Mel’s Mayan Mendacity
Monday, December 11th, 2006
It's beyond me why "Apocalypto" is at the top of the box office list. The movie is apparently full of historical mistakes including the arrival of "salvation" in the form of conquistadors and Christianity. Which is apparently the point of the film; that the savage Mayans were destined to be saved, by the Spanish. Chalk up the discrepancies to Mel Gibson's continued efforts to spread his own brand of catholicism that includes extensive revisionist views of colonialism.
