Was depressing at end of Apocalypto, brilliant movie, I thought: "Fantastic. But kind of story RW nuts use to rationalize genocide." Sure enough, Spanish armada then comes into view: Gibson despicably constructed movie precisely as genocide apologia. Fine artist, warped mind.

(nods)A way to look at Gibson's films after Braveheart is that he seems to have thought they needed more boyfriends of Edward II pushed out of windows by his dad. So, Braveheart will age well enough (albeit problematically), Apocalypto, this Solzhenitsyn pic...won't.

The Venn diagram of people who will go to see a Mel Gibson novel and people who will go to see a Solzhenitsyn biopic can’t be very big. I would watch a movie about Solzhenitsyn but never willingly watch a Gibson ever again.

Solzhenitsyn very late in life came around to the view that Putin was cool, after all.
