Is Mel Gibson's movie "Apocalypto" intended as a warning ?

Question

Great movies aren't just action packed wrestling matches.Real art contains a message. In this movie,a Super power (The Maya empire) is bullying weaker communities (nations) in the name of God (Mayan Gods) and righteousness, and in order to maintain its way of life(maintain enough human sacrifices for the gods). The media in this super power(The blood priest) lies deliberately and sells fear and false dreams to the people to glorify the government(the Mayan king and queen). The bullied communities keep resisting, causing unexpected losses to the super power and keeps it busy and weakened until the time other foreign powers enter the arena(Europeans landing with their ships at the end of the movie)??
Could it be Maya=USA, Iraq=The Indian ravaged village, The Spaniards =China and Russia?
If not, then why that ominous quotation from the great historian Will Durant at the beginning of the movie about great civilizations conquered from within before getting conquered from without?

Answer 1

It looks good

Answer 2

Mel Gibson isn't really an artist, he's a performer of other people's ideas, and a master at combining different elements which resonate with us in this culture at this time; not all of his work is received with acclamation or critical approval. I'm not sure that any message from any of his movies is particularly profound, but since he started making movies which actually have story lines, he does seem to be making almost the same movie over and over again; the strong over the poor; power corrupted; it's a Celtic theme for many thousands of years now, since Rome tried to crush the Celts in Europe and then in what is now France and Britain. Gibson is very much a Celt; a storyteller concerned with justice
