  • The Temple Pyramid of Kukulkan … Apocalypto … 2006


    Apocalypto Soundtrack / Words Through the Sky / james-horner

    “No one can outrun their destiny”

    Wrong.
    Anybody can. 

    If you know how.

    Must have been a very tough movie to make:
    Jungle, mosquitoes, snakes, all kinds of crap/challenges/obstacles.
    But it’s a good movie.
    Graphic in places (of course). Mel never holds back on the heavy stuff:
    Braveheart, Passion of the Christ, Hacksaw Ridge …
    Made in 2006. And since we’re making discoveries about the Maya everyday,
    (I’m not confident we’ll ever get a handle on them)
    it’s pretty hard to get everything right.
    This is NOT a documentary however.
    Unusual Cast. N
    o Yul Brynners or Elizabeth Taylors here. Most unknown.
    Yet they do a very good job. Let’s give a nod to Director Mel for that.
    Visually stunning.
    Rewatchable.
    Excellent job.  

    Movie Making. Easy as pie.

    No coughing!

    The eyes of a child.

    The ways of Men.

    Mayan Blue.

    Something’s coming …. 

    Something not good …

    About as bad as you can get.

    Cometh butchers …
    In guise of Gods. 

    But the Maya have never died.
