like the passion of Christ, apocalypto is also a good movie, not only for entertaining viewers but also showing us how the natives live their lives. they are not safe even in their own homes. i admire the main character's endurance after being captured and running away from them... but throughout the movie i noticed a character which i do not know what role he is portraying, did you notice a fat little boy on the part where heads are cut off and rolled over... who is that?

I watched Apocalypto and it's a really good movie, but I think the ending doesn't fit with the story.

Remember when the two last natives were chasing him and all three of them stopped when they saw the ships. The main character ran away to save his family, but the it showed the two natives walking toward the ships.

After he got his family out of the well, I'm pretty sure he watched and observed without being seen, what the settlers from the ships were doing to the natives. The settlers conquered the land including the kingdom of the cruel king. Seing the more dominant and powerful unfriendly conquerors, he was moving his family away to safety.

The ending DOES fit. The problem is that many people watching the movie aren't familiar with the history of the Mayan culture! The arrival of the ships marks the arrival of outside civilization, which marks the downfall of the Mayan culture - we brought plague, disease, pestulance with us to their land and that played a HUGE part in why they were wiped out.

Another commenter said that he "saw what the guys on the ships were doing to the other two" and that is not true - they were not in the scene. He made a very instinctual decision NOT to seek help from the strangers and to go back into the forrest to try and start his life over again with his family.

Yes, I agree. Apocalypto is a great movie. It taught courage, leadership and persistance.

The fat boy was the king's son. Most likely the one that will inherit the throne. By exposing the boy to that rediculous ritual and I am pretty sure that they were telling him that it was the right thing to do for their god, will secure their belief and tradition to live on through generations.

The fat little boy isn't meant to be a character for you to focus on or worry about; he just happens to be a character you focus on to notice how little these people cared for the lives of those they were sacraficing. The little boy didn't understand the impact they were having on civilization - he only saw heads rolling. To be honest, we're still like that today, in many ways...

i loved how the little boy looked, but even he was justa part of the movie... itwould not be anapocalypto wothout him:)
