If you loved Braveheart, try Apocalypto
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Mel Gibson, and they sit in Action / Drama / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to Braveheart, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Apocalypto is
Jungle ruins at dusk, a waterfall crashing, a spear flying. A village is overrun, a man is dragged away, his family left behind. Gibson's unflinching gaze propels this visceral survival story.
