01:21In this regard, today we have brought for you the behind the scenes and some shocking facts of the film Apocalypto.
01:28So without further ado, let's start the video.
01:31Friends, the entire team of Apocalypto worked hard to reveal the mystery of the 200-year-old Mayan kingdom.
01:40Not only on the makeup or artist selection, but also on the locations where the film was being shot,
01:46good research was done so that the scenes look realistic.
01:49See here as an example.
01:52In this clip, you are shown spending time with your son and wife in a jungle hut.
02:01It seems as if this place is not of the 21st century.
02:05But you will be surprised to know that this film was shot in Mexico-based Quetemaco.
02:11The entire set-up was prepared in this way to film these scenes accurately.
02:18Friends, in fact, a lot of focus has been placed on Mayan beliefs in the film.
02:24According to these beliefs, sacrifice, i.e. human sacrifice, was of special importance for the happiness of good harvest and kingdom.
02:31You will be surprised to know that these cruel and disgusting scenes were also skillfully filmed in the film Apocalypto.
02:39You can see how funny the behind the scenes of these intense scenes are looking.
02:46Here, the artist present in the scene is being made up before the shot.
02:50It is obvious that these behind the scenes may look funny, but their execution on the screen is really commendable.
02:58Now see this red mask as an example.
03:02This mask looked quite scary on the screen.
03:05A large team was assembled to prepare it.
03:09Here, the makeup artist had to work hard to show a glimpse of the Mayan kingdom.
03:14To bring perfection in every scene, they had to pay attention to the details.
03:19Friends, you can see the creativity of the makeup artist in these behind the scenes.
03:24In the film, along with the sophistication of Mayan civilization, brutality has also been tried to be revealed.
03:31That is why brutal scenes like human sacrifice have also been filmed in detail.
03:36See how the scene is being made murderous with the help of a murderous dagger.
03:42And in its sequence, it has also been shown that how the man who sacrificed himself is showing the heart of the person who was sacrificed.
03:51Indeed, it can be said that a unique example of fiction and reality has been presented in this film.
03:58By the way, in this clip, you can see how the dead body cut from the head is being dropped down the stairs.
04:05Friends, you can see the shaking scene on the screen.
04:08But now let's take a look at its behind the scenes.
04:12Here you can see how the artist is being hung from the stairs with the help of a harness to film this scene.
04:20A helmet has been worn on his head and then he has been dropped from the stairs.
04:25By the way, this scene looks so funny and light-hearted behind the screen.
04:30But in the movie, seeing this scene becomes a horror.
04:35Now moving forward, we will show you how this whole setup was prepared for the scene of this sacrifice.
04:42To shoot this intense and brutal scene of the film Apocalypto, a dummy setup was prepared.
04:50This fake set had to make a lot of effort.
04:53Actually, it had to be seen on the screen as if there was a crowd of thousands below the place where the sacrifice was made on the stairs.
05:02This set was seen quite grand on the screen.
05:05In its scenes, there are people who sacrifice on the top of the stairs and there are people who sacrifice.
05:11Then here the dead bodies were also shown falling from above.
05:15But if you actually see it, then it is a small area in which fake structures were installed.
05:22Not only this, but the arrow scenes in the film were also filmed in some way.
05:26However, by seeing this scene in the film, you will not be able to guess its behind the scenes.
05:32Friends, every small and big scene seen in this film was rehearsed many times.
05:37Perhaps, the kind of brutality that was tried to be shown on the screen, it was revealed.
05:46Friends, if you have seen this film, then you will know that the main character of this film, Jaguar Pawn,
05:52whose role was played by actor Rudy Youngblood, he sacrifices his life to save himself from being sacrificed.
06:00And he also succeeds in saving his life.
06:03Friends, this scene is a great scene of this movie.
06:06Now let's take a look at the shooting of this movie scene.
06:10To complete this scene, many close-up shots of Rudy were taken in this way.
06:15After this, in the coming scenes, the character of Jaguar has been shown running in the middle of the jungle like this.
06:22This part of the film was filmed in some way like this.
06:25There is also a fight sequence in the middle of the jungle in the next part of this scene.
06:30Friends, special tools were also made to film these scenes so that they can look real from the fight.
06:36In these clips, you can see that a lot of focus has been put on the makeup of the artist as well as the tools.
06:42By the way, the wounds on their body on the screen have been worked hard to give them a real look.

06:55By the way, the artists working in the film must also be praised for their patience.

07:04but it is not easy to work in unusual costumes and heavy makeup amidst the sun, heat, and jungle.
