White God fearing missionaries come in their giant ships to tame the unruly savages :mjpls:
Depends how you look at it. In the end Jaguar Paw tells his wife they have to run away further i to the jungle because he felt they were harbingers of doom. The Mayans were brutal to people they conquered just as the Spaniards were going to be and maybe is supposed to show the cyclical nature of life and that there will always be someone bigger and badder than you.

I had that thought until you find out Mel Gibson is super religious. Also the passion of Chiat is so fukking bloody.

Exactly. I guess if you're completely retarded you would take it the way OneManGang did but in the context of the film Jaguar just escaped some insane shyt and we went on this insane journey with him not knowing if he was going to live, we as viewers finally think he's safe and we see those ships in the horizon, it was a very cynical, bleak and hopeless ending implying how brutal and predatory early civilizations were towards foreign civilizations. I feel like if people didn't know Mel Gibson made the film they would've taken it as it was intended within the context of the film, it was actually a GENIUS ending for the film because you go from being happy/exacerbated by Jaguar's journey only to realize the troubles that lay on the horizon.
