Watching historical movies has become ever more entertaining over the years. I find historically inspired films to be the most engaging and can offer subtle insight into the past.
They appeal to those wishing to enjoy a great movie but also include details to show those with a keen eye, looking for historic insight and settings.
Apocalypto is a movie directed by Mel Gibson and is wonderful movie that captures the theme of Mayan culture and history. The intense atmosphere in this film is truly gripping and the detail provided throughout its scenes are to be enjoyed by movie buffs and historical lovers alike.
