Personally I don't really care what he does in his personal life.

Yes, he is a "star" in Hollywood, and because of that people automatically start layering "standards" of behaviour that he should live up to (that they don't themselves, most of the time), but he is still a person, with likes and dislikes, and throws temper tantrums now and again, etc. People have to learn to just let a person be themselves. Sure, some of his behaviour was distasteful and offensive to some, but it appears that he has learned from that behaviour, so everyone should give the guy a break. I personally would love to watch this in the cinemas when/if it comes to fruition, because I actually like him as an actor and director. So I would definitely pay for a Gibson movie.

IPO Needed: SHOCKER! Mel Gibson And Joe Eszterhas To Collaborate On Film Telling Jewish Hero Judah Maccabee Story For Warner Bros - DL accountant_4_Jesus Sep 08, 17:54

Maccabee led the revolt against Greece, but his family became corrupt and jewish leaders had to create the mythology of Chanukah to cover up Moviesnob Sep 08, 18:16

Interesting piece of trivia there. Thanks for that. Yes, I wonder how it's going to be told. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Sep 08, 18:19

It is not trivia. Not sure where that came from. Not the case. {nm} GMov Sep 08, 21:31

There I go for just accepting something at face value... *facepalm* {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Sep 08, 21:32

For clarity, what aspect of Jesus calling it "trivia" are you objecting to? {nm} Apokalips Sep 08, 22:53

If Gibson's heavily involved, I can't imagine the telling being anything that could be perceived as anti-Semitic. Ruthian23 Sep 08, 18:22

its just interesting that he picks a hero yes, but one that set the stage for a period in Jewish History that isnt flattering {nm} Moviesnob Sep 08, 18:25

considering he frequently is utilizing martyrdom in his films, Masada would have been a an interesting choice if he's looking for redemption {nm} Moviesnob Sep 08, 18:27

Where he is one of the ones slaughtered by the Romans? :P {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Sep 08, 20:24

Yeah, I agree. I'm just thinking his people would have put an actual leash on him before they let him do anything possibly offensive. {nm} Ruthian23 Sep 08, 18:34

Does Mel even have "people" anymore? {nm} Apokalips Sep 08, 22:55

Dude, that's ridiculous. There is no truth to that. {nm} GMov Sep 08, 21:30

I won't pay for a Gibson film, but can't wait for the Tourette-like outtakes layered with Eszterhaus' literary flourishes{nm} DTXbro Sep 08, 19:34

if he would hate christians and not jews, i dont think you would feel the same way {nm} Moviesnob Sep 08, 20:57

Actually I would feel the same way (more inside). The difference with this is that Mel Gibson has changed a lot since that incident in 2006. accountant_4_Jesus Sep 08, 21:11

its more than saying jews start all the wars, but I appreciate your point {nm} Moviesnob Sep 08, 21:17

I met Mel a good number of times years ago when I was in marketing and we did work for his films. All I can say is.. mrbeankc Sep 09, 01:31

Yeah, sure, people can have "likes& dislikes" but if his dislikes include entire subtypes of human beings, we shouldn't "let him be himself" Apokalips Sep 08, 23:05

How is his behaviour in that regard any different to someone that we see down the street? accountant_4_Jesus Sep 08, 23:17

The Passion is a masterpiece. It is also an openly antisemitic film. tawdryhepburn Sep 09, 00:34

It's been a while now since I watched the film, so I can't accurately remember, but I'm not actually going to watch it again to find out. accountant_4_Jesus Sep 09, 00:52

I really wish this were an Onion headline. As an MOT, I'm highly offended. {nm} kydem Sep 08, 21:03
