I've been waiting for a good Cortez v Aztecs movie. It would be fucking epic.

gross that poster is too violent, needlessly

Excuse me you fucking bigot? That image is an expression of the colorful Mayan culture. Maybe if you didn't approach everything from a cis Eurocentric view you'd be capable of understanding and appreciating the richness of a culture different than you're own.

You should read Aztec by Gary Jennings. It's an epic non-fiction novel that catalogues the culture

This, its a perfect fucking story

Angry local tribes, a hot native who could speak Spainish and wanted revenge, greedy Europeans maninupating an empire in the largest city in the world at the time, soldiers drowning in the swamps as they try to flee with gold, Cortez avoiding Spainish authorities coming to arrest him then Cortez convincing them to go back to sack the city

That's a sweet poster for Wes Anderson's Apocalypto

Any movies about aztecs then? I just need more human sacrifice and ancient civilizations!

there are several obscure native SA movies on this channel

There's also that one memoir written by a guy that actually served with Cortez in Mexico. One of the first times they went ashore the locals encouraged the spaniards to follow them inland and then suddenly ambushed them for no fucking reason and they had to fight their way out.

It's a pretty famous book and you can get it for free on kindle.

I will thanks

Not futura bold.

It's called:

>The Memoirs of the Conquistador Bernal Díaz del Castillo

It's sort of hard to read initially because of the way it's translated (from 16th century Spanish) but it gets easier as you read it.

$2 on Amazon

I read about some of the first spanish boats to arrive and after one of them was lodged on coral the crew was forced to row in.

After setting foot on the land the mayan king in the area found em and had them sacrificed just like that.

You're in luck buddy, Spielberg is producing/directing that exact film.

THIS

The intro of The Discovery and Conquest of Mexico reminds me of a movie
"not being an eloquent scholar and being of old age and having lost my sight I have nothing to leave my children except for the stories of the conquest of New Spain. And I think they'll find what a wonderful story it is."

That book has character arcs, and flashbacks. God I would love to see a movie about that.

That movie wasn't really about Mayans as much as it was about a fictional Aztec/Mayan hybrid culture that somehow caught smallpox before coming into contact by time traveling conquistadors though. Seriously Mel Gibson needs to stop making "historical" dramas.

the "sickness" wasnt even a major part of the plot.

It was the reason why so many captives were being sacrificed m8. Pay attention next time. :)

There was no smallpox, their crops were dying because they didnt know how to fertilize.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

...

what about aguirre

there sum jungleniggers in that kinda

read a book, its all there.

>mayans
it's aztecs you fucking pleb

Maya civilization was in a state of serious decline for unknown reasons for centuries before the Spaniards arrive. It could have been due to famine or disease, we don't know. Also, the Maya began to engage in human sacrifice more frequently during that time. It wasn't a hybrid culture.

If there is anything out of place in the movie, it's that a major city was still inhabited by large numbers of people. By the time of the arrival of the Spanish, the cities were all abandoned and society had regressed to a more tribal state.

The Aztec sites aren't close enough to the coast.

Those are Incas.

The movie is set in the Yucatan jungle and the spoken language is Yucatec Maya.

This movie is the perfect example of dishonest filmmaking.

>caught smallpox before coming into contact
Illness spreads at a pretty good rate m8, there were multiple trips to many places in the new world, it wasn't just "AND THEN THE SPANIARD ARRIVED IN THE ENTIRETY CENTRAL AMERICA"

>The Aztec sites aren't close enough to the coast

Don't forget about the Toltec Empire my nigga. They build Chichen Itza.

>Aztec """"""empire""""""

It's commonly thought that they were in decline due to them fucking up their micro climate. Mainly due to their processing of limestone. Mayans also had some of the best fertiliser in history which was red clay, human feces and ash IIRC. Their Nixtamalization processes were ignored when corn was brought to Europe, so when people switched to corn based diets health dropped somewhat.

It's called Montezuma. No official confirmation but Jewberg has been interested in making it for a while.

But mostly because their crops were failing.
>Pay attention
The ironing

You're a deadshit

EEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSS

False, Mayan civilization did actually last until the Europeans came, also as soon as the Europeans landed and came in contact with civilizations years before that landing the diseases were spread and moving at much much faster speeds than the Europeans so it makes plenty of sense people were already infected.

So when the Spanish arrived they were entering a post-apocalyptic society? That's interesting. Never heard that before.

This was a legitimately fun film.

Also,
>Chel

Fuck me, I rewatched it a week ago and I am shocked with the amount of innuendo they got a way with. I need to go fap to some brown native porn with fat asses and hips now...

I believe that is about the Inca of Peru but I could be wrong.

Also a ridiculously comfy movie.

REYES

You won't find many other films about Mayans, what makes this film good is that it is created by Based Mel, possibly the greatest auteur director still alive and working in Hollywood

how/why?

I just feel like we need more movies about Spanish Empire
>Reconquista(from moors and frenchs), Conquer of Americas, OP Tercios dominate Europe, Losing Cuba, Losing Philippines, Losing to USA

Same for French and Dutch, we had enough of Britain and USA
