APOCALYPTO (2006) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION 

Surprised more people don't react to this masterpiece!

I always had massive respect for the guy who played Zero Wolf in this movie (the scary leader guy whose son dies at the hand of Jaguar Paw). He does an amazing job of being intimidating with very little dialogue. You really understand just how badass this guy is just from his presence alone.

The first time I watched this, I had a copy from the high seas with no subtitles. It was one of the best viewing experiences of my life Even not knowing exactly what they were saying the story and struggles came across as so realistic and understandable. A village raided by a group of outsiders is one of the most primal stories mankind has, it's a fear that every culture on earth has dealt with in their time, but in Mesoamerica the stakes were much higher. Fantastic film.

Por fin otra reacción a ésta película, como cuesta que vean ésta joya...😊😊

I saw this with my woman on our first date and it was the best movie at the theaters because at that time we didn’t speak the same languages and this movie was in ancient Mayan. The subtitles aren’t really needed back in 2006. But we were also young and in love so anytime together was good

It's on of the greatest movies of all time, sad it doesn't get the love it deserves. Fun fact: the actors and actresses just 1 or 2 are known for some, the rest are amateur and some are not even actors i don't know how Mel Gibson did this, it's insane.

Those were wasps or hornets, and unlike bees, the can sting you repeatedly without dying, and also very aggressive and territorial. They can actually descimate a whole bees nest. With ❤ from Botswana 🇧🇼 Africa. P.S. you probably heard Kukulkan from the movie Wakanda Forever, that’s what Mbaku called Neimur.

A true masterpiece in the cinematic history. Inspired and influenced by other ''chase'' movies like ''The Most Dangerous Game'' (1932), ''The Naked Prey'' (1965) & ''The Big Gundown'' (1966). Greetings from The Netherlands

Thank you for this awesome reaction! 1:02 This animal is not a boar, it´s a tapir.

Glad you watched a classic underrated gem 💎

I enjoy you calm reflexion afterwards a lot.

Hands down my favorite movie!!! Soo many people need to put this on there hit list❤❤❤❤😊

Incredible film

I saw a reaction to this once and the end they said, "oh are they missionaries?" I laughed SO HARD.

Great reaction to a great movie! Just one little thing: it's not a boar, it's a tapir, totally different species which is actually more related to horses and rhinos than to pigs.

Amazing movie. I dont like Mel Gibson but as a Mexican person, it was really amazing to see this ancient civilization brought to life. Especially because they used actors that had ancestors from this time and spoke the language (many people still do in Mexico). The actors werent even actors but they were phenomenal. I put it off for a long time because when I was like 7 or 8? I went to the movies with my mom, I saw Cat Woman and she went to see this one; mine was done first so I went to sit next to her not knowing what this movie was... I walked in right when theyre doing the sacrifices up on the pyramid.. I was traumatized. I remember being SO scared thinking it was real because this white lady was crying her eyes out right next to me lmfao. Imo, its not one of those movies I would watch again in full but its one of those that I think everyone should watch..

TRAE DOLOR LA HISTORIA, PERO NOS HACE SENTIRNOS ORGULLOSOS DE QUIENES SOMOS SALUDOS DESDE ARGENTINA 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷

Kukulkan was the name of the Sea Man in the Last Black Panther Movie

26:41 - dad revenge guy. So many times we see this kind of behavior. Some a**hole is abusive, violent: a mob boss, a king, a husband, a boss, some person with some form of power in their own situation: they have no problem being a complete selfish bully to other people- whoever happens to be weaker than them. But if they are slighted, then it's revenge time. I killed your whole village for fun, but you killed my son, so now it's personal. Narcissistic behavior. I matter, and you don't. It's a tale as old as human history, sad to say. One of the very worst forms of hypocrisy.

That film had me twinged up. Brilliant

Jungle Bee's 😂😂😂 awwww

My favorite Mel Gibson movie since Braveheart ❤

Regarding the eclipse. It is done very subtly and without words so it’s easy to miss if you aren’t paying close attention. But go back and watch the looks the king and the priest give each other. They were 100% expecting it. Mayans were expert astrologists.

this is a really good movie.

Gibson may have a few cylinders that need to be tuned, but he is one helluva director. Should've won Best Director for this.

Ryl has a sweet set of sweater kittens!

y'all heard the wrd kulkulkan from wakanda forever, that's namors name, he's named after the Mayan god

Nilze!. one of my fav movies that i dont get tired of watching. Kukulkan might be familiar from the marvel movie.. Its a real deity from the Yucatec Mayas that was worshipped.. The Spaniards conquistadores would have been the real Apocalypse.. I love that Jaguar paw told his family not to approach the new strangers and to go into the jungle.. There are still a few number of tribes in Mex and southern countries with indigenes Mayen and Aztec roots.. Most still fight for their land as of today from the corrupts gov and cartels. Los Zapatistas or the EZLN keep fighting for their freedom and land.

This is the 3rd film I've watched your reaction to, I really like your reactions, very sensitive and wise. This is not an easy movie to watch, but it is pretty amazing.

At the beginning , it is a Tapir.

33:20 They are wasps. Much worse than bees. And also, they are jungle-wasps as you say.

1:06 Actually it is a Tapir.

The Tlaxcalans saw the Spaniards as an opportunity to ally with them and use their advanced technology, such as firearms and cavalry, in order to defeat their Aztec enemies. By joining the Spanish in the conquest of Mexico, the Tlaxcalans were able to take revenge on the Aztecs and secure their independence and autonomy in the region. Thanks to their support for Spain, the Tlaxcalans obtained benefits such as the recognition of their territory as an autonomous entity within the viceroyalty of New Spain.

Your post-film discussion was interesting, and I agree with some of the points you two made. On the balance, I do think mankind is happier in that setting. I wouldn't really agree that it's "more peacful," seeing as how your entire tribe could get rounded up, stabbed in the heart, and beheaded. But at least everyone had purpose. That's the thing that people miss. In mass society, people fill very niche roles, wheras in small societies, everyone does a little of everything. As mass society progresses, the logic extends to an insane degree, to the point where virtually everyone is doing nothing but some dumb mundane task every day. Very few infants die, and most people live to 80. But huge portions never really live.

En esa película está toda historia delos mayas 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽

Love watching you guys react

Say what you want about Mel Gibson. The Man knows how to make a great movie.

Thats how it was in rhw pre conquest days..........BTW. Mel Gibson found Mayan speakwrs for rhe film ......

Human sacrifice in the pre-Columbian world was a religious practice performed in the context of certain cults of the indigenous peoples of America. This practice was prohibited by the Spaniards a few years after their arrival in America. A great diversity of documents and stories are corroborated by abundant archaeological and historical evidence. Archaeology since the 20th century provides clear evidence of its widespread practice in Mesoamerica.

I don't think this masterpiece needs a sequel. We already know what happens once the guys on the ships show up.

If you guys fancy something a bit more light hearted; funny with great music and legendary musicians, could I suggest the blues brothers, I think it would be popular with your audience? 😊

You skipped the only words in the movie the story it is the best part when the old man tells about how man has a hole in his heart

Sad there isn't a sequel.

The people on the ships weren’t in danger. Those Spanish colonizers later recruited the tribes who had been victims of the Maya’s sacrifices and combined them with their small group of fighters to invade and destroy that entire civilization They were the destruction that the little girl referred to

The first "savages" meeting the Europeans were the lucky ones. The first have been seen with curiosity and maybe they could have had some future. The other ones later, they got harder. The last one got nothing because their entire civilization was doomed.

Hes part of a tribe who got destroyed by the aztecs, thats why at the end he says "they bring more men", hes supposed to become one of the indigenous people who joined the spanish to defeat the aztec empire

I love how Mel Gibson, a devout Catholic, shows Christianity arriving to save all the heathens in the end. Now everything will be ok...

You should watch all Mel Gibson directed movies A man without a face Braveheart Passion of the christ Hacksaw Ridge

Love ya Jyn, you're looking beautiful as always

It's what people did to other people back then. Even to their own. And when they got big enough they did it to other, foreign people. Even the "civilized" Greeks did this. It's also how Africans ended up in Europe and America. Small tribes were enslaved by larger tribes and were sold as slaves. When the Europeans set foot in Africa, the African warlords figured out that they could make some good profit by selling their own people to them because by that time the Europeans had stopped enslaving their own people, but they still needed slaves. Of course they don't teach this in schools. The Europeans in turn gave them guns and so they could do it more easily. This is why warlords still exist in Africa

The best movie

Most people wont read and will never get this film.

Mel Gibson may be all sorts of things, but he's also a brilliant director. This is a brutal masterpiece. The Mayan Empire was no joke.

My dad: “ why are you watching a movie you can’t even understand” Me: I understand everything

Every actor/actress in this film gave an Oscar worthy performance it's crazy. Mel Gibson is my favorite director.

HOLY SHIT! Apocalypto?? This movie is amazing.

You have to admit Mel Gibson's movies they can hit you hard emotionally and visually even some brutal scenes, but they always end with hope. You guys mentioned you heard "Kulkukan" somewhere, it might of been recently from Wakanda Forever because Namor was also known as Kulkukan, at least in the movie. Originally Kulkukan was the name for a feathered serpent Mayan god. The Aztecs also had a serpent god Quetzalcoatl and known to catch their enemies and sacrifice them later.

Mel Gibson said research for this movie revealed evidence of brutality far beyond what is shown here. This is actually a 'tame' depiction. What I like most about this movie is Jaguar Paw's unwavering goal of survival, never giving up.

The priest knew about the eclipse. The Mayans were good at math and astrology-He was using the eclipse to manipulate the people. The higher ups, the priest and the king knew the human sacrifices were useless, but they used them to control the people amidst the crop blight.

This movie has been one of my favorites for so long! I'm glad to see others experiencing it ❤

The white stuff the slaves were mining was limestone used for construction. It’s very abrasive to the respiratory system, hence the coughing up blood.

Esta película es una obra maestra del cine.

This movie is one on my top ten movies of all time !

28:20 fun fact they tied a real jaguar and had the actor actually run away from it (the actor is super fast in real life)

such an amazing film! i've seen an iconic photo from behind the scenes making of it, it shows Mel in the river up to his neck, while he's directing the actors when they are being taken hostage. another great reaction! 👍

The priests doing the sacrifices would have known the solar eclipse was coming and when: the Maya were very advanced astronomers. They kept aspects of their knowledge secret to hold power and control over the masses, even the nobility. Nothing new or unique there; religion has excelled at that for thousands of years.

I say this on every reaction I watch of this movie but I never get nightmares from movies. This movie gave my wife and I nightmares me for several nights. I came across it on Pluto Tv and was gonna turn it on around halfway through just to have something on tv but my wife said hell no absolutely not 😆. Thrill ride of a movie for sure!

Ryl looking at you like, "I'm not watching another f*cking movie with you" 😂😂

I call the jaguar "the reluctant warrior" because of the choices it makes, how it uses its jaguarness. Humans who have lived or worked with jaguars all acknowledge the power, fierceness, and savagery of the animal and, at the same time, its non-aggressive nature towards humans. 💯😃👍

Looking forward to this. They're slowly becoming my favorites. I enjoy their sense of humor.

This movie is a masterpiece. ❤

one time i was on a bus tour, and the guide actually said "The Americas were a place of peace before the white man arrived" lol Not defending any colonizer, but since the dawn of man, we humans have been tribal, territorial, violent, and will fight for territory, resources, power, women, etc... I burst out laughing when the tour guide acted like the history of evil began in the 1400s, and everything was fine and chill before then.

Such an amazing film. There's been so many films that try to do something similar but it always comes out looking fake. This feels very real and SCARY. Just imagine if you had to direct something like this, the undertaking. Only a few directors can tackle it. Mel Gibson is amazing.

“Yeah, they’re jungle bees..!” 😂👍

Some other Native classics are Thunder Heart, Smoke Signals, & Windtalkers.... Apocalypto is one of the newest films, and Reservation Dogs just finished its final season

One of the finest films I've ever seen. I went into this pretty blind, wondering what the heck Mel Gibson was doing with a film about Meso-American tribesmen. It's a masterpiece of the highs and lows of humanity, in a setting that very few film-goers have any understanding of.

Great reaction ladies. This is one of my favourite movies of all time.

This is one of my favorite movies!

The best movie ever! I'll never get bored watching this movie..

An ALL TIME favorit movie of mine LOVED IT ! 🤪

I love this movie 😭🙌🏼 also Kukulkan was from Black Panther Wakanda Forever , Namors name.

This is one of my mom and I's favorite movies I don't watch it often but I remember every single scene lmao

Hey u two! luv ur channel...Apocalypto is a genius film, so good and heartbreaking too..Epic film. enjoy😊👍Much luv from Ireland🍀💚

The fighter named Middle Eye (Gerardo Taracena) is the most terrifying in appearance 🥶🥶🥶.

One of the greatest movies ever made.

"they're jungle bees", that was funny! And the end of the movie shows the Spaniards coming to the New World. To destroy the culture of the indigenous people. A sad time in world history. Great reaction to an awesome film, ladies! Looking forward to your next movie 🎥🍿👍

The Inca worshipped the sun god, they believed it to be the ancestor of the Incas. Inti was at the head of the state cult, and his worship was imposed throughout the Inca empire. He was usually represented in human form, his face portrayed as a gold disk from which rays and flames extended.

This movie is not an easy watch and I am glad you could still enjoy it. This was a dangerous world like you said, and the reason the Europeans were able to conquer it is in addition to having guns that they brought another weapon they did not even know they had. It's estimated that up to 90% of the native people were wiped out by new diseases they had no immunity to; even chicken pox and measles were fatal as well as small pox and many others. I highly recommend a book called 1491: New Revelations of the World Before Columbus which is about how the native people lived just before and during their first encounters with the newcomers.

Hey Jyn and Ryl how y’all ladies doing today?? ❤️Yes I love this freaking movie Apocalypto I watched this so many times over the years and probably one of the best gruesome films ever back in 2006!! That panther scene is legendary & brutal. My family and I always watch this together. Yes it was directed by Mel Gibson and he also directed the Christian drama, The Passion of the Christ (2004) yall both should reacted to this movie as well & Jim Caviezel’s performance was absolutely phenomenal ✝️

9:10 "I didn't expect so much violence" Directed by Mel Gibson

It's a unique movie, even if it takes a lot of liberty with some historical details (such as mixing different periods of Mayan culture, and depicting mass sacrifice that was more common with the Aztecs as far as we know, etc.). It has a good story though, and as gruesome as it is, it is well worth watching. Thank you for your reaction!

22:43 Actually, they were expecting the eclipse. They knew when the eclipse would happen, and used this whole performance as a way to control & rule people. 27:45 "So cute" :D 38:14 Those ships are the real apocalypto.

You should watvh the documentary that explains how they put all the elements together to make this film the masterpiece it is!

What Apocalypto lacks in fidelity to the known archeological record, it more than makes up for with action. The men on the ships at the end are more or less supposed to represent Hernán Cortés (1485-1547), the Spanish Conquistador who led the expedition in 1519 that toppled the Aztec Empire. Cortes landed at Veracruz in July and marched on Tenochtitlán (aka Mexico City) in August. His forces included 600 soldiers, 15 horsemen, and 15 cannons. Cortés made alliances with the enemies of the Aztecs during the march. Apocalypto shows the various motivations behind the regional animosity towards the Aztecs.

Hell yeah you girls picked a good one. Ive always loved this movie. That uppercut with that club was awesome and the beautiful cloud of mist that comes off his head...F that guy he deserved it haha

Love this flic. Mel Gibson directed masterpiece !

I remember watching for the first time. I was completely mesmerized by it. I love how strong the mom and little boy were. You are left wondering how it would go for their little family.

and a curious fact, the chase with the jaguar is real, (logically the black panther "jaguar" was tied )up but the actors ran in front of it to make it look real, I imagine that if a panther is following you your expression will do the most real possible, even if it is tied up !! 🤣😂🤣

Thank you for your reaction to this masterpiece film. Happy New Year!

Definitely, a masterpiece movie 👍👍
