Critics are unanimous in saying that Mel Gibson's Apocalypto is violent and overly explicit, but they should see the crap the anti-Semitic ranter and DUI artiste left out.
According to a softball interview with MTV's Kurt Loder, critics of the movie should "Just thank God we didn't show you the enemas." Gibson went on to leak these details:
There are whole Mayan wall murals devoted to guys getting enemas from these women in public. It would have been like public enema number one. So we did spare you that. Critics who call this movie a bloodbath—I don't know, I think that's a little over the top.
A quick search turned up some evidence to support Gibson's claims, like this paper on Mesoamerican Archaelogy by Elizabeth M. Brumfiel that mentions Mayan vases "depicting warfare, hunting, ball games, smoking, enema-taking." Then there's this helpful warning on Maya-Archaelogy.org that revealed, "Many ancient enema Maya rituals of Belize, Guatemala, and Mexico involved natural drugs obtained from plentiful local plants in the jungle. We do not recommend that you attempt to duplicate their ingestion of these often dangerous plant chemicals."
As for Gibson's depiction of these rituals, the director can always dump it on the DVD.
