Mel Gibson's Apocalypto

This is a great movie packed with action and drama. The story itself is very intriguing because many of us are somewhat familiar with the Mayan Kingdom. This movie basically captures the downfall of this great civilization. The main character of this movie is Jaguar Paw, a young Mayan who sacrifices many things in order to protect his family. Everything he goes through pays off at the end when he reunites with his family. However, the movie ends with the Conquistadors arriving to the Island where the movie took place. I felt that this was a very powerful way to end this great movie.
