I have no doubt that it's an excellent movie. My friends all highly recommended "The Pianist" to me. It sounded like a movie I'd like very much, however, rather then enrich a pedophile I waited until the movie was available in the library then watched it.

The Pianist is an excellent movie.

I'll probably enjoy Apocalypto when I can see it without personally contributing to Gibson.

If you think the outcry regarding this movie is bad (and it will get louder)as it is ignored at the awards' dinners yet watched by multitudes - wait until somebody does a movie about Native North American Indians.

There would be a great movie in the barbarity of some of the Indians that sided with the French in the F&I War. But the real story would be one you don't hear about, that is the choice they took in siding with the loser of a war. History doesn't treat people who side with the loser of a war very well. Well, maybe that would be hard to translate to the cinema, so I guess torturing missionaries will have to do.
