So Christians are only supposed to see movies that have a religious message? What a silly, limited view.
I haven't seen it yet, but everything I have seen of it, and every person whose opionion I respect (and some I don't) have said it's a awesome film. I can't wait to see it myself.
Of Course Not..
I will proably see it, I just thought it would be about the Mayan Prediction of 2012 which is kind of interesting
plus the title of the movie would make you think that.
Mayan Prediction.
The point of interest for these early astronomers seems to have been the projected end date in 2012 A.D., rather than the beginning date in 3114 B.C. Having determined the end date in 2012 (for reasons we will come to shortly), and calling it 13.0.0.0.0, they thus proclaimed themselves to be living in the 6th baktun of the Great Cycle. The later Maya certainly attributed much mythological significance to the beginning date, relating it to the birth of their deities, but it now seems certain that the placement of the Long Count hinges upon its calculated end point. Why did early Mesoamerican skywatchers pick a date some 2300 years into the future and, in fact, how did they pinpoint an accurate winter solstice? With all these considerations one begins to suspect that, for some reason, the ancient New World astronomers were tracking precession.
I think what the author is saying is that a violent movie might be worth seeing if it had some sort of redemptive message. He is saying that he did not detect that in Apocalypto.
