did you just really compare Apocalypto racism to Crank 2 racism? Crank exist in the contemporary world were sex, race, to some extent class, and violence are put on visual roids to further suspend our belief (in the movie's world) and enjoy the action on a pure visceral level. it becomes comedic on a ironic and satirical level in Crank

Saying Apocalypto exist in that same filmed universe is disingenuous. It's a fucn period piece about Mayan's completely relying on under-informed misrepresentations of the indigenous to tell a tale of one man surviving against all odds; which if we really wanted to go deep into it, is another example of our white bigoted friend Mel using HIS Privileged world view to tell the story of people of color.

But if you want to keep telling yourself that one of the few major "mainstream" films populated by a non-white/non-black world is really about gore and violence, do you.
