agree  Maria José Tavares (X): só utilizaria "consider"

  -> I thought of that too, however the original PT uses a simple term 'acho' instead of considero, that's why I chose 'find'. Thank you Maria José, have a great evening!

I don't find his films apologistic.


Explanation:
Today the term "apologist" is colloquially applied in a general manner to include groups and individuals systematically promoting causes, justifying orthodoxies, or denying certain events, even of crimes. Apologists have been characterized as being deceptive, or "whitewashing" their cause, primarily through omission of negative facts (selective perception) and exaggeration of positive ones, techniques of classical rhetoric. When used in this context, the term generally has a pejorative meaning.

Ou apologetic: 3. Serving as or containing a formal justification or defense

“I feel that ‘Milk’ is a far less apologetic film than ‘Brokeback Mountain’ was,” he says.
www.southernvoice.com/2009/2-13/arts/film/9787.cfm

Oliver Stone recently produced an apologetic film about his personal friend and perennial gerontocrant, Fidel Castro.

Critics have argued that it is a somewhat apologetic film, trying to justify Hitler's actions.
