I LOVE this movie!
I have always love the PreCOlumbiam time period in history and this movie brought all my thoughts to vision.
I felt like I was in the movie and that everything was occuring at that point in time. The costumes were excellent, the visual effects. My fav part was the chance through the forest and when the Jaguar appeared.
I didn't like the way the other men picked on this one guy in the beginning, especially because he didn't have any children yet. Plus, why did the old woman have to humiliate him by telling him to put that red substance on his jimmy? Even embarrassed the wife, too.
I think in some parts of the world back in the day (way back) a man not being able to produce a child was looked down upon. continuing the family name and legacy was big. I think its still that way now, but not at such a large extent. But, im sure those without children have grandparents that insist on having a grandchild. Maybe, its our natural instincts to reproduce and continue human existance.
