Nothing cheers me more than the sound of Leftists whining.

Wonder why Gibson didn't avoid the anachronism by making the movie about the Aztecs who were at the height of their civilization when the Spanish arrived.

When I was in the 6th grade I wrote a report on the local Indian tribe of my area. They turned out to be cannibals. They seemed to be more backward than portrayed in any other medium. I was used to cowboys and Indian movies and had visited reservations on vacation. These were more like something from Africa and cave men days. It is probably so politically incorrect today, the Karankawa's will probably be forgotten. They didn't seem noble to me. From what I could tell, they deserved to be wiped out.

And who complained that in Gladiator Ridley Scott showed epic battle scenes and vicious gladiatorial combat instead of teaching us how the aqueducts were built?

POINT!

(Julia Guernsey) "I hate it. I despise it. I think it's despicable. It's offensive to Maya people. It's offensive to those of us who try to teach cultural sensitivity and alternative world views that might not match our own 21st century Western ones but are nonetheless valid."

Translation: "I'm royally pi$$ed because someone dares shine the light of truth on the lies we've been peddling in the name of 'cultural sensitivity' for the last 20 years."

I'll patiently wait till it's in video and available from the library...I won't enrich Gibson with my money.

I saw the movie and thought it was great

It is unacceptable to the multiculturalists because it depicts a non-European culture as being evil. Only Europeans are allowed to be evil. The film is blasphemy against the multicultural religion of "everybody is equal and good, except those nasty Europeans"
