Yea, I admit it was an obvious move, and they are not exactly hard to recognise, most people could spot a Hitler a mile away, but it had to be done.

They are actually counter to the point tho, as hitler doesn't express his views in these pictures, whereas Gibson does show nasty stereotypes of jewish people in passion, and in Apocalypto he depicts the Maya as violent and immoral and so justifies the spanish conquest and force to conversion to catholicism (Gibsons religion, and source of his prejudices). Gibson is starting to use his work to push his predudices and you can't separate the two.

say what you like about gibson i don't like him as a person, but he's a good director, they are two kick ass films apocalypto and passion, i loved the guy who played pilot in passion.

I havent seen Apocalypto. But I saw the Mayan civilization documentary and read the history of the Spanish Conquistador in a Reader's Digest. The primary thought that the army of Hernan Cortez (1485-1547) brings to mind is "Greed for Gold" and nothing else!

He had great military merit. But what he did to the Aztec king, betraying his friendliness, kidnapping him and sucking up the Aztec gold as ransom.... and in the end, butchering the Aztec king! Its the epitome of disgusting betrayal!
[Hernan Cortez was the Spanish Conquistador who defeated the Aztecs and conquered Mexico ] Also, he didnt do it with spanish troops alone. Cortez married Malitzin, a local woman who translated Aztec secrets for him. Also, thousands of native allies washed Mexican soil with their blood before Cortez could finally kiss victory. Whosoever twists facts to make it look otherwise, is a liar!

Who can forget Mel's astounding performance in Patriot as Benjamin Martin? I loved every bit of that film and watched it twice.
