Mel can sometimes go off the deep end but he did passion of the Christ and is a conservative. He lost some work for a while but early in his career he stayed quiet about politics and built his brand and future so he can get away with it. Good on him…

so he can get away with it.

He got away with it and now doesn't care what any one in the industry thinks.
Own man,Funny too

As Jim Cavizel once said, you don't make a movie about The Passion and not get some of it given to you.

The demons went after Mel hard, real hard.

I found an old clip of Mel back in 1987, when he was trying to warn the Australians about China.

He would have made an excellent Aussie PM.

His film direction, like Clint Eastwood’s, is fantastic.
