The thing that disturbs me about Mel Gibson is he has this strange obsession with BLOOD and GORE.

It's all over the movies he starred in or made -- BRAVEHEART, THE PATRIOT, THE PASSION, and now this one APOCALYPTO.

Why does he like doing these kinds of movies ??

He's a wacko. I think he's filled with rage which he channels into his films. And this is nowhere near a really big box office weekend for him. He opened against rather weak competition, plus it's usually downhill from opening weekend, money-wise.

The one we all thought he'd make next, "Warrior Queen," about Queen Boadacia in Britain, involved a local woman brutally raped by the Romans, who then starts a successful rebellion. You can imagine what he has planned for that one.

Oh, and did you see "Payback?" Great movie, but again, the gore.

[Borges]

His interests Passion included seem to tend torward revenge and/or martyrdom fantasies. Even in films he's merely acted in (Ransom, Payback, many other films where he gets tortured like Lethal Weapon and Conspiracy Theory). Even Hamlet is about revenge.

I don't think you're accurately describing his career.

He's had plenty of non-blood-and-gore films.
