Apocalypto

To all Movie Buffs,

I am back again with another review. To celebrate my academic achievement, we went to catch the show, directed by Mel Gibson, Apocalypto.

Sypnosis

Set in the Mayan civilization, when a man's idyllic presence is brutally disrupted by a violent invading force, he is taken on a perilous journey to a world ruled by fear and oppression where a harrowing end awaits him. Through a twist of fate and spurred by the power of his love for his woman and his family he will make a desperate break to return home and to ultimately save his way of life.

To me...

This is a show of one individual wanting to survive and how his love for his wife and kids that gives him the strength and power to overcome all odds. This show is in the native Maya language, but with English subtitles. It is a bit bloody (hence it is rated M18 - i.e. only for audiences 18 and above).

The movie started off showing how a tapir was being hunted and how the people dig out the heart, meat and lungs of the tapir and eat it fresh...

Though it may be bloody.. sometimes, caused you to feel irk... This movie also depicts that one's determination and hunger for success will definitely come true regardless of what circumstances you are in. There are a few interesting and meaningful phase that I want to share with you..

"Fear is a disease... it strikes from your heart""
"Raise up the spirit... Believe you have the strength"

Want to learn some Maya language... see Apocalypto..

My ratings...
