This is a great movie...but Mel Gibson himself has said it is not historical. He blends together the Maya and the Aztecs in many ways, so you guys will probably want to look up all the stuff that is wrong, just so you do not learn any false facts from this movie.✌

The jagged knife and the edges of their weapons is obsidian, sharper than a scalpel.

This movie was a brutal masterpiece. It was extremely violent but at the same time shows how close a family can be and how important family is.

This is one of my favorite movies. Even though this a mixture of cultures. Shows how violent the human race really is no matter the culture. Never about race, but which group is the strongest and powerful. I just finished a book called “The Empire of the Summer Moon” the rise and fall of the Commanche

Most of human history life was brutal and harsh. Death wasn't as feared as it is today. Mayan culture/religion was based on, not how you lived but how you died. There were several "heavens" and the highest level of heaven were reserved for women who died during childbirth, children, and those who died in battle.

The Spanish Arrival : When your Bad Day just got a whole lot Worse!

In answer to one question you guys had...according to IMDB "Mel Gibson claimed that Rudy Youngblood was genuinely running from the jaguar, which was only kept from reaching him by a tether."

I would love to see the four of you go to Yucatan Mexico to see where this was supposed to happen. It is quite an experience especially after seeing this movie. Vayan a Yucatan.

This movie is one of my favorites, it was because of it that I became quite interested in the history of Mexico and over time I realized historical errors, but it is still great.

The white powder is probably limestone for whitewash on buildings. Limestone has also been used on crops for improvement of soil.

lol the dude in green weren't lying when he said he'd die if he was one of those kids... he could barely handle the movie 😂

This Movie is a Masterpiece. Great Reaction Guys!

You guys have good chemistry! Loved watching the movie again with you.

Always enjoy your Reactions.

FYI the "White powder" is supposed to be "Lime" to make plaster to coat the outside of buildings It took tons of wood to heat the rocks enough to break them down by crushing Lot's of deforestation as a result

Amazing film I could only watch once - so brutal. Nature is red in tooth and claw🩸

The little girl they encountered in the jungle had small pox, indicating the Europeans had been there already ?

Mel Gibson is a frigging "beast" making RAW epic films !

So far all the reactors have missed the meaning of the arrival of the Spanish fleet and why Mel Gibson filmed it that way. First of all, that arrival is what saves Jaguar Paw when he's about to get killed on the beach at the last moment. Second, what Jaguar Paw and his family have ahead of them is a new beginning. Symbolism, the Spanish Fleet arrival is what saves those smaller tribes prosecuted, murdered and enslaved by the Mayans/Aztecs. Look at who is on the first boat, soldiers and the priest holding the cross ABOVE them. Why? Because the purpose of the Spanish wasn't to arrive to a shore and murder everyone they met, those ships could barely fit 25-30 men each and all the food and fresh water required for months of travel, yeah, the ships and the armored soldiers look impressive to the indigenous people, but they were still too few to abandon the shore, go into the jungle and exterminate tribes of thousands. As the marines found out when they arrived at the pacific islands in WWII, it's not easy to go into a jungle and survive, even without the Japanese shooting at you, and even with modern medicine to try and fight the infections. The mission was to make alliances with the locals, teach them and learn from them (the first grammar book of a modern language was the Spanish by Antonio de Nebrija in 1492, the second was a Nahuatl grammar in 1531, yes, even before an English grammar was published). The Spanish clerics learned the native language and wrote a grammar, they were the most cultured of the population, since they knew Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, French, German, English, geography mathematics, philosophy... they were not in the ships just to spread the religion, they were experts at communication with foreigners and acted as diplomats. That's what Mel Gibson meant, the end of an era of savagery and cannibalism, the beginning of a new era for Jaguar Paw, his woman, children, and everyone else. The Spanish Ships: A New Hope (no Luke Skywalker) 🙂

Its very cool for a movie to be made about people from a time & culture never before reflected with care & heart before. Excellent film.

Thats a big boy. Cool reaction my dudes.

22:36 - Priceless! You win the intrawebs today! For The Win!!!

Green shirt reactions are priceless 😂

Congrats on 8k! I know I'm late 😢

The timeline is off, but I think they show the intro to the Spanish to signify the ending of an era and a new beginning. It also serves to show that there were already people here and a thriving civilization. Albeit they showed their civilization in decline.

So glad to see sexy Alex back again.

This was a great reaction

21:04 The panther is real, it was tied up with a rope.

Brilliant film. Gives a sense of time and place. It is not a documentary. My favorite "error" moment. Assuming that nest our hero throws was full of pepsis wasps (two inches long), they likely would have incapacitated (or killed) all of his pursuers. Second-worst sting on the planet. Several stings can paralyze. The mud coating was to protect him from the stings. Variety in N. America is known as the tarantula hawk. We have them in our yard during the summer.

violent movie Great movie reaction

ALL movies and TV shows are direct feeds from alternate universes. When you see something that isn't "historically accurate," remember that this movie isn't our earth timeline.

Time period isn't off. These were Aztecs not Mayans.

My culture my people✊🏾🇲🇽

I scanned thru comments but didn't see any reference to a similar film/series from New Zealand about Maori warriors called "Dead Lands".

The demented one is a kindergarten teacher in real life. The making of documentary is just about as good as the movie!!

I remember the first time watching this movie. When they saw the Spanish I yelled out in my South Park Saddam voice: "You're all fucked now!"

26:21 The biggest scream for the movie came at a birth

You're wrong ots jot after the mayans .. there are different "mayan" periods just like Egyptian lineages and dynasties. What's off is the place it occurred and how.

Check out a Kurt Russell movie called Bone Tomahawk.

the Conquistador went on trial for fabricating a lot of their accounts in order to gain more funding from the Spanish crown. they were later put on trial in Spain for fabricating the accounts, as well as for illegal slavery & for the mass killing of indigenous peoples. these are charges that would normally put someone to death automatically, but the Conquistador were put into exile. Christopher Columbus was also put in exile for the same charges, & he chose to be put in exile in the Caribbean. the Conquistador would later be influenced by Columbus. human sacrificing is not fake. it really did happen. but it was not like this, at all. sacrifice is considered a holy practice. only people who were pure, or people who volunteered themselves, were sacrificed. many warriors who were captured volunteered to sacrifice themselves because sacrificing yourself was seen as a warrior's lament, like a Norse warrior believing violence is his ticket to valhalla. the murals on the wall were half true. there were murals that depicted sacrifices & certain ceremonies, but it was to place moral or courage into people. not to place fear into people. they depicted their deities, rather than human beings. you have to keep in mind these practices & ceremonies were considered holy. they were revered like a church or religious alter. not every culture practiced sacrifice, but it was common among many cultures in the Americas (North, Central, & South America). but it was not like how media depicts it. indigenous peoples are not savages. i'd like to make that very clear.

Don’t be so disturbed, this is the ancient version of the NFL! Lol,

You guys need to understand the context of the movie before you watch it , main thing you have to know as a reaction or analyzing the movie is that it's a time of drought in that time , that's why they living how they living. due to no rain , they weren't able to harvest their main crop which is corn 🌽, so it's also lead them at one point to eat themselves , cannibalism , so basically they are capturing people to sacrifice it tot their gods, different tribes, for other purposez aswell , not only for sacrifice . , enough blood according to them and to the money , not sure about the eclipse part but yea . so there's a lot to this, you have to know about the Aztec culture to understand this movie , even though it's a lot of exaggerating in those movie scenes.

Culture Mexican 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽

Hola Mel Gibson se tomó la molestia de leer los libro de la cultura en México para producir está película

Mexican culture baby

It's a testament to the reality of conquest. We were taught that life in the Precolumbian Americas was pristine and without the cruelties, humans put upon other humans. This shows the truth of how all cultures have suffered man's inhumanity to man, albeit not in a perfect historical presentation. We now think the cruelness of conquest and slavery was all racially based, but that is a falsehood. Historically, stronger people always exploit weaker people. The end showed a new conqueror coming to take over from the current familiar conqueror. My father would ask if you were being subjected to horrible cruelty, would it matter if the inflictor looked like your people or not?

Y'all should react to this Native Maori New Zealand warrior Movie " The Dead lands" similar vibe to this movie but they be doing the haka 😂

Don't let Alex watch '127 hours' lol

It's the Spanish coming ĝ

Another Mel Gibson (director) movie The Passion of the Christ

They are mostly Mayans and the Spaniards arrived before the British

What you saw with that woman standing up holding another baby and giving birth gives gravity took over if she's laying down on her back. She's got to push it out because there's no gravity. Help them out, but no woman should ever try to milk the situation. You saw this young female give birth. And shouldn't complain 1 bit. So all these females whining and crying and all that is a bunch of crap

The movie makes him sick yet he eats meat and supports the same kind of cruelty. What a hypocrite he is!

The Mayan people are still alive. The Aztecs were at war with many other tribes at the time the Spaniards arrived.

pero los indígenas actuales dicen que los españoles los despojaron de todo pero no ven que dejamos atrás el salvajismo y el sin sentido de nuestra existencia

The most realistic Mesoamerican movie, but telescopes time between 800-1500 CE. I was in the room when my daughter was born, didn't scream like a bitch either, that is the mother's job ;-)

The Aztecs and Mayans are related and intermingled throughout the centuries. Mayans golden age was before the Aztecs. The mesoamericans did have libraries and documents carved into stone but they were mostly destroyed be the Spaniards. The Spaniards have also demonized the natives and have made us think they were more evil than they actually were.

26:59 nah world control and bio foods mf

😂😂 The Spanish never incounter the Mayans they were gone years before it was the Mexica people aka the Aztecs and this movie was over reacted especially with the guys catching the heads at the bottom of the piramid and their were no type of deaseses like they showed that's how so many Natives from the Americas North to south who were mostly wiped that came from Europe. This is Hollywood man.😂

Not true at all. The Spanish were not way after the Mayans. The Spanish conquered them.

Historically accurate but they are not look like mayan or aztec. Mayan has smaller eyes, red skin and bigger jaws.

pure fantasy, many errors in the script and in the story, the protagonist is pierced by a spear, he does not bleed to death, he flees with a fatal wound and they do not catch him, he jumps from a waterfall, he beats a jaguar in the race, he does not know weakens or faints from blood loss and never dies, they paint the Aztecs as the villains of the Mayans, when the Aztecs only fought with the Mexícas or Meshícas in center of México, the Mayans were in the southeast and Guatemala, The outfits do not correspond, they look like indigenous or aboriginal people from a tribe without progress, they show their precarious huts even though they have impressive pyramids and in their time they must have looked spectacular as new, they only show the pyramids of the Aztec sacrifices when they were supposedly captured by they, the jaguar looks like a stuffed animal on the face, the wild boar sounds like tyrannosaurus rex

The part I never understand about those who react to this movie is how they can see how terrible the pre-Columbian world was and still assume that the Spanish were worse. Do you really think that the conquistadors would rip out the hearts of more than 10,000 people with their bare hands in a single day? How exactly could they be worse than that?
