I don't know if that was genuine Aztec that the chief, his daughter and shaman were speaking, but it's nice to see that the writers made an attempt to give it an authentic 'feel' to their parts. I know this is not meant to be a rehash of Apocalypto,hence their reverting to English later on, but it was a nice touch.
sharePoint of fact, it actually was aztec. Kalani Queypo, the actor who portrayed the Aztec shaman, is fluent in the language and actually coached Allen Gumapac and Dichen in how to properly pronounce the words. As I recall, he also assisted in advising when changed in the lines needed to be made to make the dialogs more accurate and authentic.

ROFL. A Blackfoot-Hawaiian is 'fluent' in Aztec? Nice one ... about as convincing as the rest of this lunatic film.
Listen, mate, I have language-coached actors, and you need to be a native speaker to be able to do that.
My guess is that this is Yiddish played backwards, which the actors are then mimicking.

What a sad loser you are. I have coached a successful Japanese film star in a language he doesn't speak and I do. You don't believe it? Fine. All it proves is that you are a sad loser. Now just get lost, loser.
shareLOL Geez, why don't you just call me a poopyhead and be done with it? Your post reveals your true lack of maturity and proves that you are definitely no "industry insider". If you truly are who you claim to be, then provide links to show who you are and what you have done. I haven't hidden anything here. And so far, between the two of us, I am the only one who has any actual verifiable credibility in asfar as working in entertainment.
shareYour posts show that you are a petulant little boy with the maturity of a 7-year old - and you talk about 'credibility'. You may have some in Two Mules, Arizona; maybe ...
Which part of n-o-n---d-i-s-c-l-o-s-u-r-e a-g-r-e-e-m-e-n-t are you having difficulty with?
And again, you need a crash course in reading comprehension. I never claimed to be an 'industry insider'. I said that I have worked in the industry. And so I have: as a language coach.
LOL
I don't know about any place called Two Mules Arizona, but I do know about Hawaii since that is where I live. And as far as any nondisclosure agreement, what a nice way to try and cover your lies. Kind of like the guy at the bar who claims to have been a Special Forces soldier but claims he can't prove it because all his missions were "top secret".
I'm still calling your bluff on being a language coach. And until you actually prove it everyone who reads these posts will know how full of *beep* you really are! After all, there are others on this site who actually have worked as language coaches and dialect coaches and prove it with their bios:

OH NO!! I guess you should explain to these people about n-o-n---d-i-s-c-l-o-s-u-r-e a-g-r-e-e-m-e-n-t too!
LOL
"I'm still calling your bluff on being a language coach"
What a puffed-up little loser you are. I don't need to prove anything to losers like you.
"And until you actually prove it everyone who reads these posts will know how full of *beep* you really are! "
Mistaking yourself for 'everyone', little boy? Better take your pills as the doctor told you to do.
I have worked as a film language coach, and all your tantrums and unhinged rants won't change that fact.
What won't change is that you are a liar and a phony and your lack of credentials only proves it. After all, I provided a list of those who have shown their credentials here on imdb.com and thus they are proven language/dialect coaches whereas you are nothing more than a fraud.
And all your condescending little remarks will not make up for the fact that you have not proven anything other than the fact that you are a liar and a fraud.
Still judging everyone by your own low standards, I see. What a surprise ...
I have been telling the truth all along, and you can whine and whine all you like, little boy.
I didnt know Aztec women were asian either.
shareAnd I didn't know that Mowgli in the Jungle Book was Chinese!
sharewell, seeing as humans colonised the Americas (initially along the Bering Strait before it became a strait after the Ice Age) came from East Asia, all the pre-Columbians would have been of Asian descent, genetically speaking...
