Kings of the Sun (1963)
Original Apocalypto?
I saw this movie once when it first came out in 1963. I was 9 or 10, depending on the date of release. I don't remember a lot about the plot but I remember that I really liked the movie. It was a favorite. A few years ago my older brother brought up Kings of the Sun as we were talking about old movies. It was also one of his favorites.
Kings is in the same genre as The Alamo, The Vikings and The Long Ships. These were all movies that were exciting and encouraged us to learn about history.
I haven't Apocalypto yet, but I'd like to compare the two. MGM could make some cash if they released Kings of the Sun now--as Apocalypto comes out. Maybe it isn't politically correct enough to be released. Since I can't remember any details, and if I did they would be filtered through the memories of a 9 year old I can't comment beyond that. If they'd release it I'd buy a copy for each of my three brothers -- as well as myself-- for Christmas.
