I'm going to address these points in my review, and hopefully show that the people who are focusing on these points are missing what the film is about, and to a degree they are wrong. There's also a further claim that it portrays them as savages and the Spanish Christians as their saviours. With Apocalypto the charges are that it's not historically accurate to the Mayan's. Yet Braveheart was a great film despite taking liberties with history and not being a historical documentary I accepted them and enjoyed the film greatly. There has been a push against the historical accuracy of the film, and this is something that I myself can understand since being a Highlander I felt quite strongly about the accuracy of Braveheart. That takes care of most of the baggage, but there's still a few things hanging over the film that have been said in the press in the lead up to the release.
So let's dispense straight away with the celebrity associations of Gibson and just concentrate on the film itself. Mel Gibson's Apocalypto comes with a lot of baggage, some of which is related to the film, and some that isn't.
