Many of us know Mel Gibson from his memorable roles in classic movies. Over the years, he’s delivered some incredible performances, but did you know he’s also accomplished behind the camera?
Yes, Mel Gibson wrote and directed the movie Apocalypto, which hit the big screen in 2006. That year was a standout one for films, with other notable releases like The Pursuit Of Happyness, The Breakup, and Little Miss Sunshine.
It’s not often that we talk about movies decades after their release, but Apocalypto has made that rare list. Fans and critics alike still hail it as one of the best movies ever made.
The movie takes us back to the last days of the Mayan Empire, where the rulers are becoming increasingly bloodthirsty. The story centers around Jaguar Paw, played by Rudy Youngblood, whose village is attacked and captured for human sacrifice.
Without giving too much away, let’s say Apocalypto offers deep storytelling and is crafted to keep you engaged from start to finish.
The buzz on social media shows that this film continues to captivate new audiences, even those watching it for the first time. It’s definitely a movie worth watching again.
