映画『マヤ ― 天の心、地の心 ―』四角大輔レビューコメント

What are the messages from ancient Mayans to us
at the end of 5125-year Mayan calendar cycle?

This is not a simple spiritual movie about Mayan calendar and civilization. It is a powerful piece that reveals hardships contemporary Mayan people face, and rings alarm for all of us who share the world with them.


Is the end of Mayan calendar end of the world, or a new beginning?
Is globalization evil or good?
Is mankind destroyer or savior of the planet Earth?
The answers depend on our choices.
We have developed technologies paying it with a lot of lives. We should now follow Mayan wisdom and utilize these technologies for the benefit of the Earth. I believe that’s the only way we compensate for the lives lost.
I’d like you to feel the movie as if you are reciting a poem.
