Actually, to infer that this is a talking point means that you believe that there is an organized effort to discredit Mel.

Strange as it may seem, there are people who simply don't think that the glorification of violence, particularly human sacrifice, is particularly healthy.

The first amendment allows Mel Gibson to produce whatever type of movie he desires. It also allows me to point out how reprehensible I think "Apocolypto" is.

The prisons are full of people that think violence is just a normal part of life.

You are absolutely correct. The same amendment permits me to suggest that it is very challenging to find a movie review credible when it is made by one who has only read other reviews.

I would agree that the glorification of human sacrifice is not particularly healthy. However, I saw the movie, and I did not get the impression that human sacrifice was glorified. The depiction of it was far from glorification. It would be like stating that the depiction of the crucifixion of Jesus was "glorifying crucifixions."
