Why are people so critical of Mel Gibson's films? They say that Passion was anti-Semitic, but Jesus was anti-Semitic himself; naturally his "biography" would be biased toward that. Christianity and other religions today, of course, make efforts toward a brotherhood or coexistence of all religions, but that movement did not occur until centuries after the life of Christ on earth.
And then there is Apocalypto, which has been accused of portraying the Mayans in a negative light. What do they mean by that? The graphic violence toward enemies? The human sacrifices? But aren't all of those in the history books anyway? And are not the same violence and killings still evident in any society and in modern streets today, centuries after?
