an accurate historical portrayal of the Mayan culture?

I'm really sick and tired of people justifying this garbage with that phony justification. What's next? Mel doing a movie about the Nazi's and showing people slow roasting in some oven for 15 minutes, or 60 minutes of Gestapo torture, in 'exciting', high-def detail?

Hey, I had to close my eyes during BraveHeart, and I have NOT watched the Passion, and I don't expect to go to this movie.

I was just commenting on how the writer "excused" Braveheart and the Passion because they were historical, and wondering if he was saying that this WASN'T historically accurate.

I'm not a big fan of blood and gore, even for historical purposes. I don't watch beheadings on the internet either, and I can't watch unedited images from 9/11 with people jumping to their deaths.

I guess you didn't see the widely acclaimed and richly rewarded movie of "Schlinder's List" by Spielberg...it got pretty close to that in many scenes...
