Great film. On a few levels
I loved the rfact it was done in a dialect of yocutec Maya. Though I prefer the dialect of Mayan spoken in southern chiapas and Guatamala. It was a good move for the film.
If u want to appreciate this film more u should read Barnal Diaz. The conquest of New Spain. Being one of the first Conquestadors there and being on Cortezes tea it is a fantastic account on the Maya of that region during that epichal time. The end is great witt the conquestadors ona boat comming to sure with a cross. Indeed how true the death throes of a pagan people the man who lived running seeing the cross.
Fantastic!!
Too bad he didn't make a film based on Barnal diazes eye witness account of the conquest of the aztecs now that would be a film!!
