because braveheart apocalypto and the passion had merit whther people liked em or not. if we are just talking about violence then i dont give a shit. but this post doesnt deserved to be dismissed on some lesson-takin-over-ptp bull. i could careless about braveheart but it has a lot of meri as a film. i fell asleep during the passion which is a whole other problem but it to had merit. besides that o release films in (nearly) dead languages is more than ballsy, it requires a sense of art. im not a fan of antisemitism or really any of mels films but he deserves more credit than tarantino (said too much, passion of the chaseman is near at hand).
