Apocalypto The absolute best quotes or I should say not exact quotes of the Touchstone Pictures movie.

"Deep rotting fear is a sickness, I didn't raise you to live in fear"

I will elaborate on a few more highlights that caught my attention. Jaguar Paw the hero of the movie has this inheritance from his father. His words full of courage were an gift to his son.

A special note about the death and violence we must remember that God takes note of the righteous dead

 ¹The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come. (Isaiah 57:1, King James Version This movie is indeed a violent movie but much like our Bible there are times of extreme violence.

Back to the fathers words to his son which he gave to him as a gift. "Deep rotting fear is a sickness and I did not raise you to live in fear. A few scripture verses that support the quote.

 ¹⁴For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

 ¹⁵For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

 ¹⁶The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: (Romans 8:14-16, King James Version

 ⁶Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.

 ⁷For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

 ⁸Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God; (2 Timothy 1:6-8, King James Version

And this quote, "Your name is Almost" By one of the main antagonist of the movie. The bad guy striped Jaguar Paw of his name and called him Almost as in you almost killed me and got away. His fight Jaguars fight is not just against the bad guys of the movie but the mindset of the "bad guys" their methods were to strip there captives of their character and break their spirits so that they will not resist there attempts to shape them into little copies of themselves.

This movie is indeed for GrownUps and teenagers that are mature and can handle the adult content in the movie it gets 5 out of 5 stars from me.
