The funny thing about subtitles when it comes to movies like this are the fact that this is an American made movie, by someone who speaks perfect English, and probably did most of the work (not shooting) in the United States. Given that, movies having subtitles strike me as a bit silly.
Although, I guess in this case it's different, because he's trying to capture the Mayan culture as realistically as possible. In that case, I should probably be thankful for subtitles. Mayans didn't have them back then.
On a more serious note, however: I find it funny that he cast a bunch of non-actors (who apparently never even heard of a thing called a "movie"), to
act in a movie.
Religious preference has nothing to do with the reason why Mel Gibson can't get anyone to back his films; it's shitty film making.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
