He needs to make another movie. My suggestion is to do one on the kamikaze pilots in WW2. Investigate crazy. He did it with the Hacksaw Ridge flick on Okinawa-sticking to ones beliefs.
Apocolypto was very interesting.
John 15:18-25
The World’s Hatred
18 “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 20 Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also. 21 But all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me. 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23 He who hates Me hates My Father also. 24 If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would have no sin; but now they have seen and also hated both Me and My Father. 25 But this happened that the word might be fulfilled which is written in their law, ‘They hated Me without a cause.’
“Mel ... just largely disappeared”
They blackballed him. He’s got money, but not Soros money. They freeze him out of movies and funding for movies. Jim Caviezel too and he doesn’t have Mel’s money. Think Mark Wahlberg’s next. Made the “Father Stu” movie, does commercials for wounded vets on Fox, says he’s moving to Nevada because he doesn’t want his kids growing up in Hollywood and is an unabashed Catholic. All three are very talented but they’re outspoken conservatives.
Indeed!! ☝🏼 ✝️
Still ruined his life. No different than a guy who’s so drunk but ends up killing someone in a car. He’s lucky he didn’t kill someone.
It didn’t ruin his life, it just fed the left’s hatred of him, he still makes movies and is still one of the world’s greatest and most beloved actors and directors, and is incredibly rich, worth more than Clint Eastwood.
Trump is always right.
I don’t hate the guy. But he did a really dumb thing. I don’t like he is more rich then Clint Eastwood though. Lol.
Gibson got so rich because of what he drunkenly ranted about.
After years of trying to get the Hollywood powerful to finance the film, Mel ended up doing it all himself.
Gibson pocketed about $300,000,000 on the foreign language film.
I made a mistake by leaving out all the other income from the movie.
“When you add it all together, Mel Gibson earned somewhere in the range of $400 – $475 million off Passion Of The Christ.”
I have always said and still do it’s a risk benefit analysis and everyone needs to assess for themselves. That is not shilling and calling it such is bearing false witness. Thanks for the attack on integrity - i expect no less from non medical people freely giving medical advice online. I am content to let my Lord judge between me and those that slander. Have a lovely evening.
Except your “proof” is not supported by many except the dirty dozen.
It must be hard to be rooting for deaths that are not occurring.
Wow. Your ability to tell the truth is certainly questionable. It was the dwindling number of the fabulous 40 or so here that wanted people to have NO choice. You wanted to impose your will on the entire world. Even the FLCCC whom you and the fab 40 now the terrific 30 along with the dirty dozen salivate over during delta recommended that vaccination was an important element in disease control. But you don’t want to admit to that truth
Recommending people make their own choices is liberty at its finest. The narrative you all advance continues to fail to the point that even the dwindling died suddenly posts no longer even mention an age or anything. You are inciting fear and rooting for death just so you can be right.
Tell me again what evil is?
As for trump he could be great. I’d you can’t see that he is limiting his potential by but being humble is beyond me. I think Trump came to the Word in office. All he would need to do is not brag and he would be fine. His arrogance is what got his ass indicted by showing someone papers he purported to be secret and not declassified. He is literally giving them ammo.
Your discernment is seriously impaired. But you simply attack the faithful claiming faith. Sad, you see?
70’s,’80’s, early 90’s.
Everybody was doing it and lying about it.
I suspect Trump was gilding the lily a little, trying to appeal to public and look macho. People expected everybody to have a weakness or vice of some sort. Had it gotten around that he was a tee-totaler he’d have been dismissed. I think he was selling something back then; I think he was pushing capitalism,
He might have done well to go across the bridge to get consulting and coaching when he first started building his public image. He’s been hounded by those early missteps.
I’m not saying he’s snow white— just that his exploits are exaggerated. He says he didn’t do it; I’m more inclined to believe him.
You were just doing your job right?
Just following orders?
We’ve heard that before…
