"Apocalypto is nothing less than the visual fantasies and fetishes of a very disturbed man. First, we had to suffer two hours of a film entitled PASSION OF THE CHRIST, in which Christ is tortured for two entire hours, as one atrocity after another is inflicted upon him. For some reason, all the gore freaks and torture buffs in America "got off" watching that appalling film. I don't consider that kind of thing entertainment and I sure did not walk away from the film feeling enlightened about Christ. Now, we get another example of Mel Gibson's disturbed mind, in the form of two hours of a jungle tribe being tortured, with one atrocity after another visited upon them. Gibson is truly in need of psychiatric assistance (not to mention his many sadistic admirers). What is appealing about watching people being tortured and maimed for several hours????? Gibson seems so fascinated with torturing and brutalizing characters that you have to wonder if in a former life he was a member of the Spanish Inquisition, possibly the head of a torture unit assigned to maiming the Jews he so despises? Or maybe he worked for one of the Russian Tzars and assisted them in torturing Jews during their vicious pogroms? Never have I seen a director who revels in splattering blood, cruelty, and sadism upon a screen as this sick individual. Anybody who "gets off" on this kind of film is proably the same kind of brain dead jackass who rushes to see Marilyn Manson concerts or worships Rob Zombie. In other words, this is a film that will appeal to the lowest common denominator of nasty freaks who like to see small helpless animals tortured. Of course, every anti-Semite in America is rushing to see the film and place dollars in the paws of this sick puppy, Gibson, masquerading as a human being. Never has there been such a lightning rod for anti-Semitic sentiment as this emotionally warped man, who embodies everything wrong about America and contemporary American cinema."
