Apocalypto HOWs, WHEREs and WHOs

Tweet

i've seen the movie..lots of times, actually,..but i haven't done much reading about the it. i think mel gibson and the people behind this film have done some extensive research in order to for them to come up with such a great film. i found it to be a must-see movie for so many reasons. i'm just intrigued as to who those actors/actresses were.. were they really people who were members of some tribe? if they were, how were they convinced to act in this film? where did they film it? was the tribal language real, or was it made specially for the film? i've got a handful of questions... anybody done their homework??
