Oh dear god...stereotyped by events that occurred hundreds of years ago...these people need help.
Good movie, though.
A few months ago I got to tour the Mayan Ruins in the vicinity of Costa Maya. The tour guide talked about how the Mayans were misrepresented.... blah.... blah.... blah.... Mel Gibson.... racist.... blah.... blah....blah.... mean white Catholic.... blah.... blah.
Funny how some of the Mayan Ruins have paintings of ritual human sacrifice.
I am so tired of the Noble Savage, and of the people who think that having done something amazing a millennium ago means everyone has to kow-tow to you today. Is there any serious socialist today who disputes the live sacrifice in that culture?
The Mayan society was in decay, which is what Gibson was showing. But the indian activists have mounted a campaign that is the equivalent of holocaust denial. They even deny that ther Aztecs had human sacrifice,
