While sleeping at my parents house I had awaken and couldn’t go to sleep due to all the unfamiliar noises that echoed throughout the entire house from the basement where I attempted to rest. In turn, I powered up the television and began to browse the channels for something amusing. While in search for a title that would catch my eye and keep me interested at my drowsy state I came across a well known movie that had been released approximately 3 years ago by the name of Apocalypto. I immediately sat up and began to devote all my attention to it because I had been longing to see this movie ever since it first premiered. I heard numerous accounts of vividly depicted scenes from the movie, mainly concerning the prehistoric traps, heart throbbing action scenes, and gruesome acts of cruelty toward humankind. To sum it all up the movie is basically about a Mayan civilization of Central America, and its extreme situation of being overthrown and wiped out by a neighboring tribe. The movie keys in on a young Native American male of that time who was one of the individuals/men that were saved by the attacking tribe for their believed to be righteous purposes of killing humans for ritual/sanctimonious reasons. These acts were done in an attempt to please their supreme religious figure known as the Sun God. Once they entered the neighboring tribe, it is seen that the women were taken for the sole purpose of being sold as slaves, crops were failing, disease was prevalent, and the fate of the captives laid in the hand of an high minister awaiting the bodies of each individual at the top of a pyramid.
After so many murders and acts of cruelty, the movie ends with a series of battles and an ongoing pursuit between the abductors and the escaped captive and main character. The abductor’s and alternate focus of the movie is shifted from capturing and killing him to a large ship from a unknown land approaching the shore of where the pursuit ended. I honestly wondered what was the purpose behind the movie ending like this as oppose to showing a glimpse of what fate the abductors faced at the hands of the individuals arriving on the approaching ship. The ship was staged in a manner where the viewer would believe it was a slave ship, and because of this, I wonder, what impact it would have showing the surviving abductors being attacked and brutalized in the same manner?
