Movie Trailer: Apocalypto
By watching this you may think this was a great work investigating the fall of the Mayan Civilization. with a look at the stark connections between the all consuming empires of old and that of the West today. What you really get is a common chase movie dressed up with Jungle Book backdrops.

Granted that Gibson isn't really giving us Lord of the Rings does History Channel, here, I did think it was interesting how the simplistic (culpably) plot did manage to suggest a cross-section, and to draw into question the commonly received narratives about Meso-American cultures and conquistadores. This isn't going to make me think a bunch of Spanish Papists with tin pots on their heads were saints, mind you--but it did open up the question, again, for our re-thinking. I thought that was worthy.
