In 2004, Mel Gibson created a feeling (and a living confrontation as soon as it passes …) by consciousness of Christ’s passion; The historical fresco was dedicated to the last hours of Christ in Aramaic and Latin. It is understandable to say that the company was bold, it was only for the chosen language. The result was an absolute triumph in theaters, with more than $ 612 million in the world cashier.
Almost three years later, this time the filmmaker put his suitcase in Mexico to provide a version of the fall of the Mayan Empire. And what mastery! The apocalypto was also the last film he signed before he had a very long vacuum in the process, due to his personal discontent, which unfortunately is subject to parts of various facts …
Against the backdrop of apocalypse and human sacrifice, which was large -scale, Gibson delivers a visceral, sensory film, with rare visual energy, sometimes with a completely crazy framework (waterfall sequence!) For his credo, it is true that Gibson wanted to write dialogues this time and declare in the Mayan dialect: Yucatèque. Guaranteed effect.
You can smile at dubious historical bias from Gibson. But the form, especially staged, is especially supported by strong casting, in the middle of which Rudy Yangbol appears in the title, is a great movie. Once again showing how Gibson is told outside of his peers.
