Apocalypto

This gruesome and insanely gripping movie was... I don't even know. I want to absolutely love it for it's on-par, bloody effects, but I don't because it's crazy Mel Gibson. I know that's a terrible thing to say, I shouldn't hold the movie responsible for his crazy actions as a person. I want to say that it was great. I loved every shocking moment. He really does seem to just go exactly where you'd expect and you're not upset about it. He truly brings to life the horror that was the Mayan culture. How gruesome the sacrifices they made to the gods were. It shows that these indigenous people truly believed that they were the people closest to god. That they were the people who were the prophets of time, that they shaped what was to come. It was in, I'm assuming, ancient mayan dialect so it was in subtitles. It was a good movie, it was very gripping, bewildering, and horrifying. Mel Gibson doesn't glorify these people and it shows in this movie or then again, portraying them like this only shows the gravity of the power they wielded.
