, good harvests, and success in warfare. If you think there were brutal to each other the Conquistadors were just a brutal if not more so.
I'm not a fan of Mel Gibson's film but I absolutely loved this one. However, I recommended this film to someone once and was thoroughly rebuked for it, so this is not for everyone. Still, it drew me in like no other film.
This movie was so immersive. At times I literally felt like I was there, or watching a well made documentary. Mel should’ve won the Oscar for this
Same!
why were you rebuked?
It sounds like you ARE a fan of Mel Gibson's movies.
I don't understand how you couldn't be a fan of Mel Gibson's films, especially since he's transitioned to directing more than acting. He has a great eye for detail, in bringing historical stories to life, even if they're not all exactly historically accurate, he knows how to emotionally invest you into the characters. I would put Mel in the same class as Clint Eastwood, directorally speaking, although with a smaller filmography. But Clint also has almost 30 years on Mel.
It’s a movie you won’t soon forget or get over. I was on the edge of my seat through the entire movie.
What a tough movie this was to watch. I wanted to see you react to this, Kabir, but that meant that I had to see it for myself first. This movie was unexpectedly brutal for me. I lived in Mexico for a time almost 50 years ago (when I was a kid), and I loved going to see the ruins all around Mexico. At the time, I had no idea how bloody and brutal these past days were, and the sacrifice scenes were almost impossible to watch.
Oh Kabir, I absolutely loved watching you react to this movie. Your abhorrence of the treatment of another human and then checking yourself by saying you could not judge them by today’s standards. Also, being of indigenous Mesoamerican decent when I saw this movie I knew what was coming for the captured tribesmen because I was raised on those stories and how vicious the Aztec and Mayans were. It is an honest look, although not completely true, of how a stronger tribe makes weaker tribes into slaves. Then how you rooted for Jaguar Paw and his family was fantastic. I about died laughing when you flew the bird at your screen. Please continue with your honest reactions. I love watching you for those reasons.
This kind of stuff went on in the Ancient World as well! Humans are Barbaric .... And was still going on in Europe when they arrived in the"New World"!
Great video. A cool fact about this film is they hired actual natives from tribes that still live without modern technology and luxury. The two slave sellers are actually mayans and the woman was the language coach. The main characters father and the tall guy are from the same tribe. They are the only North American tribal people in this movie and the tall guy actually shocked everyone by his height. They did all their own stunts and Mel Gipson kept having to bribe people with ice cream and houses. For most the actors this was the first time they heard about this movie. The makeup team would get started at 11pm the night before getting everyone ready. That was actually jaguars. That baby was 3 days old and the actors actually ran from the jaguar. The guy they got to play King of the Maya took forever to cast but when 3 men from the docks was brought to Mel he choose the guy that almost looked Egyptian. They said, "the kind of guy that'd kill his brother for power and cold indifference"
Such an unexpected treasure. I was like you my first time, knowing absolutely nothing about the plot. The acting and costumes, everything was superbly done. And that ending...whoa!
I love this movie.
I highly recommend you react to “The Last of the Mohicans”. That last fifteen minutes or so is one of the greatest things put to film in my opinion.
That's the best ending of any movie!
Agree!
Excellent movie.
The Aztecs were a very ruthless empire. And the average Mayan and Aztec was actually higher then the average Spaniard. The average Spanish lifespan back then was about 30 to 40. 45 was pretty old. Crazy to think about. But the Mayans and Aztecs when dying of age "a good life" had usually a lifespan of 60 to 70. Up north with my and own indigenous roots of turtle island "north America, is what us Indigenous know as turtle island." Had life spans around the same. Sometimes both could live to 80 or longer depending on the tribe and the stories.
Lifespan averages also include infant mortality, so that can skew the numbers a bit. Somewhere around half of infants in premodern societies died before the age of 3. If a person survived to adulthood, they often had lifespans in the 70s and higher.
Native Gang.. Coushatta 🦾
I mean in ways sure. However many older cultures had very different ways of calculating their infant mortality rate. Greeks especially around sparta didn't keep many of their young. Edo and ming dynasties had similar approaches. It's hard to gauged such men and times by such a loose figment as infant mortality. As all cultures have engaged in such wicked acts of snuffing another nation out. Age in these times were very circumstance. Most folks of this age usually died of disease or killed. The average Spaniard actually wasn't much different. Between sickness and physical combat the south American people stood a better chance at living to an old age.
@@davidhasselblad2898 I wasn't calculating method of death. Whether it was natural causes or infanticide is not relevant to the statistic. Infanticide was often used if children were born too close together, as one example. It doesn't matter why or how. The fact remains that the infant mortality rate on its own was significantly higher than the adult mortality rate, which draws down the average. Adult individuals rarely died at age 35-40, comparatively speaking. 60-70 was the more common age range for people who reached adulthood. The numbers might be somewhat higher or lower when one looks at averages within specific groups, but overall, it evens out across the species.
@@mod850 Good points to be brought up in this kind of discussion. Good job. 👍
The white powder is limestone.
The actor who plays Jaguar Paw is an American, a Comanche and Cree from Texas. His name is Rudy Youngblood.
Apocalypto is one of the most intense and wrenching movies that you will ever see. I've watched it several times but still continue to spill my popcorn. The ending is superb with the arrival of the Spanish with all that that suggests. Although many of the actors were native Mexican or Indian, Roal Trujillo, the principal bad guy, is actually an American. The multi-talented Trujillo has over thirty years experience as a dancer, choreographer, director and actor. Many years ago there was a show on American TV that explained medical procedures using real doctors. A myth that was debunked on that show was the speed with which a Myan witch doctor (?) could remove a heart while it was still beating. I don't remember the time anymore, but it took a skilled heart surgeon more than several minutes to do it on a surgical practice dummy and he wasn't following standard procedure, if you know what I mean.
The Mayan were in Mexico and Central America. There’s pyramids in Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and Belize.
Mesoamericans noble and priests had an excellent knowledge of astronomy, and knew about solar eclipses and when they would happen. Common people did not, and their leaders used their ignorance and fear as a way to control them.
This movie may be exaggerated and inaccurate for the most part, but it is very entertaining.
They made a great choice by not casting big name actors. These actors sold their roles, and I can’t imagine anyone else playing them now.
Rudy Youngblood(main actor) is actually original American(Native American 🇺🇸). He’s an amazing actor.
I watched this movie twice when it came out when I was 14. My dad thought I was weird for liking it, but it is pretty amazing.
My friend isn’t in to moves with subtitles but I told her she wouldn’t really need or read as you can kinda already tell what would be said with what’s happening. Needless to say, she enjoyed it as must as I did the first time round 😊 also, the tribe at the beginning..was also rounded up. The little girl took their children too.
I remember seeing this movie for the first time in cinema in early 2007. It was so raw and real and seeing it in the big screen made it even more impressive. I was very interested in maya and aztec cultures in my teenage years and this movie really portrays their life so well.
I thought it came out early 2000s or late 1990s
this is based on the Aztec empire. funny how us Mexicans think were all Aztec off spring!!!😂 for all we know we come from other tribes !!
Jaguar Paw !!!!!!!!!!! My favorite character in cinematic history. JP was an og badass
Apocalypto didn't win any awards, I think it wasn't even nominated. Frankly, it is one of the best action/adventure films ever made. The academy is fickle, and sometimes is stuck on current socio-political trends, overly sensitive people in Hollywood, ect. Gibson really needs to make more movies, because as a director, he is absolutely top tier.
If memory serves this movie came out right after Hollywood started snubbing Gibson. He couldn't even get actors to work with him or else they were blackballed so he went to another country and picked a script that he didn't need any Hollywood actors for. And I think he made it using mostly his money. I think.
This is one of my all time favorite movies, absolutely!
It really caught my attention and held it, I loved it
A class act
Are you going to understand and that part of that jungle these men have grown up there they know every inch of it by hop they know it better than the back of their hand so of course they're going to know and hear a disturbance in there something that's not supposed to somebody that's not supposed to be there this is my favorite movie I can talk all day about it it shows family you know group dynamics everything just got action so awesome movie
It really is an awesome movie, Mel and the cast did a fantastic job!
The other tribe that came through with the fish,. They were also captured
The villagers at the beginning of the movie were taken as captives with them. They were waiting while the captures went and got them. The 1st guy sacrificed was the guy that gave them the fish.
Thats why the Oscars dont mean s**** or at least since the beginning of the 2000s, I adore Scorsese but there's no way The Departed is a better picture than this.
Dude I'm so glad you watched this! Such a great movie as to what life was like back then
Just to touch on a comment you made during the plague or sickness scene with the little girl.. this was actually an inaccuracy by Mel. Because the diseases and illnesses like small pox and such came when the Spanish conquistadors arrived. The Native American peoples of the Americas were actually very clean and very hygienic compared to Europeans.
One of my all time favorite movies !!
Great reaction
Excellent movie top shelf to me.
"How high up is it? Aaaaaaah!" - Yep, that sums up the hight pretty well.
Mankind on all continents was truly savage. We are lucky we live in times where we have all evolved
Such a good show! Thank you for watching with me!
When I was a kid I used to think the main character was Ronaldinho😂
😅😅😅
That was intense! Great reactions Kabir!
When I first saw it this movie was the first in a long time that kept my heart in my throat the whole movie. Great one.
the tribe that was ravaging other tribes wasnt doing it for their survival at all, they were just looking for slaves and sacrifices. and the first group of villagers that were escaping their ravaged lands were then caught and jaguars paw spoke to the villager he dreamt of
This would have taken place long after the Fall of The Mayan Empire, so the Mayans were in long decline by then, they also caused many ecological problems for themselves-But against common belief, the end of the Mayan Empire didn’t mean the end of the Mayans. The individual cities became their own states-So the Mayans were very much active at the time of Spanish conquest and its ensuing Hell. But as this movie showed, the Mayans made their own Hell, and rained it down on their neighbors too.
The Aztecs knew of the Spanish long before they met, because of rumors of the bloody Spanish dealings with the Mayans. I believe the Spanish were called demon soldiers or something by the natives. But the Aztecs themselves were thought nearly demonic by their subject folk too.
Ahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love that you picked up on the line, "I'm walkin here..." ahahahaha!
Whatever one might THINK of Gibson, it is knowledge of story structure is undeniable.
Best reaction to this film thus far. Very well done. It was a pleasure watching you enjoy this film.
Almost
Jaguars paw!
Hey man! As you can see, I´m from México, The Mayans, the first tribe you saw in the movie, they were not warrior or invaders, they were hunters, the tribe that came to capture them were (maybe) Aztecs. They were warriors, searching for victims to sacrifice to their Gods or for slavery.
The animal that fell in the hole wasn’t a jaguar😂. It was some type of monkey lol
Hell yeah I love that you’re reacting to this
I love how you basically repeated every line of dialogue for your blind viewers, that's awesome
Really enjoying your reactions
As always another great reaction.👍🏼
Love the reaction! A seminal film for sure.
In my top 5 ever. Excellent reaction. If you loved this react to Dances with Wolves. Its an epic. You won't be disappointed.
When historians visited the Ancient temples, they were astounded to find skulls on spikes surrounding the temples… hundreds of thousands of them
i like the rambo section and the end
Great reaction 🔥
This Movie is a Masterpiece! Great Reaction!
43:31 Ahhh, the "pink mist" - nice little realism detail. Almost!! hehe
I remember watching this movie at the cinema with my best friend. I loved this movie. I'm glad you enjoyed it too.
You talk about the struggles and brutality of life back then, BUT, the other day my phone wouldn’t charge. I had to wiggle the charger around for ages before it connected.
And I had to buy white chocolate cookies from the co-op earlier, because the milk chocolate ones had sold out.
So, you know, we’ve got it bad too.
2006 was a fairly good year for movies, this was the best of the lot.
I thought it was 2007
"This was a different time" ...i loved that moment when you thouth that!
Great reaction loved the movie 🎥 saw it when it came out 👍😎
I love this movie, fun fact the jaguar is on a tether and it is actually chasing the actor playing jaguar paws. Watch the making of this movie it is fun.
Pretty good reaction video 💯 I saw this in theaters when I came out I was like a teenager and it was pretty epic
I'm a native American. Both parents just saying but it's so great to hear you say not to go towards the ships
The man of the ravage village was the one trapped with him, the one who was running in zig zag with him
This is a 10/10 for me. Glad you enjoyed it.
1 of my favorite movies... Awesome pick Bro... Love ur channel keep doin U... &Always Remember, Don't Stress, Stay Blessed!!!
Much Love 4rm Hawai'i 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
One of my top five movies of all time.
Brilliant commentary -- insightful, articulate, and engaging enthusiasm. This is my first time here, but I am impressed.
Love this movie
i saw this around the same time you did but from a libary DVD and the 1st time I equested it the disk failed about half way through & i had to wait a couple weeks to get another copy to see the end :O
Thanks for the reaction. I think this is one of the most underrated movies, like... ever! No one does period-piece movies this far back with any perceived accuracy. You know, 16th century. Of course it's Mel Gibson so the family is compromised (Mad Max, Brave Heart, The Patriot, etc.) and the protagonist gets his revenge... "In this life, or the next." (Gladiator, not Mel Gibson but, you know) - Like you were saying, the actors in this are not well known so we don't see them as any other character than what they are. This movie is brutal and graphic and I love it. The little girl with the lesions on her skin, prophesies the eclipse and the coming of the 'Man Jaguar' is chilling and awesome. An interesting look into, perhaps what life might have been like in South America before the Conquistadors arrived with their technology and Christianity. Not explored very often in films. That's why I like this one so much. Fun reaction and I am glad you appreciate it. It deserves more recognition.
The villagers you kept thinking they would run into were tied to another of those poles and walking with them to be sacrificed.
A excelent film about the aztec culture . Good reaction
This is in my top 5 favorite movies Ever.
