Thank you for your sensible review of the film.
I do not understand how people that have not seen the film can condemn it.
It is like the people who say they hate Rush but have never listened to his show.

I've never witnessed or participated in rape or murder either, but I condemn them.
I didn't want to say this yesterday but I gotta tell you, you know, I screened "Apocalypto" which opens tonight in over 2500 screens across the country, Mel Gibson's movie. It's fascinating to read the reviews in the liberal papers. My gosh, folks, you would think I produced this movie. These reviews are of what a sicko Gibson must be. They do give the film plaudits for the cinematography. It is gorgeous. It's digital photography, it's a stunning thing to see but it's got its blood, guts and gore. No question about it. Three of the women walked out first 30 minutes, and it wasn't because it was too gory. When I talked to them later when we were having dinner, "Nah, I just don't like all this macho stuff." It was an ancient culture of men who ran the show. But they were loving and protecting of their women as the movie depicts. So macho is bad. Men being men. That's not good, except secretly it really is because that's what women really want. But even they're afraid to let it be known en masse. All right. I know this stuff, folks, but I know many of you do not like somebody sounding so certain, so sure of himself and so right, that bothers a lot of people. "Nobody is that sure of themselves." So I've said what I have to say about it.
