To Ali Besharati; As viewers, we are in no place to judge the society where the events of a movie have occurred and draw an analogy between our own's and those of others. I believe that there is no such a perfect society you spoke of. We live in an imperfect world full of nefarious, vile and unpleasant acts which cannot be stopped no matter how much people strive to combat them. It is not a wise move to rush into prejudgment while we have little knowledge of the variables involved. It might seem weird, but I have not watched this movie yet, and only tried to gain a background about it when I encountered your comment. I suggest that you take a deeper and wider look at what goes around where you live. I am certain that you will run into things even more atrocious and heart-breaking than what you saw in this movie! Adios!

I have watched Apocalypto for many times and every time it seemed as if I was watching it for the first time. In addition to the exciting, fascinating and entertaining nature of the movie, I think it abounds with rich content which keeps you thinking how mankind can be so cruel to his fellow humans. The movie may depict harsh and heinous scenes of massacre and manslaughter in thousand years ago, but such brutalities can be witnessed even today in new forms. Anyway, I suggest that it is one of the movies one must watch in her/his lifetime!
