Having spent a month in the Yucatan; quite familar with this terrain,
and imagery. Even the blood gets due attention if you visit Quinta
Roo today. Reminder: this film is not for children; not sure adults
will stomach the violence, but true to the historic themes it is.
What's sad is how muted the Mayan are today; mostly farmers or
craftspeople living in a bad dream [tourist trap] run by the
colonialists. See Chiapas, or now Oaxaca for an example of how it can
go wrong. Con paz.
