Who will buy this woman?

No....she's too old.

She can be useful.

She can cook... clean...

Useless old woman!

No sale.

Go!

Go on.

These are the days of our great lament.

The land thirsts.

A great plague infests our crops.

The scourge of sickness afflicts us at whim.

They say, this strife has made us weak.

That we have become empty.

They say, that we rot.

Great people of the banner of the sun...

I say...

...we are strong!

We are a people of destiny.

Destined to be the masters of time.

Destined to be nearest to the gods.

Mighty KuKulKan!

Whose fury could scorch this earth to oblivion...

Let us appease you with this sacrifice.

To exalt you in your glory.

To make our people prosper.

To prepare for your return.

Warrior, unafraid and willing!

With your blood you renew the world!

From age to age.

Thanks be to you.

The heart of god!

Come back to me.

Brother...

Journey well...

No.

I can't go.

Not now...

People of the banner of the sun, do not fear.

Rejoice!

Kukulkan has drunk his fill of blood.

We have sated his thirst.

Great god.

Show us that you are pleased.

Let your light return upon us.

What of these captives?

Dispose of them.

I need a finisher.

You.

Release them.

You watch.

I'm ready!

There's your jungle, beyond the corn.

Go to it.

You're free...

....now run.

I said run!

Run!

Not bad.

Your turn.

Run.

Run!

Sleep.

Sleep now my son.

The pain will be no more.

Sleep.

He didn't come this way.

He's in the trees.

Spread out.

Keep your eyes open.

Quite.

He's coming right at us.

There!

He would have wanted me to have it.

The omen is bad...

Mighty Ek Chuah, we beg you...

Forgive us for this trespass

against your son, the jaguar.

The omen is bad...

Lift yourself up Drunkards Four...

...the omen was foretold...

...and now we have a fear more grave...

...today I saw the day become like night...

I saw a man run with the jaguar...

...we must not let this man make feet from us.

Enough!

Your words mean nothing.

He runs, because he is afraid.

When I catch him, I will peel his skin...

...and have him watch me wear it.

We leave now!

Here!

The omen was bad...

He's f***ed.

Help...please...

Hanging Moss...

...see him out.

Open your veins. It's quicker.

Travel well.

So much for you prophecies.

It's not over!

I am Jaguar Paw...

Son of Flint Sky!

My father hunted this forest before me...

My name is Jaguar Paw!

I am a hunter!

This is my forest!

And my sons will hunt it with their

sons after I am gone!

Come on!

Come on!

We are going over.

We climb down around.

We cannot let him get away.

We cannot afford...

We all jump.

I am Jaguar Paw.

This is my forest.

Mel Gibson

Mel Colmcille Gerard Gibson (born January 3, 1956) is an American actor and filmmaker. He is best known for his action hero roles, namely his breakout role as Max Rockatansky in the first three films in the Mad Max post-apocalyptic action series, and as Martin Riggs in the Lethal Weapon buddy cop film series. Gibson was born in Peekskill, New York. He moved with his parents to Sydney, Australia, when he was 12 years old, and studied acting at the National Institute of Dramatic Art. During the 1980s, he founded Icon Entertainment, a production company which independent film director Atom Egoyan has called "an alternative to the studio system". Director Peter Weir cast him as one of the leads in the critically acclaimed World War I drama Gallipoli (1981), which earned Gibson a Best Actor Award from the Australian Film Institute, as well as a reputation as a serious, versatile actor. Gibson produced, directed, and starred in the epic historical drama film Braveheart (1995), for which he won the Golden Globe Award and Academy Award for Best Director, along with the Academy Award for Best Picture. He later directed and produced the financially successful, and controversial, biblical drama film The Passion of the Christ (2004). He received further critical notice for his directorial work of the action-adventure film Apocalypto (2006), which is set in Mesoamerica during the early 16th century. After several legal issues and controversial statements leaked to the public, Gibson held a 10-year hiatus from directing, before returning with the critically acclaimed Hacksaw Ridge (2016), which won two Academy Awards and was nominated for another four, including Best Picture and Best Director for Gibson, his second nomination in the category. more…
