Beginning, Middle, End

Apocalypto is a movie that i believe has a great beginning, middle, and end. This movie is based on the life of the Mayans. In the beginning we see the life that the mayans live in. The women are the ones who stay at home and gather up small foods like berries and such. They also cook the food and take care of the children. The men are the ones who provide the food for the women and children. Everything goes wrong when the mayans get attacked and become hostage to their rivals. The village is destroyed and the children are left behind as they take their mothers and fathers. There is a particular character that the movie is based on and through this character the audience gets to see the gruesome acts of their enemy. The man is allowed to go back home and makes it out alive, but when the enemy saw that he survived, the enemy goes after him and chase him until the man finds a way to kill them. At the end, the man is finally reunited with his family and finds out that his wife gave birth to their baby. They end up living a normal life again, but the last scene shows that they might have to change their way of life again because a ship is emerging to the land.
