04.04.09 -- Apocolypto

WHAT I HAVE DONE TODAY:
I watched Apocolypto and made notes, which I will include with my notes on Road to El Dorado in my work book. Personally I didn't think the film was very good. There were too many continuity errors to make it believable, and these errors spoiled the whole movie for me. But, while I didn't enjoy it as a whole, I did appreciate the familiar aspects of mesoamerican culture in it, particularly the references to Kukulkan, the Mayan feathered serpent god, their version of Quetzalcoatl, and Ixchel, the goddess of childbirth and maternity.

WHAT I WILL DO TOMORROW:
I will complete more sketch book work, watch documentaries on the Aztecs on Youtube and look into any galleries or museums where I might be able to get some primary research.
