Week 13 : Apocalypto Film Review

APOCALYPTO

Last Wednesday, my classmates and I were watching a movie titled Apocalypto. I was excited to watch the movie because I heard it is awesome. And it was right. I enjoyed watching the movie. 

The story began with a group of native people went for hunting. While they were eating, Jaguar Paw heard something and it was a group of people who was searching for a new port. Their lands were ravaged and asked for permission to pass through the jungle. 

The next morning, warriors entered the village and tried to burn the huts. Jaguar Paw took a quick action to save his pregnant wife and son to stay into a deep cave. He came back to help the village and there was nothing much that he could saved on. Sadly, he had to watch his father being killed in front of his eyes. 

Later, warriors brought him and other alive villagers to other place. On their way, there's a man, who's getting weak and looked like dying, tried his best to continue walking until he lost his energy at a cliff, and it's nearly took Jaguar Paw's life because they were sharing same pole. It made Middle Eye, who's responsible to guard them, impressed on his ability and strength. I was like.. Wow he's really something. 

Here is the part which made my heart bumping so fast. They were brought to the top of pyramid where the King had to cut out their beating hearts. When it comes to Jaguar Paw's turn, all of a sudden, a solar eclipse occured. The King and its citizen tought the sun god Kukulkan is satisfied with the sacrifices. 

At first I thought, yes he's alive and now he'll be free. But my thought was wrong. Zero Wolf took the captives to a ball court. Here the captives were released in pairs and at the same time the warriors were shooting at them. However at the end of the field, there's a man named Cut Rock waiting to hit them from being escaped. Jaguar Paw and his partner did well at first, but then he's been shot in stomach while his friend through the head by an arrow. Jaguar Paw still continued to survive and managed to kill Cut Rock and ran into jungle. The warriors chased him and but he's still maintained his spirit to stay alive. 

Amazingly, a black jaguar helped him and killed a warrior. Running and running til there's no way ahead made him to jump high waterfall. It was a crazy decision. We never knows what's going to happen if we jump. Luckily he's able to cross the river and the other warriors failed to jump and died. He ran straight to save his family, he was surprised because he received a baby. Trapped in a hole filled with water with no way out she had no choice but to give birth and in a split second her husband appeared and they were free. 

In a conclusion, I love the ending of the story. Overall, he is a good husband, great warrior who has high spirit to fight the enemies.
In addition, from my personal point of view, I think Jaguar Paw is good looking. Hehehe. I would love to watch this movie again in the future. It was a great movie after all!
