Why is this any different than generic horror movies? I'm not getting why Gibson is being criticized for something the makers of "Saw" or "Hostel" don't get criticized for. As best as I can see, no one is doing any psychoanalysis on the makers of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre".

That is odd, isn't it? And worse things have been said about Christians by Hollywood types than Mel's comments. I always wondered if Gibson made those comments for publicity since, as we have so often seen, any publicity unfortunately is good publicity.
I have to agree that there is too much violence in Gibson's films. However, according to my anthropology course, the Mayans were like that. In contrast, many of the other violent films made by Hollywood glamorize violence, make it seem fun - that is far sicker.

There are people who are offended by what they think his personal beliefs are, and choose to display their dislike by attacking his work

The 'other guys' are usually very upfront as to their motives. What's interesting here with Mel is that his dark side is becoming more and more exposed.
