Apocalypto, 2006, Director, Mel Gibson, Writers, Mel Gibson and Farhad Safinia

Although (the Mayan culture) is an integral part of the story, what I am doing is creating an action-adventure of mythic proportions ... and I am a megalomaniac, so I like the position.
Mel Gibson

Mayan sacred greeting: In Lak'ech Ala K'in, "I am another yourself."

The first men to be created and formed were called the Sorcerer of Fatal Laughter, the Sorcerer of Night, Unkempt, and the Black Sorcerer. They were endowed with intelligence, they succeeded in knowing all that there is in the world. When they looked, instantly they saw all that is around them, and they contemplated in turn the arc of heaven and the round face of the earth. Then the Creator said: "They know all, what shall we do with them now? Let their sight reach only to that which is near; let them see only a little of the face of the earth! Are they not by nature simple creatures of our making? Must they also be gods?"
Anonymous, Popol Vuh

The Mayans have predicted the world is supposed to end on December 21. If the world doesn't end on December 21, you can bet the next day the malls will be overrun with Mayans trying to buy last-minute gifts.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

John, by checking-out your link in the first line of your narrative, I've read that this movie tells us the story about a young man on a perilous journey to a world (in the era that Mayan kingdom faces its decline) that is ruled by fear and oppression. An intriguing story!

One of the by you well chosen quotes made me smile; the one of Jay Leno!

Perfect SNATM-theme (🎥) contribution, because of a wonderful render, quotes and sound track link!

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Powerful image Strat. I hope you haven't had a vision, because as LE said, this is more than a little frightening.
I must admit I have not seen the movie but it does look interesting.
You chose your art and music directors well.
Another good one for the SNATM. 👍👍

This is a stunner, WOW, your imagination is expanding. Tremendous colors and configurations. Apocalypto is a Greek word, in fact a verb meaning "I uncover", "disclose", or "reveal".
