You can't seriously argue that Mel Gibson made this movie to make money

Only if Gibson very publicly gives every dime he makes off this movie to charity.

[Mamzelle]

Gibson took a very large financial risk in making this movie. That makes it even more fun--I don't know exactly how much he sank into it. One place I read $25M, another $40--but boxofficemojo.com has US tickets at $154M most recent.

It's made more than Mystic River, Cold Mountain.

[Taliesan]

Whether he keeps the money or not has nothing to do with his motivation for making the movie in the first place. He was fully prepared to sink 30 million.

Your attribution of a certain motive to him, with no evidence, it itself evidence of your motive.

You're jealous.

Must brainless liberals be so transparent?
Of course, you live in a cardboard box because your socialist purity compels you to donate all your income to charity, as that is the only path to intellectual and moral honesty.

Wait... in order to do that, one must be productively employed, creating something useful.

Never mind...
