Billy Hayes (born April 3, 1947) is an american convicted drug smuggler. He is known for his autobiographical book Midnight Express, about his experiences in and escape from a Turkish prison. The movie adaption deviates from the book's accounts of the story – especially in its portrayal of Turks, and many have criticized the movie version, including Billy Hayes him self. Later, both the screenplay writer, Oliver Stone, and Hayes expressed their deep regret on how Turkish people were portrayed in the movie. During the 1999 Cannes Film Festival, Alinur Velidedeoğlu, a Turkish advertiser, met Billy Hayes by chance and interviewed him on the film Midnight Express. Hayes expressed his disappointment with parts of the film adaptation, especially its portrayal of all Turks as bad, and his regret that Turkey's image was negatively affected by the film. Hayes also displayed affection for Turkey and İstanbul. Although the İnterpol warrant for him had by then been set aside, he explained that while he wanted to return, he hesitated to do so out of concern that many Turks might blame him for the negative publicity the movie had generated. The video was made available on YouTube. Hayes did finally return to Turkey on June 14, 2007, to attend the 2nd İstanbul Conference on Democracy and Global Security, organized by the Turkish National Police and the Turkish İnstitute For Police Studies, to amend the negative implications of his book and its movie adaption. He held a press conference on June 15 and made an apology to the Turkish people.

William Booth of The Washington Post wrote that the film depicts the Maya as a "super-cruel, psycho-sadistic society on the skids, a ghoulscape engaged in widespread slavery, reckless sewage treatment and bad rave dancing, with a real lust for human blood."[45] Gibson compared the savagery in the film to the Bush administration, telling British film magazine Hotdog, "The fear-mongering we depict in the film reminds me of President Bush and his guys."[46] Just prior to its release, Apocalypto was criticized by activists in Guatemala, including Lucio Yaxon, who charged that the trailer depicts Maya as savages.[47] In her review of the film, anthropologist Traci Ardren wrote that Apocalypto was biased because "no mention is made of the achievements in science and art, the profound spirituality and connection to agricultural cycles, or the engineering feats of Maya cities".[48] Apocalypto also sparked a strong condemnation from art history professor Julia Guernsey, a Mesoamerican specialist, who said, "I think it's despicable. It's offensive to Maya people. It's offensive to those of us who try to teach cultural sensitivity and alternative world views that might not match our own 21st century Western ones but are nonetheless valid [...]. I think Mel Gibson is the worst thing that's happened to indigenous populations since the arrival of the Spanish. I say that in jest, but what is scary is that people will leave the movie thinking that because the characters were speaking Mayan there is an air of authenticity [...]".[Apocalypto has been criticized for portraying a type of human sacrifice which was more typical of the Aztecs than of the Maya. Archaeologist Lisa Lucero said, "the classic Maya really didn't go in for mass sacrifice. That was the Aztecs."The scene where the main character is rescued from sacrifice by a total solar eclipse was seen by some as being reminiscent of a similar incident in the Tintin comic Prisoners of the Sun. In the comic, Tintin and his companions are captured by a tribe of Inca, but are spared by a solar eclipse. Traci Ardren wrote that the Spanish arrivals were Christian missionaries and that the film had a "blatantly colonial message that the Mayas needed saving because they were 'rotten at the core'". According to Ardren, the Gibson film "replays, in glorious big-budget technicolor, an offensive and racist notion that Maya people were brutal to one another long before the arrival of Europeans and thus they deserved, in fact they needed, rescue. This same idea was used for 500 years to justify the subjugation of Maya people".
