Briefly describe opening scene
Zooming in to the rainforest, Apocalypto begins with the sounds of its diverse wildlife. Birds and insects alike seem to sing a chorus as we watch the camera zoom further in. A tapir suddenly bursts from the foliage squealing as its hunters approach.The hunters chase the tapir purposely into a trap that literally stops the animal dead in its tracks.The hunters begin to butcher the tapir and each one gets an organ as a reward.The protagonist, Jaguar Paw, hands out the tapirs testicles to Blunted claiming that they will help in Blunted's efforts to have children with his wife.Blunted reluctantly begins eating as all the hunters burst into laughter, Blunted has yet again been fooled by Jaguar Paw. As the hunters joke together Jaguar Paw feels a disturbance and turns around, the others follow suit. Out of the forest come a people warning of a force that has wiped out their entire village.
