Have you seen Apocalypto?


Great fucking movie

I saw it twice and enjoyed it, but it's not that rewatchable.

It has a bunch of messages I like.

1. People are retards. Their society was the product of morons.

They wasted so much time murdering people because I suppose it was thrilling for them and that turned into delusions that the thrilling murders were significant mystically.

If you notice, and know about the gangs in Mexico, they still murder HUGE numbers of people to the point where it's outrageous. It's a cultural thing that did not die.

2. I liked the ending because it had a double meaning. Here come the Spanish!!

On one hand, the Spanish came and destroyed that insane culture.

On the other hand, the Spanish were also insane and tortured and murdered the shit out of the people.

In The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, Tuco the loser character, sees Eastwood go into a sheriff's office and comes back with the sheriff, then he says, "One Bastard goes in---and Two Bastards come out!" and that's what happened in the end of this movie.
