APOCALYPTO-- for those who didnt know how a barabarian civilization would be ... this is the visual from MEL GIBSON

the movie, watching which i contemplated for a long while wether to go further and watch the most undigestable living pattern of a civilization in the jungle .......... most of the time i thought that i have watched enough of the massacre and wild living and lets stop it ....but only continued to watch inorder to know.. how in hell did it get a rating of 8/10 and also get nominated for 3 oscars....



i wondered through out the movie as of.. to which era was the movie being related to .... and to add to my confusion... in the climax sophisticated people from the city are found discovering this jungle and just arrive in their ships to this island.... so it must be the present era and that there is a jungle now where this civilization exists .....

but there are few elements in the movie that to be appreciated as well.......most predominantly the technincal work was mesmerising in capturing the best angles that give a reality to the action and stunts happening on the screen...
and other few elements inculcated into the story line at times do relate the movie to a present day man too ..... one of them was the fear that remained applicable to every single human ... or if corrected every single living being....
and the other was the conquering thirst of a man to make another man his captive ...... the movie also shows a transition in very smal scope from a early civilization where there was no materialistic waste for which man gave more importance to another area of the same where money and superstitions took over him.......

and a further transition of the same is what we are living in today


what this movie taught me was this story: (as it was in the movie)

a Man sat alone, drenched deep in sadness. And all the animals drew near to him and said, "We do not like to see you so sad. Ask us for whatever you wish and you shall have it." The Man said, "I want to have good sight." The vulture replied, "You shall have mine." The Man said, "I want to be strong." The jaguar said, "You shall be strong like me." Then the Man said, "I long to know the secrets of the earth." The serpent replied, "I will show them to you." And so it went with all the animals. And when the Man had all the gifts that they could give, he left. Then the owl said to the other animals, "Now the Man knows much, he'll be able to do many things. Suddenly I am afraid." The deer said, "The Man has all that he needs. Now his sadness will stop." But the owl replied, "No. I saw a hole in the Man, deep like a hunger he will never fill. It is what makes him sad and what makes him want. He will go on taking and taking, until one day the World will say, 'I am no more and I have nothing left to give.'"

P.S: this is something that took me more time than others did ...... but it didnt matter to me in any way since my calendar showed that i have no planned schedule today ...... also the fact is my calendar says the same everyday ... nothing to do
