Also, if you get a chance, check out the "professional" reviews, the main grudge among the egghead left is how Mel chose to portray the Mayans--as slaving butchers. This film is a direct retort to the rubbish and lies that have circulated from the university anthropology departments for decades about how much there is to admire about the Mesoamerican cultures. Way to go Mel, this has been one of their great sacred cows for years, and now it's about to get gored. Just because a "civilization" builds stone temples and has a calender does not mean it has anything to offer. The best thing that ever happened to the Mayans and Aztecs, in my opinion, was Spanish cannon--good riddance.

Saint Mel.

He's human. He's flawed. He's a man for our times.
