What politics? It's actually meant to be a mix of both... “I got a bit of a hard time for accuracies, but that was bullshit,” he said. “I did my research.” I disagree, as I'm right in the middle somewhere. If that's all you got from it, then Gibson failed in his stated mission. Apparently he actually wanted to teach you something. What a strange way of admitting that you were wrong... Anyway, if you do actually need it spelled out for you, then here you go: Calling a callous misrepresentation of one of the greatest societies of all time, trivial, is ignorant. Calling Mayans and Archaeologists who disagree with Apocalypto, crying realists, is ignorant. Denying the power which the first major film on the Maya contains (for both good and bad), is ignorant.
