So tonight I went to see Borat (which I will probably make a whole separate post about) and I saw an interesting preview before the feature presentation. The trailer was for Mel Gibson’s new movie “Apocalypto,” which comes out in December. After being confused by the trailer I went online when I got home to see what the movie was all about. So basically, it’s about the decline of the Maya civilization. The trailer starts with a quote that’s something like “A civilization can’t destroyed from without until it’s weakened from within”. I thought that was a little odd, and seemed to be downplaying the effects of colonialism.
