Continuidade: The son of the hooligan leader Zero Wolf gets hurt on the right eye during the attack on the village. His father does two blood pressure release cuts right and below his eye. In the scene where the Commander gives his son the knife, the cuts moved further up and are now on to the right of his eye. And in the "shooting range" scene when the son is "the finisher", the cuts moved even further up and are now to the right and to the top of his eye.

The Artist As A Tough/Rough Man

One of the roughest, toughest art films I've ever seen. Remarkable, sensational. Non a mean task to put aside all the gossip surrounding the man behind this miracle and look at "Apocalypto" for what it is : a startling piece of art done by one of the most startling artists of our time. But I was able to do exactly that and sit there open mouthed, totally transported to the world Mel Gibson had in store for me. I don't want to get into any spoilers but let me tell you there are, at least, 4 moments - not merely technical but emotional - that are a first for the movies. There is violence in the film yes, but not nearly as much as in "Casino Royale" and definitely more justified. I'll take my wife next time, she stayed home, brainwashed by the avalanche of misinformation claiming it was one of the most violent films ever made. I know my wife well enough to know she will love "Apocalypto"
