Apocalypto, 2006

The genre of this movie is an action, thriller and drama. When the Mayan Civilization is prosperous, a man who is a young warrior of tribal society lives happily with his family. He is a son of patriarch, so will lead the village in the future. He is a young but wise and strong man because he escapes the danger by his wit and has strong fighting strength.

One day, hunting animals for a parturient wife, his little boy and tribe living together, he and his companions are warned by a frightened outsider to beware of invaders. After coming back home, he eats tasty food and has a good time with the tribe, but in next morning the invaders composed of cruel warriors make an attack on the tribe, slaughter them, and walk   young people off by force to their kingdom. When he also is taken hostage, his wife and son are hiding in a deep well. Sadly, he loses many friends while he goes to the kingdom. He arrives at the kingdom, then women are sold into slavery and men are offered as a sacrifice to a god. When he is about to be offered as a sacrifice, a total solar eclipse suddenly takes place in the sky. He manages to escape from the kingdom, but he kills a son of invader’s head in the process. The invaders pursue him on the run. Unfortunately, when it’s started raining, his wife raises their son on her neck and she feels contraction in the deep well.

 

This movie is very interesting, but I think it’s very unfortunate that primitive tribes should confront large civilizations. Something similar still happens in every corner of the world.    

Anyway I like watching thriller movies, so I would like to recommend this movie to person who likes to watch thriller or horror movie.
